Blogging journey

Blog to Book :Journey of an Author Sitharaam Jayakumar

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 8, 2018 3

When Friday comes, can the weekend be far behind? On weekends if you want to curl up with a new book then I have some news. On my blog today Sitharaam Jayakumar has come with gifts. His new thriller is free for download just for you!

Before you grab the book don’t forget to read his inspiring journey. An IIT ian, poet, blogger and now author, the man behind the book, will inspire you to look deep inside for talents you have.

Read the post for a look behind the scene.

Tell me a little about your background, your story.

I belong to Tamil Nadu. Both my parents are retired government employees. My sister is an ophthalmic surgeon. I grew up in New Delhi. I graduated with a B-Tech in Metallurgical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Varanasi in 1988. I initially tried to take up a career in marketing but to be honest that was a total washout as I found I did not have the diplomacy or the finesse required of a good marketing man.???? I then switched over to a career in Information Technology and I have been working in the field for the past twenty-seven years.

Has your background helped you write?

Frankly, I have never written anything except an Independence Day speech in my fifth grade and essays as a part of my academic curriculum. Writing is totally new to me. But the fact that I studied in a school where I picked up a lot of proficiency in the English language has helped me immensely. Now that I am writing, I realize what a boon that has been. Another thing that has helped me in my brief writing career is my voracious reading habit.

Why did you want to write a book?

I actually started as a blogger. A year back we had the founding day function of the organization I am working in. Usually, we have a cultural program and normally I sit safely with the audience and never present anything on stage. One of my close friends suggested that I present a poem this time. I had never thought of myself as a writer especially a poet. Initially, I did not take the suggestion very seriously. But that weekend I was sitting with my laptop and just for the heck of it I gave it a try. The poem was based on the antics of my mischievous twelve-year-old daughter.???? To cut a long story short the poem was a big hit at the function. After that, I decided to start a blog just to post poems.

One thing led to another and soon I was posting articles, photography and several other things on my blog. That is how I started writing. As far as writing a book is concerned I made my first attempt some six months back. Actually, I was planning to post it as a series of chapters on my blog. It just appeared to be a good idea. I had no plans of writing a full-blown book. But after I had written the first chapter I asked myself; why should I post it on my blog chapter by chapter? Why not write a complete book? I sat down and reeled off some ninety pages.

Then I gave what I had written a reading. It did not read like a good book and I gave up the idea. Finally, I heard of the Blogchatter e-book carnival and that is how I came to write my first ebook. It is not even a novel. It is just a ninety-four-page novella. I hope people like it. As you can see writing a book in my case has been more an accident than something I attempted by design.????

What is your book about?

Eighty Hours To Save Karen falls under the thriller fiction genre.

I will give a short synopsis.

A little child named Karen is afflicted with a strange illness. The doctors are at a loss to explain the illness and there is some suspicion that it could involve the occult and the supernatural. Karen is all that her grandfather Mathew has left in the world. Mathew starts out on a dangerous quest to save Karen’s life. The story is all about Mathew’s journey to save Karen.

Who helped you write the book?

The book was proofread by my friends Varadhrajan Ramesh, Krishna Kumar Subramaniam and my sister Sudha Somanathan. They came up with several useful suggestions. Another person who helped me was a colleague in office Jose J Pallakkathyil.

Tell me a little more about your writing habits. How many hours a day do you spend writing? How do you edit, proofread and format your writings? Who inspires you?

I write both poetry and articles. I write poetry when I am struck by some inspiration. This could be a phrase I hear or something I watch on television. I post articles when I hear or see something I feel strongly about. Recently I have also been inspired to write flash fiction by my friend Varadharajan Ramesh. I spend around an hour or so every day on writing. Sometimes I take a break from it for a whole week especially when office work takes precedence. For editing, I use tools like Grammarly and Ginger.

But one thing I have learned is, it never pays to do something that has to be done manually by using automated software. So, I depend more on myself for editing and formatting. I read the articles I write a number of times before I post them on my blog.

One thing is if I sit down to post something I finish it in one go even if it takes me three or four hours. I have been a voracious reader since my childhood. Some of my favorite authors are PG Wodehouse, Stephen King, and Robert Ludlum. I also love the legal thrillers written by John Grisham.

As a writer, I am inspired by Stephen King and Agatha Christie.

When you started blogging did you have a plan to write books?

