Writing A Book? Read Twinkle Khanna’s Tips For You First!
- JWB Post
- November 16, 2016
Now, I know, Twinkle Khanna is everyone’s favorite. And after her debut book, Mrs. Funnybones, she became India’s highest-selling female writer in 2015.
Her new book, The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad, consists of four stories. Well, now that she’s a well-recognized author, she shared a few writing tips with Vogue that’ll help you to get started on that book you’ve been desperate to write:
- Read everything you can get your hands on: Programme your mind to read all the time and everywhere—even in the bathroom, skim through the lines printed on the back of shampoo bottles and sanitary napkin packets.
- Eat carbohydrates: All these protein diets may help you twirl prettily in a size-2 dress but if you want your mind to take a few marvelous leaps then you have to give it the food it needs.
- Live in the world of probabilities: Examine things with a magnifying glass made up only of what-ifs.
- Find a tolerant family: These kind folk must accept the fact that you may sit at your desk for hours at a time while spouting vague excuses like ‘I will come out later, it’s too hot’ or ‘Don’t come close, there are insects on my desk!’
- Walk, run, cycle: When you live inside your head for such long periods of time, you have to open the windows, air it out a bit, let sunlight stream into all the dark and dusty corners of your mind.
- Relish being an oddball: Well-behaved, well-adjusted people are hopeless storytellers and, honestly, terribly boring.
