Resource about writing Novel

I often touch on the different aspects of fiction writing in my blog, but I don't think I would presume to tell anyone else how to write their book. We all develop our own methods, sometimes different ones for different novels.

For example, right now I am working on my third book. The story idea arrived whole in my mind (a rare occurence for me!), so I wrote up a quick outline: beginning, middle, end. Some writers call this a "framework" for a book. Then I expanded the outline and found I needed a cheatsheet on each character, a list of settings, a chronology of events, and a chart of relationships (it's a complex middle). I tried having all this on the computer in one file of MSWord documents, but I really needed a faster reference method that wouldn't take me out of the page itself. I printed out the charts and tables and posted them on a bulletin board near my desk. I couldn't possibly keep all this information straight in my mind before I write the book.

Having this novel pretty much completely outlined allows me to focus on the writing craft now. After several decades of writing, I know that this procedure works much better for me than just writing and seeing where it goes (nowhere, usually).

For you, I would suggest that you first get a better grasp of the language, if you're going to write in English professionally. Never pass by an opportunity to practice good writing and to demonstrate your skills.

Listening Resource

Get into the habit of active listening. Listen to as many different people as possible - your friends, your family, your boss, co-workers, customers-anybody who can give you a new thought or perspective to think about. Ideas are almost always born of dynamic blending of thoughts, and the more you listen to what other people have to say, the greater your chances of striking a new idea you might not have thought of on your own.

Resource about Illumination

I saw a film by Krzysztof Zanussi recently, called Illumination. It is a film about science: its ethics, politics, successes and failures, and the ambitious young physicist who is trying to find his way. Anyone who is interested in science would enjoy this film, and what is interesting is that even though this is a film from 1974, the issues and scientific accomplishments it covers are particularly relevant and current. Illumination is St Augustine's theory that moments of clarity and understanding come about in a Platonic revelation of the real world that is more a result of a purity of heart than intellectual effort.

Adventure in VISA Interview

Visa interview is something that is always given a tremendous hype and my case was no exception. I attended a number of Visa counseling but nobody could draft what exactly will be asked. It only game a basic idea of what would happen at the same time they todl me to expect any thing. Well finally the day arrived, my interview was at 10 o clock in th morning. I reached there well ahead and had to complete various formalities. After completing all those I was asked to sit in a cabin and they told me to proceed once my name is called. Till that time i was comfortable but as the names were call I began to get nervous. Well it was my turn and it was a Female member in charge for my.I showed her all my documents. She refused to take it and told me to leave. I got dead scared and with a mild tone i asked 'Mam what about ma visa' well she immediately replied that your visa is through and have a nice time. I was shocked to receive such a reply. It was a great sense of relief.It is certainly one of the most unforgettable incidents in my life.