I never had any plans to write anything, leave alone books. Writing has come as an accident and I am extremely happy that it happened. I am thankful to fate for guiding me towards writing.

What about the Blogchatter Ebook Carnival? Which part did you enjoy the most?

The Blogchatter A to Z blogging festival and the e-book carnival are simply a marvelous platform to bring out your creative juices. I like the idea of writing twenty-six posts related to the English alphabet in one month. It is a really tough challenge and tests one’s abilities and perseverance quite a bit.

The e-book carnival helps aspiring writers by giving them a chance to present their writing skills. There are several video chats conducted by Blogchatter with eminent authors and publishers during the course of the carnival. I listened to a video chat by the founder of Readomania, Dipankar Mukherjee as part of the carnival. He presented some very interesting insights and being a beginner, I learned quite a bit. I loved mingling with my fellow writers the most.

Your favorite quote.

I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn”
Anne Frank”

Do you have a launch plan?

I am taking one thing at a time. At the moment I am looking for feedback from people about my first attempt at writing. But yes, eventually, I do intend to publish my novella using KDP in Amazon after some time.

How happy are you with this milestone?

For the time being this is my plan. I am quite satisfied with this milestone. I hope people will like my e-book.

Tell me about your future plans and goals.

At the moment I am trying to set up a platform for taking up writing full-time, in say, another three years. I am fifty-two now and I will be retiring from my profession in three years’ time. I am fully aware that this field is extremely competitive and only the very good ones make it. And after all, I have just made my first attempt at writing something close to a novel. But yes, I do have an aim of becoming a full-fledged writer someday. Only time can tell how successful I am in the venture. I sure am hoping I pull it off.????

One wish you have for your journey as a writer.

As far as wishes go the sky is the limit.???? It might sound ridiculous, but I would like to be the next Stephen King ????. But coming down to the sphere of practical politics I want to have some kind of a loyal following even if I do not become a famous author. By that, I mean people who look forward to my books and enjoy reading them. Even if I don’t touch the pinnacle of glory I would be more than happy if I get that far.

On Writing by Stephen King :Book summary you must read

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on June 5, 2018 33

When I read the book on Writing,I was pleasantly surprised.Surprised because a simple thing like reading a lot and writing a lot was the core message.But was it the only tool a writer needs?

On Writing by Stephen King, a book summary :The back story

I write about health ,wellness and my journey as a mompreneur on my blog.

ON WRITING BY STEPHEN KING :BOOK SUMMARY

While writing ,the most important thing I try to remember is to make it readable (Yoast helps ).

Even the best information, finds no takers if it’s boring .If it has no story to tell ,it will find few takers.

When I started Blogging all the best bloggers suggested, you need to tell a story .

I really didn’t get it maybe because writing about reflux and depression was difficult for me as a story.
On Writing a memoir of the craft ” was just ,the book I needed to read.

King makes grammar lessons interesting.I finished reading this book (the main 327 pages ) in four hours.Don’t forget it’s nonfiction .

The book was described by the Guardian as “part biography part collection of tips for the aspiring writers.”Its one of the books you must read, if you want to write well.

In the authors words:

“To learn about writing,learn from people who write.”
Stephen King is one of the bestselling writer of horror fiction books.

When I thought about learning how to tell a story even in nonfiction ,the best way to learn was from the master of fiction.
I approached the book with a lot of worry.A book on writing ?
What am I thinking?
But the author has you hooked from the forward itself.He talks about his passion for” the art and craft of telling stories on paper”.

To sum up the book :

There are no shortcuts.The only way to write well,fiction or nonfiction is

“to read a lot and write a lot”.

Now to give you the nitty gritty of the book.

The book is divided into 4 sections:

CV
Toolbox
On Writing
On Living a postscript

The CV: glimpse behind the molding of the writer

The story of how Stephen King became Stephen King.Reading it, you will realize why hardships are important.

For you to reach your full potential ,your experiences are important. The good, bad and the ugly.

The author had a less than perfect childhood.But what he experienced, gave him the skills and the perfect mindset ,to spin tales out of thin air.
In the CV he says” my attempt to show how one writer was formed”.
He believes writing comes from within.You are born with the necessary “equipment “.
Not necessarily best seller material but certain raw material needs to be there as storyteller.
With learning ,practice these skills can be strengthened and sharpened.

That’s why you need to read.If you read the masters, you learn.When you read books which are not that good,even then you learn.

