Writing is never an easy game played between thoughts and words. No matter how good a writer you are but when you start to write you must start from the beginning.

Writing means you have to think first clearly about everything then open your mind with your pen.

You never know while writing how one thought suddenly links with another and writing takes new turn and a different shape. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it isn’t but you will know only after writing the full length of your thought.

This always makes writing a challenge.

Sometimes you can end up with satisfactory write-ups and sometimes you need to thoroughly go through the whole length of thought again.

The mental stress is very natural. As a writer you need to take several incidences into consideration, sometimes not from one particular person but from several others and then work on them to make one character.

This character is your brain child.

Imagination is the most powerful tool that takes you away from your actual characters and gradually it helps in making a new character. Like that you have to make several characters, dialogue, monologues, sometimes new city and its architectures in just one novel.

You always have to wait and explain the behavior, dialogues, incidences and its effects first to yourself as this all is your own created stuff and not any actual incidence which you are writing.

Sometime when you write only then you get to know that there is something missing or there is some missing links that needs to be revised again. It is like a process of filtering and penetrating deeper and finding the right logic that can help you to get the desire write-up.

Writing is never easy. One has to be always on toes, to think and rethink and when your thoughts and imagination start getting shape only then your words start coming on paper or laptop. This whole process takes a lot of mental energy and a lot of time, sometimes it swallows many of your years too.

Once you have finished your first novel and you have come out of the tunnel of your imagination you need to think about the promotion of your novel.

Again for the second novel you have to go into the dark tunnel of your imagination, linking some actual incidences with some imaginative one. Again you have to repeat the whole process of learning all of your characters, their individual style, tone and mannerism.

With your first novel you have succeeded to reach your audience. Now they have read you and now know about you so now you also have added-on pressure in your mind from the first novel readers.

Your writing process is a mysterious one and each time you have to get some new, more challenging writing and develop more complex characters with more engaging ideas and thoughts.

As you move more with your story the characters must have the ability to show the complex behaviour of human being. They can be good or bad human being but that element of uniqueness must be there to make the story more interesting to readers.

Writing is not a work of formula based recipe of a syrup to get the exact level of taste, colour and mixture no matter how many times you try.  Writing is very different. It has no formula as it deals with human and its behaviours.

As we know human is what its environment is. Which incidences are influencing its mind the most? Before writing a writer has to know all and then what he does to make his brain child is a tedious process.

Readers are again the most difficult lot who are very mysterious and confusing creatures and matching their whims and fancies is never easy. The intelligent readers have same level of involvement in your story and along with that their fallacies and expectations are also revolving around your characters and story. The moment you miss to link them you are gone. You can possible lose your readers which directly affects your pocket.

Good thing is that rough sea makes you a better Sheller. The more challenge you have in your writing the better seasoned writer you will become.

Writing is a slow process but marketing is a dynamic one. You always have to come up with your best as there is always a chance of losing your market.  If your book flops then you can miss your agent, publisher, readers or fans.

Logically your whole business of writing depends on these elements and so you will never be in position to lose. After burning your mid night oil and after a long struggle of living in dark tunnels of several years you have secured this position.
