My birthday was this week, and somehow, it's been quite stressful and depressing for me for the last couple of years. It was no different this year, of course. Yesterday, stress of another nature occurred with an intruder who wanted some money and wouldn't leave till after I threatened to hit him with my slippers.… Continue reading Stress and Relaxation

Back after a long break
I hadn't intended to take a break, but work got so crazy. I could hardly write two or three sentences a day afterwards. Most days in June, I got home after 9 or 10 in the night, so exhausted I was keeling over. Fortunately, all that is at an end now. My resignation has been… Continue reading Back after a long break
One Down, forty four to go
Finally, after cursing and stomping my feet and countless tantrums from my brain, I finished the first draft of Fiery Magic. I do feel accomplished right now. The rewrite of Soul of Magic is going on. I hope I can get it finished this month. Fingers crossed. I started a new WIP and a new… Continue reading One Down, forty four to go
More lockdowns and writings
The lockdown in our State is continuing, and we had triple lockdown in our district the last one week. The good part? Gave me time to write. I wrote 15k words in this one week, and I am rather proud of the effort. Fiery Magic wasn't moving forward, so I tried something new. I plotted.… Continue reading More lockdowns and writings
The travails of lockdowns
I know it is necessary here, with how the Covid cases rising everyday and deaths too, but I'd forgotten how inconvenient a full lockdown was. One good thing is banks don't have to work every day. Three days a week with 50% staff and timings up to 2, so I had to go only one… Continue reading The travails of lockdowns
A new addiction
I started reading Shadow and Bone on 27th and finished the whole series with Rule of Wolves on 4th. My mind is still lost in the Grishaverse to the extent I am unable to do anything. I also bingewatched the show on 2nd, but frankly, nothing compares to the books. Nikolai is my most favourite… Continue reading A new addiction
Another Friday and More Thoughts
I have been quite busy this month, and for once, it is not work. I have been helping out a couple of friends with editing, and having a lot of fun. One of them had had some quite exciting changes happen, but more on that later. I also caught up to my camp nano goals,… Continue reading Another Friday and More Thoughts
Weekend Plans
I haven't got a synopsis for RevPit yet, but there's still time? I've got my submission document ready for now. I'm also behind in my camp nano goals, so plans for the weekend is to catch up and maybe build up a buffer. Even though I'm behind on my goals, writing is still happening, and… Continue reading Weekend Plans
April is Camp Nano
I did finish Wizard's Debt in March. I have too many things to do in April, but I am hopeful that work being less stressful would help with that. I also signed up for Camp nano. At this point, most of my nano projects are titled Miscellaneous. Which works since I never seem to be… Continue reading April is Camp Nano
Some positives
I watched Zach Snyder's Justice League today and I loved it. Mind you, I loved the 2017 movie, but even then I'd wanted the Snyder Cut and this one didn't disappoint at all. I also started watching Hannibal yesterday. Watched three episodes, and if not for watching JL, I would definitely have watched more of… Continue reading Some positives