Books are the best teachers.
As The King puts it aptly,
“If you don’t read other people’s work,don’t expect them to read yours.”

You realize that most of the human weakness and doubts are universal.

That’s the wonderful thing about reading about famous people.

He says that good writing need not just be about heavy important topics.
It can be simultaneously, intoxicating and idea driven.
As a blogger you are a writer .Have you not felt the biggest adrenaline rush when someone praises your way of storytelling.
Just like the Aesop’s fables the best lessons are learned when they are sugar wrapped.
Just because the topic about which you write is serious it need not be boring.

Important lesson

Serious need not be boring

Why I loved this part?

The author is a serious book addict .That makes us book soul _siblings (separated by time,space and reality).
He carries a book everywhere (just like me).King reads while walking on the treadmill!

That coincidence is uncanny(that’s a fan speaking!)
In the last part of the CV he talks of performing a mentalist routine over time and distance.

Reading the CV you will realize why writing,fiction or nonfiction is visual.If you can make your readers picture it in their mind.You have done your part as a writer.

On Writing by Stephen King a book summary

In the Toolbox

The author,talks about the grammar,length of sentence and the most importantly.
“Why you should avoid the passive tense.”

Favourite quote from this part:

” We are talking about tools and carpentry ,about words and styles…but as we move along ,you’d do well to remember that we are also talking about magic”.

That’s example of intoxicating nonfiction.Making you imagine you can weave magic out of words.

On Writing

Before you write don’t forget to read .That’s a deep lesson.”Reading is the creative centre of a writer’s life”.
I think that’s why I love blogs too.You can read so many different types and learn so much.
He advises four to six hours writing every day together with reading a lot.

“READ A LOT ,WRITE A LOT “

That is the great commandment in this section.
He very wisely tells you to write about what you know and mix it up with your experiences of life.That’s a pretty potent formula.

On Living : A Postscript

The last part is about his resurrection after a life altering event.

My favourite quote in this section:

“Writing is magic,as much the water of life as any other creative art.The water is free.So drink”.

If you are writing in any way,i f you want to write…don’t stop.
If there’s one book on writing which you must read , it is this one.I thought I would get a grammar handbook.What I got was a life handbook.

Writing is cleansing.Writing is cathartic.
Writing is happiness.Writing is Immortality.

Guest Blogging for mompreneurs :Dos and donts(List of 200+guest blog site)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 28, 2018 36

Google likes fresh content.But what with writing , researching getting images tailored for the log and sharing on social media writing every day can seem difficult if not downright impossible.

That’s why most big websites have an option of guest posting .Guest posting on sites with good domain authority will help you improve your site’s value in Google eye.

How does that happen?

Generally guest posts are allowed one link in their author bio .This link is to their blog and may be to their twitter handle .

So that’s great right ?

Yes , it’s great .But the main problem is people get into two minds about guest posting .

Shouldn’t they write to increase their own blogs content ?

Yes you should .But in early days of your blog your traffic and regular readers may not be enough to do justice to your content.That’s when guest posting on authority sites help .

What do you look for when you guest post?

What’s the DA of the site ?Check ahref .It should definitely be better than yours .Previously alexa was a big deal.But nowadays its importance is being re evaluated .But still definitely look at the Alexa of the site you want to guest post at.

Whether the blog is in my niche?

Is my audience here ?

Check buzzsumo for most shared content for that blog.You will get an idea what kind of topic does well there.

What should you do then ?

Write an amazing post on a well researched topic with preferably a wonderful tailor made opt in ready for the audience which comes from the other site .

Do not use churned content.This is the most important thing to remember.You want to make a great impression on the audience and the blog owner .Using second-hand content is the best way to put people off.

Guest Blogging for mompreneurs :Dos and donts(List of 200 + guest blog sites)

Should you allow guest post on your site ?

Guest posts on your site can be perfect for the times you want to go on a vacation .

What should you know before accepting a guest post ?

1)Whether the author is using this guest post as a sponsored post ?

2)If it has a link to a site which sells something or a brand page be careful about allowing them to post on your site for free.It will appear as a sponsored post .

3)Is it original content ?

None of us like churned content.

There’s a reason why Ezine article directories are no longer popular.Having a lot of duplicate content on your site is plain bad news for your site’s ranking and authority. While it’s great to trust people to be honest,you have to be careful with your baby ,hubby ,family and blog .

Do you want your good name to be under scrutiny ?

