At least this procedure will guide what can be done. It does not aim to present a solution but identifies all these factors which I have come across and helped me to steer through the confusion.

My First book comments from London!! One of the best comment so far I have ever received. Love this reader for his writing proficiency. I cherish the passion Sree has been revealing. His commitment to becoming better on a regular basis is magnificent. It inspires me as a writer when I have such a reader. There’s no dearth of words from his expression, there is abundance in his thought while appreciating others works, he looks for possibilities and digs deeper into the work product by using his optimistic glasses.
I admire this attitude. For certain one day you can be a writer, I recognize you will write..…thanks for your time and effort.
