"All this while we were talking about making everything in story look real... i thought this was a fiction writing workshop... where is the fiction?"
"what should a writer concentrate on: winning the nobel prize where there are a lots of politics or writing best books. let's take analogy of cricketer, shud he practice to play best or shud he practice to win world cup?"
The best analogy to understand the plight of a writer!
"If one wants to make living as writer he needs a minimum of 1000 dollars a month and probably can write one book a year."
That is approximately Rs. 45,000 a month. Wow! :D
"the indian won't publish my work because my work features no indian protagonist and neither is it based in india - why is it that a writer from india has to be in an ethnic ghetto?
anyway, the americans would rather publish one of their own when it comes to mainstream fiction. they want us to only write ghetto stuff like namesake and maximum city. no need for us churn out a grisham or a king!"
Errr... how much do you know about an American's life? So basically you're creating your own barrier by saying that only an American Life Story is Mainstream fiction?
