You have to be going with your verses and you have to show others and that your writing is not a verse document, but not a few particular sheets which we are going to keep in a cupboard or in a table. It is going to be framed in the form of a book. So after that, when I was in class nine, there is this bug which had written me, and I felt that, yes, I should come up with a book and I work and prepare everything as planned
Okay. That's great, actually. So my second question to you is how long does it take you to write a book
Subham Talukdar
@knowvelist · 0:48
Then when you start writing it after 1.5 years, it will take more 1.5 years to complete the writing. And after three years you can expect that. Yes, you are having a decent manuscript or a first draft. Then it will take a few more months to go into a hand of the publication or the publishing houses

And yes, this is all I have in my work schedule and writers generally, if I'm recording an idea. So for me, it depends that I can also type 18 pages, but I can also not write in three pages. So it depends on the idea and the flow every day is different. So yeah, the thing is in the morning if I'm studying, but at the late of night, if I'm sitting there some days I can get amazing work, some amazing wedding
That's really good. So my fourth question to you is, what would you say is your interest in writing quirk

I love creating strong characters, the way my characters make senses, the way they question, the way deliver dialogues, the way they could. They're much distinct and diversion from the other contemporaries. But the thing is, I also try to balance them in the way that I also try to create strong plots and a divergent and an uncommon story which the two are trying to balance and negotiate with each other
Subham Talukdar
@knowvelist · 2:09
So this publishing houses are the different criteria, like they ask the writers to send the first receptors or they want a complete summary of the story along with the blurb like this. So after that is sent, if the publication is liking the work, then the publication will ask for the upcoming chapters. The publication asks for the entire document part wise. Then if the publication is liking it, the publication will love to get indulged with that author into a contract
That's great. Okay. So my 6th question to you is what inspires you to write
Subham Talukdar
@knowvelist · 1:17
Okay. So I'm having two answers for this question. The thing is, at first it is my stories. Okay. Those who come to me naturally automatically, and my mind always forces me to pen them down on pieces of paper. So, yeah, it's my stories. Work continues behind me, and they want me to write them badly. But the thing is not badly in a good way, but they are forcing me badly. They always do it

I love reading. I'm an avid reader, and I'm always reading something on the other. And I'm also into films, short films, documentaries, motion pictures. But I also love sleeping. Okay. So I can sleep if and I can simply do nothing and go some with my friends, with my family members. Yeah. This is all I do when I'm not writing
Yeah. That's really great, because I know you personally and I know how much you love to be with friends and how much you love to gossip and all. Okay. So my 8th question to you is how many books have you written and which is your favorite read? One. Your personal favorite
Subham Talukdar
@knowvelist · 0:46
But the first one is in terms of the publication, his favorite to me, because that is my debut book, my debut novel. But I already tell something is because of it made me believe in my public the utility
Subham Talukdar
@knowvelist · 0:08
For many unpopular incidents with relatable ambience makes a good story
That's amazing. Okay, so tell me about your plans and future dreams
Subham Talukdar
@knowvelist · 0:32
Okay. So I'm not having any dreams. I'm just having a todo list. And that's why I don't hurry. A procedure. So I love to take one step at a time. And you know that I was never a businessman. So for me, it's just presenting good stories. Presenting good works for the society, to the audience. Like a book is a writer's medium of telling a story. A film is a director's medium of presenting a tale to everyone

But people should always celebrate the small achievements in life which will help them to progress much in the future. And also they should enjoy all the tidbits and books and corners of life
