Why do I write novels? I can\u2019t stop wondering. Interestingly, the answer keeps changing with time. There is one constant in the equation that never changes: my engagement with my readers. Just completing a manuscript won\u2019t make it a book. It has to be read, interpreted, and engaged with by readers. I write, you read, and I learn how it reached you. I include that learning in my upcoming books. The cycle never stops. Writing is my escapism. Leaving behind all pretenses, hardships, and sometimes even responsibilities, indulging in an imaginative world is my guilty pleasure. I wouldn\u2019t call it a passion. It is me. Constantly trying to satisfy myself with my art and failing miserably, then resuming once again. It is a poisonous cycle. Truly, the worst addiction of its own kind, I keep coming to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An artist\u2019s career is often compared to the flight of a plane. It can\u2019t always be in the air. It is the landing everyone fears, wishes it to be graceful. Me too. I will write, write, and write until I have the energy. Someday, I hope I will be fondly remembered as someone who made at least a tiny impact in your lives, someone who put a little smile on your faces, and somebody who gave something solid to the community I gained so much from. Thank you for all the love you have showered on me, from Penmai to my various blogs to Kindle. I hope this website is a tribute to the special bond we have nurtured. Let\u2019s keep this a positive space. Keep those conversations coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Love,
