ah, yes. neither for financial gain, nor critical acclaim. of course.
i do think that writing and then, liking what you write are the important parts. others reading it, and liking it are comparatively quite insignificant.
not necessarily; sometimes I write for me, and sometimes i write for an audience. The standards I employ to evaluate both would be the same, but it would certainly make a difference to me that my book, that I wrote for an audience, lacks an audience.
However if you mean to say that personal satisfaction is primary, then you're right. I like very little of my work, but I'd have to like something before I even consider publication.
uh.. yeah .. thats what i meant .. er.. that second thing. my sentiments exactly. though for me, quality consciousness has taken a beating, while publishing on an anonymous blog at 4 in the morning.
@john doe - no such thing. you just don't blog enough, is all.
@mudra - arre , mudraben! long time. nothing man, i was just sitting here spazzed out at midnight as usual, and suddenly I had a feeling in the part of my tummy that is psychic, which told me that one day i am going to write a book. And thank you for offering to buy my book. I will hold you to your word! :P

I apologise for the word-verification captcha thingie, i feel your pain. i enjoy reading spam comments and i read with interest all the comments spam kumar, spam kapoor, spam balakrishnan and spam mukherji earnestly sent me, but then the novelty wore off.
it's good to see you've started pre-production marketing.. good move
ReplyDeleteOne day I will edit a book. One day I will make a movie. One day I will clean my room.
ReplyDeleteDon't. Your blog will start being hell boring then. Precedent says so.

ReplyDeletei notice none of you have said you will buy my book. :D
ReplyDeletei will buy your book :)
ReplyDeleteI will buy that book
ReplyDeleteto be fair, you didn't say you'll get it published.
ReplyDeleteanyhow, writing is the important part.
@ani_aset and phatichar - thank you! now THAT is faith.
ReplyDelete@JD - point well made. I'm also likely to write a book and never mention it to anyone, so you're perhaps more on point than you thought. :)
