That to me is the beauty of your blog & books. I am sure its nowhere close to eating a pizza :-) for lunch. Maybe your overall simplicity makes ppl think its easy and effortless.<br /><br />Anyway, you know, there have been times when I have liked your article so much that even if i didnt stop to leave a comment, I want to let you know that I have forwarded it to more than a couple of my friends/relatives because I thought they should read it and it makes me happy when they read you and reply to me saying 'thanks, this is what I needed to read at this point in life'. I think you should know this :)coz that thank you note is for you!<br />I only wish you the best for I know you can take care of the rest. (the rhyme wasn't intentional:)<br />Cheers!<br />Taramindspacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767622341788704109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-90592157480238974892011-11-27T22:08:55.657+05:302011-11-27T22:08:55.657+05:30The reason I find authors fascinating is the troub...The reason I find authors fascinating is the trouble they take to complete their thoughts. Some times I read an essay and think I thought about this once, but this person has taken trouble to use that idea and put it on paper, which needs more work, lot of research etc.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064976868457782200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36418670.post-47980575845876835472011-11-25T09:54:34.611+05:302011-11-25T09:54:34.611+05:30so happy to have stumbled upon your blog

Its great that you are happy and enjoying what you are doing. As some one who has always yearned to be a full time dedicated writer I agree that it involves amazing dedication, hard work and total commitment and not every one can actually get there.<br /><br />But most importantly, keep writing what you love and not what others expect you to write.
