Hey fellas! It feels amazing to write again after a long time! Due to my woeful exams, I had to abandon my  precious blog for a while (which I totally regret!) 

After my exams got over, I did many interesting things like drew some sketches and read many novels like Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska by John Green, Divergent by Veronika Roth, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. Phew! 

Out of them, the one which truly stole my heart is The Girl on the Train (which is an engrossing mysterious thriller) and Looking for Alaska (now I'm in love with Alaska Young!)

Well, I got inspired by John Green and his writing style and I decided to write a story! So while writing it I came over some writing tips which I wanted to share with you. So ta-da!

"Don't judge a book by its cover." But trust me, people do judge a book by its cover as well as its title. Don't name your story 'Love' or 'Hate' or 'Revenge' or 'Life'. Take an example of Paula Hawkins' book - 'The Girl on the Train'. Titles like this would arouse curiousity in the readers' mind like "who is this girl?" or "why is she on a train?"

2. Don't make the characters perfect!

Come on guys, they're humans not gods! You should never make the protagonist perfect, add some flaws. The readers wouldn't be able to relate with that character if he/she wouldn't seem realistic.

3. Don't start editing before your first draft is ready.

Because as they say, "First draft doesn't have to be perfect, it just have to be written." Once you complete your book (which is the most important thing) you would have plenty of time to edit, reread and make it perfect.
