		<title>How to beat writer&#8217;s block (the fun way)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Writers are famously lazy, but years of writer’s block, well, that is too sour. I have heard people getting stuck in writer’s block for as long as eleven years, thank the animals (for once, please) they have a regular job. All right, you are here not for small talk, but to get a hand to [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "How to beat writer&#8217;s block (the fun way)", url: "http://literaryzone.com/?p=2358" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Dramatist C.D. Sidhu, a word portrait</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Edited by Ravi Taneja
This book was gifted to my daughter, Enya, by my uncle, Dr. C.D. Sidhu. I read through it very slowly, taking in its essence, tasting its exotic flavour. From this book, I learnt more about a man who fought all his life for what he loved: drama.
Dr. Sidhu has written thirty six [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Dramatist C.D. Sidhu, a word portrait", url: "http://literaryzone.com/?p=2147" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Udaipur: Stepping across cultures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Narrow lanes where only a car can pass through at a time climbed up to hotels and shops in old Udaipur. It made me do two things: fight with claustrophobia and try to get a glimpse of the famous lakes.
The largest lake in Udaipur, Lake Pichola, is blocked from view by hotels, shops and houses; [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Udaipur: Stepping across cultures", url: "http://literaryzone.com/?p=2055" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s all this about word count?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Put A Love Story by Eric Segal beside War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy and the argument does not stand. But I am not thinking about selling, for a change; I am thinking about determining the volume of your book accurately.


I read somewhere an easy way to do it. If you divide your book into [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "What&#8217;s all this about word count?", url: "http://literaryzone.com/?p=1990" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Show, Don&#8217;t tell: Emotions and Expressions</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
From editors to fiction gurus we hear the same advice Show, Don’t Tell. Careful use of verbs instead of a truck-load of adjectives is what an experienced writer will say. I add that transforming emotions into expressions is one of the must-do jobs of every fiction writer. It is a simple trick if you know [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Show, Don&#8217;t tell: Emotions and Expressions", url: "http://literaryzone.com/?p=1766" });</script>]]></description>

		<title>Tip on building fictional characters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

To people, it [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Tip on building fictional characters", url: "http://literaryzone.com/?p=1600" });</script>]]></description>