Even worse Google may give you a penalty for having such content on your site .At worst you may be blacklisted ?

So what should you check before accepting guest posts for your site ?

Does it fit your audience interest?

Is it original content ?

Plagiarism checker free tools are available online .

You can also use copyscape to check the content after privately publishing it .

Also don’t forget to use Google to check whether content is copied?

Just type the title in the search bar and see what Google throws up .

Then read through at least some of the posts to see whether your guest post is inspired or churned?

Sometimes the plagiarism checker can’t tell if the language is changed keeping the content same.Believe me these things happen.It has happened with me!Professional churners know exactly what to do.

Also some people may offer you authorship and money for guest posting on your site .Again it may look lucrative but don’t forget to check.Why would someone guest post and give you authorship ?

That’s because their names may be blacklisted by Google .Content churning can make google search results of poor quality .That’s why Google actively stops that by penalizing sites and authors who does that .

Simple Rules for guest posting on my site

I never accept churned , duplicate content .No amount of money will help you with this one , so don’t try it.

Check the niches specified for my blog . I accept guest posts on health,wellness, lifestyle , parenting , travel and blogging tips targeted for women.

I accept only well written and researched articles with proper references cited(depending on topic).

Only submit articles ,whose copyright you have.

After publishing on my site all rights are mine.

For sponsored posts please mention upfront.

For guest posts linking back to paid content and service pages, terms and conditions vary.

Write to me at dramrita@healthwealthbridge.com with your website link, your bio and a few words on why you think my blog is a good fit for you. Don’t forget to send me links to other guest posts you have done.

Thankful Thursdays:Thankful for Love

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 28, 2018 17

Did you know , Love has healing power?

There’s something about love.Just something few understand and even fewer get.Love is deeply interlinked to our health and well-being. People can die of a broken heart!

There’s real science to back up this claim.I wrote about how being social is good for your mental health.

The same holds true for love.Loving is great for your emotional well-being. But be careful .It needs to be balanced and reciprocated for – health benefits.

I am thankful for love in my life .

Love for The Almighty .

Love for this beautiful life.

Love for my daughter ,my family.

Love for nature and books.

Love for learning and challenges.

Love for serving.

Love for sharing.

Love for always trying .

Love is like air.You really can’t live without it.

When all your wishes come true ,everything becomes empty if you can’t share with someone you love.

That’s the beauty of love.

The truth of the universe.God loves us and that’s why he wanted us to feel love. That’s one emotion which can only be expressed by someone, who has loved.

To be loving is good .

To have loved is great.

But to have experienced reciprocation in your love …that’s something to be thankful for this #ThankfulThursday.

Have you ever loved,deeply madly with abandon?

#Thankful Thursdays week 14:For not being

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 25, 2018 45

This week is thankfulness with a twist.
We are thanking God for all the things we are not ,or for all things we thankfully don’t have.

Doesn’t that sound interesting?

When you focus on the good it increases.When you focus on the evil that grows more powerful. So what are you focusing on today ?

I am thankful for
Not being lazy.
I have immense amount of energy for all interesting work .But I can fall asleep standing, if something doesn’t interest me.Now that makes a lot of people angry!

But isn’t life to be lived?

If you spend it doing half-hearted boring work ,when do you actually have fun?

After becoming a mommy I found that the 90% repetitive mommy chores were made easier by the cuddle ,hugs and kisses .

That’s when I decided to use this rule for my other chores .If I get some mind numbing boring chore (like sorting the folded clothes) done, then I get to spend an hour doing something I love.

That’s how I cut off ,the bit of lazy tail I had !

Not being pessimist.
There’s a fine line between a die-hard optimist and a fool .Yes a very fine line indeed.That’s why I am a planned optimist.I have a mind blueprint I follow ,to get the best out of every situation.

I leave no stones unturned ,to do a thing to my very best .Then if it doesn’t happen I have no regrets!

I row for the shore and always pray to God.

Now if you have read about my journey so far ,you know it wasn’t always a bed of roses .

I had made errors of judgement with serious fallout twice .Both times I was too optimistic. Even when all other signals told me to pull back.

But if you have ever seen a bull in a China shop you will know me.That’s how I am with a project .I tend to take down all obstacles till the project gets done.

But now I am more graceful(I think). The 3 greys in my hair seem to have brought me wisdom.

Now I practice all that I want to say or do on my hubby and my group of best buddies and if they look really shocked I let it marinate in my brain.

