You. Hello, mira. Great to be here. Thank you for inviting me. So good evening, everyone. So I am the author of middle grade fantasy and paranormal novels and today I'm looking forward to this session to talk on my writing journey and getting to know you all. Thank you
I read that you are in metawals and block technology, I mean, the current much needed technologies in demand. And you have published this is your 7th novel. Butterflies in Your Stone is your 7th fiction. So seven books and a demanding career in It. We would definitely like to know how you juggle it and how you you feel about juggling both the roles and your journey as Anata

And I also like to write for long hours at a stretch then shorter time frames and that usually happens on weekends or spring breaks when there is lesser demand because my children are their school going children. So there is lesser demand on school activities like sending children to school, making their breakfast and so on. So basically taking care of the school activities. So that is how I've been trying to manage. Yet sometimes daily life can get overwhelming and there are days I can't find time
For example, if you ask me, I love to write about second chances that you fail and you rise up as a phoenix somewhere. Love that kind of stories more than anything else, though. I have written stories inspired from mythology and things like that. But what inspires me most is these kind of stories. So is there any favorite generic, any comfortable topic of writing for you similar to that?

That is again, a coming of age novel, more of a contemporary romance fiction or a drama kind of a novel. But again, that also was very inspirationally related. I didn't know when the story totally overtook me and I started writing the book. So although Peril already had started writing the sequel of another mystery story. But of course, writing fantasy and romance is more liberating as you have more creative freedom, as you are the complete master of that story
And that is very important when you write a thriller and also when you write a romance. Mostly like you don't have to think like what social message I am giving or anything. You're kind of free because it will be the story of one girl, one boy or coming of age story just like butterflies in the storm. Anything like a normal family drama kind of thing also. But when you are writing a thriller, you have to really think what kind of a message that is going out

So all this really counts for helping you to become a better writer. So write as much as you can, because writing gets better with habit and discipline. And also, if possible, create a blog of your own and start writing away on that blog in the field that interests you. Your blog may be about poetry or it may be about book reviews or any opinion or lifestyle. So start create a blog of your own and make a habit of writing regularly
So these are great tips, Ma'am, and I'm very happy that you shared it with the writers and all to our listeners. So now it's meera, gopalakrishnan now, winding this swell cast. And I am thankful to Pradma Ma'am for accepting my request and sharing her wonderful views here. And I am also thankful to my listeners who are listening to this well cast for supporting me to interview more authors

You. Thank you, mira. It was a great conversation. I really love talking with you. You have a great vibe, great energy, and being a writer yourself, I got to know a lot, got to know your viewpoints and your pearls of wisdom on a writing life. So it is great to hear from you too. I've got to check your stuff, your books on the online stores, so and this is a new platform to me, it was a great experience
