The Library Ghost

By on 5

The Library Ghost is a book written by my daughter. Yes, I said it. I am super happy, mommy, that we could do this collaborative project in such times.

I wanted to give my daughter something fun and interesting to look forward to every day.

That’s when I thought writing a story and drawing the characters was something she always enjoyed doing.

Why not play with that?

Children are indeed the biggest victims of this Pandemic. Their childhood of carefree fun is threatened by COVID 19.

But if I ignore talking about the serious stuff, teaching my daughter things beyond her syllabus is enchanting.

Kids take to learning new things like a duck to water. They enjoy the creative challenges and keep trying until they get things right.

I wrote about the process we followed while getting The Library Ghost Published. So today I have a gift for you.

The book The Library Ghost ,is free to gift and buy on Amazon for a limited period.

Download now for the child in your family ????

Book Blurb for the Library Ghost

Author Anuprita Misra & Dr. Amrita Basu

Illustrations by Anuprita Misra

When Young detectives Rina and Mira get busy with solving mysteries, you can be sure there’s drama on the way. Curiosity and common sense help them solve the mystery of the Library Ghost and save the library. All in a day’s work.

The setting was a Library. My daughter, interestingly, has only ever visited her school Library. But she heard stories about me regularly haunting libraries wherever I lived.

Stories, I guess, are what you pass down from one generation to the next. The best part about writing them down is someone else can enjoy them too!

Do you like visiting libraries? Let me know in the comments below.

How We Wrote a Children’s Mystery Book

Read the book The Library Ghost here .

Children are the most affected in this Pandemic. Their education,  their childhood,their play all have to adjust .It’s a very heavy price to pay.But with conspiracy theories flying fast and thick ,there are few ways to bear the blues.We are waiting till vaccination for kids is possible.

Solving some fictional crimes, is what we did to get rid of the unanswered questions of our real life.The book is the first in the Young detective series.

It’s a tribute to our shared love for mysteries.

Why did we write and Self-Publish the Book?

Writing was mostly done by my daughter with me pitching in only when she got stuck.She wrote and told me about it.

But why did we decide to publish it?

So that 2020 doesn’t become a missing year in our life.Its a year when we learned a lot of things about self help.

My daughter also wanted to learn the process behind writing and publishing on Kindle Unlimited.I enjoyed showing the little one how it’s done.

Now how did the book get written?

One day at a time.

How to Write a Children’s Book the No stress way

I did both the developmental.editing and copyediting.Grammarly was our editing helper and proofreader did the final part.

Writing Down The Bones:You and Your words

By on 8

Writing down the Bones is a book by Natalie Goldberg which every writer must read.Make that every artist. Writing is like giving the world a piece of your mind.When you sit down to write ,you search your brain for those hidden memories forgotten experiences, sudden pleasures .You weave them into a tapestry and then you wonder.

If you are a writer, wanting to write or an artist of some medium -Read the book.

Insights from Writing Down the Bones

Is it good enough?Should I even show it to the world?What if people know that you are faking it?Any art which is created is good enough .Because you believed in it.Showing up with it is tough,but is indeed half the job.It gives you validation.


AND everybody is faking it .So while writing keep your hand moving is crucial.

Right brain writes, left brain edits so don’t correct while writing that stops the glow.Don’t think about what if it doesn’t make sense?Few first drafts for anyways.

So should you still write ?Yes to be a writer you must write.To be a painter you must paint. To be an artist you must create Art every day.


Creating Art takes work.Work at having fun in losing yourself in the process ,in the practice of it.


It’s about the Practice.Sometimes you would want to do the dishes,fold laundry, clean the kitchen sink twice before even starting to write.Those are the days you must definitely write and also the other days.Wriying is a practice. It’s a practice training your hand muscle to do the job at hand.If procrastination is your enemy ,you still must sit.


In the book that’s the most powerful message the author gives.It’s a Practice .I wanted to write about COVID and ended up writing about writing.It’s where your keyboard takes you.Some words are easier than others .In the book the author gives you a list of writing prompts to help you write with your senses.She talks about composting our experiences to make our writing richer.

Golden words -You learn to write by writing .
Another must read book and I am not going to pretend to critique it.Its a beautiful book which all writers who want to listen to their soul better,must read.

Remember Real Artists Don’t Starve!

The Water colour Adventures

By on 2

I started dabbling in watercolour and different art forms in 2020.Art is relaxing when you don’t stress to much.

Being a beginner in most forms of art ,I was surprised to find wonderful beginner friendly tutorials on Tangi (a baby social media platform for creatives).It s a unique platform where the try it option helps you upload inspired work from artists.Learning from creative in a supportive environment is meditational in times like this.

Tulip on my Balcony!
From the Rose A Day Challenge I am doing


I am talking a lot about my art nowadays. That’s because it’s one if the best ways to relax at the end of a busy day or even to start the day.


Even practicing everyday is satisfying. You may or may not share with others  but it’s still the learning curve and is what’s called The Practice.Nothing happens without this first.
Now with Canva pro I create cute clip arts with our art work .