After a few days /weeks /months of marinating I take out the idea again and chew over it .If it feels like a good idea even then, I make a step by step plan .

Then I bore my hubby again till we have chiselled away all the rough edges of the plan .

That’s how I started this blog .

I read somewhere that we all need at least 1 person in our life who is sceptical of our plans . Preferably in a kind way, not in a mean way.When that person agrees to your plan ,run with that.

Not being in a bad relationship
Relationships and politics are both murky.Some relationships we are born with .Some we make .Whatever it is ,we need trust in it.Allow space for it to grow.After your parents ,your adult relationship with your partner /spouse will depend a lot on you.

Did you choose well?

Did you want an exciting person who did things suddenly ,giving you wonderful surprises? But what if he forgets to be there during your tooth extraction?

Did you want a fairytale destination wedding that would need you paying off your debt for 10 years afterwards.

Did you want a friend who would hold your hand,go for an adventure with you and give you TLC when you had fever?

Did you want a good person? Or a mysterious person ,whose truth and lies were always difficult to perceive.

If you have read Mills and Boon at any time , then the tall, dark, silent, angry hero always seems highly desirable.

Cut back to reality .Marrying an uncommunicative mysterious person may give you more stress than anything else .

Not being a non believer
Have you read Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow rich ?

If you haven’t read it now.

It’s important that you believe in God and have faith in yourself to get all things done. To conquer inner battle and outer wars.

Your mind is a powerful magnet .The thoughts radiating from it ,create an electromagnetic field which attracts the external manifestation of that thought.

Fortunately or unfortunately man is still not able to control his mind.Because our mind has the capacity for great good and great evil.Not being unhealthy.Health is your true wealth.Doctors have some of the most unhealthy lifestyles.

Blame it on our conditioning during training.I blame it on India’s population. There seems a never ending amount of people needing your care.

That’s why I make a conscious effort to eat healthy, sleep and exercise. I also read write and garden to get the lifestyle disease monster out of my life!

What are you thankful for not having /doing /not being this #Thankful Thursdays. Comment below to let me know.

#Thankful Thursdays :5 Apps you are thankful for

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on May 25, 2018 18

I am an app addict.

I love android phones, because of the truly great selection of Google play store apps.
All the apps I use are free and have saved me countless hours of irritations.
The best part they make my phone my virtual best friend.

My phone and the apps :uses
It helps me blog anywhere
It helps me shop anywhere.
It helps me give virtual medical consultation anywhere.

This #ThankfulThursdays
when I started writing about my favourite apps I had a tough time narrowing it down.

Note taking app:Blogging BFF

Evernote is the undisputed favourite. Its a note taking free app with awesome search and organisation features.
The free plan lets you sync your account across two of your devices.That way you never lose your notes from one device to another.
Evernote also lets you share and collaborate notes among team members ,through their system .

Why I love Evernote
It has unlimited memory .
You can make unlimited folders/notebooks .
It has a sophisticated ,multiple keyword search feature .It also allows searching for keyword in articles ,if you have forgotten the title.
I have been using Evernote since 2013 and I absolutely love it.

Picmonkey Photo Editing app

You must have heard of Picmonkey tool for photo editing.
Did you know it also has a truly superb app?

This will help you make customized graphics for Instagram, twitter,Pinterest .
They have template options ,stickers,overlays ,text options to pretty up your blog graphics right from your phone.
I stumbled on this one about 5 months back and has made my life much easier.
At least my posts are not without their featured images!
Only negative:
If you have made a mistake and saved it then there are no undo button.You have to cancel,restart editing from scratch.Thats a bummer ! But the upside is you are more mindful.

Image2pdf

Planning on making a quick pdf to share with your blog readers ?
It was never easier .
Click images of your content and upload in this app.Then make it a Pdf .That’s how easy it is.
Only negatives :
The first page of your book should be clicked last. A little problem also while selecting the pics.

Mg favourite Shopping app
Snapdeal

I love the amazon site .But when it comes to the app somehow we never became friends.
I have spent many a happy hours filling up my shopping basket with the Snapdeal App.

Lybrate App

This one I use ,to give consultation online .
The best part there’s one for patients too.
The app let’s me store the chats I have with my patients and also their medical information.
It takes booking appointments, sending reminders and health info to my patients hassle free.

A Bonus app which I love :
The Kindle e-reader app .I love reading and ebooks are the best way to have your library with you, when you travel.
