Are you a writer going through a difficult period?

Trying to get published? Already published and trying to publish another novel...... disheartened, depressed or feeling all-round low because of the daunting publishing process? I just read this very touching piece by Mary Anne Mohanraj a Chicago based writer who also organizes a literary festival with a South Asian bent every couple of years (Kriti/Desilit). I really enjoyed her collection of short stories Bodies in Motion. She's generously sharing her personal travails with her second book here. Mary Anne, here's wishing you the very best of luck on this one.

Thank you for sharing this.That even published and acclaimed writers have to go through these pains is unfortunate ... i guess this is the reality of an increasingly commercialized and commodity-oriented world that we live in.

i am glad Mary Anne is writing again.

Good luck to her and all aspiring and established writers. i haven't read her first book yet which i received as a gift but after reading her journal entry, i feel like picking it up.
