"Be the change that you wish to see in the world." — Mahatma Gandhi
Hello book readers, I hope you all are fine, I am also doing well. I have a very big announcement to make here. I am finally a published writer, I have published my own book, it is a novel, it is a fiction.
Work that I have created myself, I am overjoyed, I am over the moon, I am so happy and thrilled and excited to hear this news. That I have finally written my book, I am belated and over the moon.
So, it happened back in twenty twenty-four when I started writing my book. I was busy and I was occupied with so many things which is why it took me so many days to finish it, when I was done writing it when the book was complete, I was busy with the work of menu script which is technical and mainly related to the publishing of book and I had to work on the alignments, font size, page size cover design and what not, I had to talk to the publisher as well and it was a hectic and exhausting work, but I am happy that I continued it and did not give up on my dream.
The book is about a man's story from rags to riches. A man was poor, so poor that even fulfilling the basic needs of his family, of his home, was very difficult for him. He was a primary school teacher and went on becoming a millionaire only because of certain motivations in his life.
I have based this book on the setting of my own city and I have added so many cultural and traditional norms because of how strong I find characters around me. The characterisation has been based on real life. I have been a keen observer of people around me, in movies, in different cities. I have watched it. I have read so many books. This is why my sense of characterisation is also very strong as my readers have told me.
Anyways, this is a beautiful journey. Being recognised as an author who has written a book is something so wholesome, so proud, and being a Pakistani it is my humble and genuine effort and it has earned me pride and honour of representing my world, my side of the culture, my people and how they live, how they lead their lives. All of it is reflected in my book and I will always hold it so close to my heart.
This is something I will always be proud of and I have attached the picture of my father looking at my book. This was a moment I knew that I have to become a writer and publish so many books, even if it is a lost art, even if I do not find many readers, even if I become a failed writer, but I will always continue writing because my father told me how proud of me he was and it just motivated me to a new level.
Anyways, thank you for your time and support. I will see you in another blog. It means so much to me and this community is yet another reason why I published this book. I am hoping to receive support and love from your side in the comment section below. I will be looking forward to engage with all of you and let's see what the next chapter holds for us. I have taken these pictures with my iPhone fifteen.
If you are an aspiring writer and if you are willing to write a book, you should continue it and get it done because nothing is more beautiful, more precious and more worth working than this.
It is like creating something your own and I cannot express this feeling, even if I am a writer. I just want to motivate you to continue it and publish it, get it published. Only then you will know the feeling of it.
