Write in the language you dream in
Jyoti Guptara and Suresh
Guptara are twins based out of Switzerland. They were fascinated by the world
of fantasy. At the age of 11, they finished the first draft of their novel,
‘Conspiracy of Calaspia’. By age 15, Jyoti was published in the Wall Street
Journal. By age 17, the book became a best seller. They loved fantasy and were
fascinated by this world. So they wrote in the language they dreamed in.
Why Write?
It will help you in
communication, business and getting your story out to the world. The personal
experiences each one of us has, is our unique story. There are lots of lessons
you learned from the life you lived. The very same lessons can help other
people as well. The things that fascinate you may fascinate other people as
well. So write, about the things you are fascinated by and write about your
life experiences.
What to write about?
Write about thing you are
passionate about Write about things you constantly think about. Write about
subjects you are emotionally connected to. But most importantly just start
writing.
My first book was about my
experiences as a student in the education system. It was about how I navigated
through the education system, to find my own unique way to educate myself and
achieve Academic Excellence. I was just sharing my story
and my views on education about how I went from being a really bad student to
falling in love with the process of learning and becoming better.
Write about experiences
unique to you
The student experience was
something unique to me. I strongly believed that only a student could describe
how his or her colleagues could do better based on the student’s own personal
experience sitting in the classroom for years.
Writing my first book about
the student experience at school because I was still a student when I wrote the
book and not a parent or counselor. I had to retain my student perspective and
think about the situation from the eyes of a student. I could see through the
eyes of a student because I was a student myself.
This was what I decided to
write about.
What about the research
process for the book you wrote?
Most of my research was based
on the twelve to thirteen years of time I spent in classrooms growing up. I
wrote about the educational experience after actually being part of it and
experiencing it in real life.
Many of us come from
different backgrounds, countries and cultures. Some of us grow up in a middle
class family. Some of us grow up among artists. Some of us grow up among
mountain climbers. These are all experiences the world will like to read about.
The life you have lived up to now is a good starting idea for your next novel or
non-fiction book.