A workshop I attended
Tennis player in blue and red :The game is on!
The tennis player in Yellow ‘Am I too yellow?’:Credit Anuprita Misra


This was a doodle with my daughter where she was trying monochromatic themes when a girl plays tennis.It’s inspired by her own tennis lessons.What I’ve done is remove thd background option on Canva is its super easy to use.I can remove backgrounds and use the art on  various ways.

Tennis player in Red ‘You can’t take your eyes off me!’:Credit Anuprita Misra
Tennis player in yellow and red:Let’s play


This was fun to do.


Then I read the book Real artists don’t Starve by Jeff Goins. He gives some timeless advice primarily among it being that never work for free. Never give away your art. Be generous with your art, but remember to make money too. He also shares some interesting insights about the importance of mindset. Why artists need to create every day and never stop believing in the process of Practice. So that’s the reason behind this rambling post. You need to support your work. Stop doubting. Start practicing.

More about the book later.

This week I am traveling, so expect impromptu posts and fun web stories !

Writing for Blogchatter AtoZ .It’s a T,I hope .

32 Bookish Quotes to Make You Smile #WorldBookDay

By on 0

On this world book day, I thought of writing down my own inspiring quotes(I hope), as book lover.

Dear books, I would be nothing without you .I have never learned anything without a book on that topic. History, Geography, math’s science and then later Medicine, Surgery. Then blogging, writing, drawing, everything.

I am a believer and a devotee of Goddess Saraswati ,who blesses those on the quest for knowledge.

That’s why I think all those who loves books are always blessed.

Even when I read blogs and newspapers and watch videos, I search for books, eBooks, or print books to get to the root of the topic. When someone writes a book, you know it’s a topic they feel deeply about.

When someone reads a book, there occurs the inception of ideas in that person’s head.

That’s why it’s exceedingly important to curate the books you read.

What you put in, you express.

Free Book and Thank you KDP

By on 4

2020 is coming to an end and if you have just found my blog, I want to share about a free book you can download, until the 13th of December( 12:00 PM Indian time).

It’s the book I wrote in April 2020, when India went into lockdown. With COVID-19 scaring the living daylights out of everyone, it was almost like I had to write all the things I didn’t want I didn’t dare before.

I  started blogging in 2014 to share my professional knowledge and expertise about health, nutrition, wellness, and the not so smooth journey of earning money online. Making money online in India? Does that even happen? This was a mystery I needed to solve and that’s why most of the content on this blog is about health, wellness, and personal finance topics which have helped me now blogging and writing did help me earn money and that’s where my books on Kindle unlimited help so as a thank you, I try to share my books for free, whenever the Kindle select gives these promo opportunities. 

FREE BOOK & Why I write Fiction.mp3

It’s the first in the Krishna Mishra Mystery series. You can download the book or gift it to someone. Here’s the Book link. Would love it if you let me know what you think of the series.   

Readers choice award in Health Category by Tck Publishing for 2020 ;Book Fruits for life:Nutrition Secrets your Doctor won't tell by Dr.Amrita Basu
Readers choice award in Health Category by Tck Publishing for 2020 ;Book Fruits for life:Nutrition Secrets your Doctor won’t tell by Dr.Amrita Basu

On another note tckpublishing just published their 2020 book awards and my book Fruits for life: Nutrition Secrets Your Doctor Won’t Tell, won third place in the health category. Do check out the wonderful resources they have for writers.

Last year my book on Probiotics and Life won and I couldn’t be happier. I have always written nonfiction except for a few fiction pieces here and there. But in 2020 I realized a truth; you need to write down all the things you want to do and just do them one at a time.

I am happy to tell you I took a creative writing course, finished the first mystery book as an assignment, and then also published the second book in the series.

In 2020, Kindle Unlimited and the entire self-publishing industry motivated me to keep doing what I did. Because in the middle of all the crazy, it was a comforting constant. It helped keep me calm, writing, and publishing. The 3 books I have published in 2020 are the two from the Krishna Misra series and the nonfiction book on Childhood obesity. Plus all the writing on my blog keeps my writing muscles happy. It’s the digital home, anywhere everywhere.Writing motivates me and Amazon KDP is a big reason to smile ,for self published authors like me .

Now I would never have started writing books if not for the Blogchatter eBook Carnival. But if not for KDP select my books would never be sold. Having my books on the Prime Reader list several times helped boost my confidence. Now that I am learning the ifs and buts and beyond I will be sharing all about that in 2021. But if one super-rich e-commerce giant deserves a thank you, it’s Amazon. 

Not only my online shopping, but earning money from selling my eBooks was a distant dream which I didn’t even know how to dream. 

So, thank you Jeff Bezos for believing in books, the world’s largest book library, and making book publishing truly democratic. Because at the end of the day, books are our chance to learn and share. If you are not reading you are not learning. 

Give my book a read these holidays and if you let me know in the comments below or on Twitter @misra_amrita .  Writing this for the cornerstone content Challenge .The topic was content that motivates and I hope the post did it’s part.
