My weekend post on how we make snap-judgements about others based on the mental models we have instilled in our brains through early conditioning. P.S. I hope at least a few, who may get offended by this post, read it. #bloggersky scubestorybasket.substack.com/p/this-or-th...

And this was the result of quitting my job, and minding my own business (and my family's) for 7 years. There's one more to come into this collection. #writersky

I’m proud of all my books, if not for the response, then for the intellectual stimulation I got by writing them. But I’m particularly pleased with my short story collection. 1) It was the result of consistent effort over 52 weeks & 2) I ignored the advice to focus on ‘a’ genre.

Utmost respect for those who go through tough experiences in life, yet don’t let the bitterness pervade their soul. Anger, rage, regret, and sorrow are all valid emotions, and immortalising without espousing them requires a special kind of courage. Being creative helps.

It's here! My sixth book since 2019. I hope it's worth all the effort, the meandering draft, the revisions, the edits, the breaks, the blank days, the crazy days, and most of all, the 4 am writing sessions. #newbook #mystery #writinglife #authorlife #fictionwriter www.amazon.in/dp/B0FBLYZXT1

I did not post my Substack newsletter this weekend. My thoughts have been too chaotic even for paper, so I let things slide. Sometimes, it’s fine to not have anything to write, or have so much that you can’t form a coherent post. #bloggersky

I have been eyeing some tote bags at the local photo studio that offers to customize the designs. It took me many years to convince myself that printing my book covers on one wouldn't be a tacky idea. Now, I can visit the library with a mini book promotion on my shoulder. #authorsky
