Author Summary- Rashi

We all know how difficult it is to write a book. Today we are going to meet someone who has published two – in one month!! Thrilled to introduce the second author I interviewed in a series conducted jointly by @anshuwrites, @priyreflects and me.

Interview with Arjun Gupta, Author of ‘A to Z of Mental Health’ #ashasks

July 19, 2018 by ashwini No Comments
Arjun's Favourites

I am so so happy to see this post go live! It’s my very first published interview of an author. While I have interviewed lawyers and sports personalities before this, nothing compares to getting to know the mind of an author. I truly believe writers are special people. It’s the reason why @anshuwrites, @priyreflects and I got together to explore these creative minds. We reached out to newly published authors and asked them about their motivations, their favourites and some tips on writing, publishing and marketing an eBook. Around 40 authors responded.  So many of the author interviews have blown our minds away. Hope you read all the interviews on Anshu’s, Priya’s and my blogs and find something to take away from each of them. 🙂 

Time to meet our first author. Can we have some applause please, for …Arjun Gupta.

Arjun is a crusader for mental health and has explored it in great detail in his book. This 20-year-old author aims to increase awareness and make people more sensitive to issues of mental illnesses. He’s also a passionate blogger who has a patent pending method to fight writer’s block! Read more to find out!

Newly published authors…are you ready for the spotlight? #AuthorChatter #ashasks

July 8, 2018 by ashwini No Comments

Surprise!!!

We are hosting #AuthorChatter!!

What is #AuthorChatter?

#AuthorChatter is a virtual tête-à-tête in an effort to know all of you newly published authors (on the #BlogChatter platform) and your recently published eBook. 

We will send across around 10 curated questions about your new book as well as your journey as an author.

Why should you sign up for #AuthorChatter?

It’s a valid question. Months after publishing your book and breaking your head over all the marketing strategies that you came across, you had thought it was all behind you. But we believe selling a book is a tough nut. Your book might be the best read out there, but how do you let your readers know you better? #AuthorChatter is here to the rescue!!

#AuthorChatter is a humble attempt by us to spread the word about your book across the blogosphere. After all, every bit counts.

A Message in a Bottle: Flash Fiction for World Environment Day

June 5, 2018 by ashwini 22 Comments
It was a bright warm day on the beach. The waves were gentle. There was hardly any breeze. As the waves receded, they left behind a bottle covered with seaweed all over. Jamie rushed over. The six-year-old was so excited to visit the beach. He vaguely remembered the last Sunday beach trip. It had been too long ago.
He dropped the sea-shells he had been laboriously collecting the last half an hour and bent down to pick up his newest treasure. He stopped when he heard his father shout ‘Jamie, wait!’ He looked up to see his father come running towards him with his hand raised and palm facing him. He hung his head in resignation! He couldn’t wait to become a grown-up! They had all the power! He was sure his father would lay hands on the bottle first under the pretext of checking it for safety. He will have to change this story when he relayed his adventure to his friends. He only wished his father would not rub the bottle. Everyone knew that Genies granted wishes to the person who freed them by rubbing against the bottle they live in. Oh, how Jamie would love a good Genie!
Peter walked up and slowly picked up the bottle. He carefully removed the seaweed from the bottle. As he noticed the shape and colour, he couldn’t help but wonder…
Could it be?
No…
It wasn’t possible.

The Mystery Deepens – The Mystery Blogger Award

May 13, 2018 by ashwini 8 Comments
I have been nominated for Mystery Blogger Award by Priya from priyreflects. Thank you so much Priya. I am delighted to receive this award nomination. It is indeed an honour receiving the award from the most fashionable squirrel ever! She sure could have given Audrey Hepburn a run for her money!
This award is the brainchild of Okoto Oke Enigma – a teenage blogger who felt that there are several amazing undiscovered blogs out there that are a mystery to the world. That’s why she called it the ‘The Mystery Blogger Award’. It is also named after the creator since ‘Enigma’ means ‘Mystery’.
She says…

“It’s an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts. Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion.” 

Let’s spread some blog love people!! 

Here are the “RULES” that must be followed…
  1. Thank whoever nominated you and provide a link to their blog
  2. Put the award logo/image on your blog
  3. Mention the creator of the award and provide a link as well
  4. List the rules
  5. Tell your readers 3 things about yourself
  6. Share a link to your best post(s)
  7. You have to nominate 10 – 20 people
  8. Ask your nominees any 5 questions of your choice; with one weird or funny question (specify)
  9. Notify your nominees by commenting on their blog
