Coming soon!
Hi there,
Apologies for not posting this sooner.
Things have been crazy in a crater-erupted-inside-my-home kind of a way. I have been working NON-STOP since Friday evening. I took a break only yesterday morning. I worked and worked, till I fell asleep in front of my laptop. Upon waking I worked again. I had to revise my manuscript of my 5th book and do the edits, and God, it is a tough task, requiring immense concentration and effort. You cannot let your mind wander even for a few seconds, as you might have missed something.
When I work on edits, I shut down from the outside world. Nothing else matters. I find anyone trying to even talk to me, an intrusion. Fortunately I have a co-operative family and they give me my space and time.
In case you want to read more about the process of writing a book, click here.
And this is just the first round of edits which are over. (two more remain)
Meanwhile nobody guessed the title of the book, and so I went ahead and revealed it on Facbook. For those of you who are not on FB, here it is, my 5th baby! (The due date is 2nd week of November.)
I am very excited about this book, as 60 percent of the book is from a male point of view. My closest guy friends who read it, (including Satish) said that nobody would even say that a woman has written it--it captured the thoughts in a man's head exactly. All of them, felt it was my best work yet.
I felt happy about that.
The book is about unrequited love. I shall share the synopsis and cover soon.
Meanwhile there will be a lot of fun stuff happening on my FB page.
Do join me there! (Especially if you want a quick reply from me to anything you have to say. I am very active on FB and Twitter )
In the other news, I have two sessions at the Pune International Lit fest!
Both my sessions are on 21st. So if you are around, come and say a hi :)
Here is the website for more details: http://pilf.in/
I leave you with a visual I shared on Facebook. These are lines from 'The One You Cannot Have'.
Will post again soon!
Till then, please wish me luck :)
And tell me what you think about the early glimpses of my new baby :)
Good night folks.
With love
Preeti

ReplyDeleteHi Preeti,
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of your books . . . .I bumped into this blog accidentally and am glad it happened. next, I quickly looked up a few websites on books to find raving reviews by all your readers . . . congratulations!!!
I am looking to read one of your books, I found "The Secret Wishlist" the most tempting one so far . . . However, your new book "The One I Cannot Have" seems equally enthralling . . . .
I look forward to enjoy your books as much as I do your Blog Posts . . . and yes - do keep writing :)
I am starving to read the new one...waiting for preorder link to go up....

ReplyDeleteEagerly waiting for your 5th book.
The way you build up suspense on your FB page makes the wait tolerable.
