Writer's Recognition
Yesterday was a big step for me towards my career as a writer. I was invited to a university as a guest speaker on Iqbal Day.
Allama Iqbal is called 'Poet of the East' and to speak on a platform like that was a milestone for me.
I always saw recognized people coming as guests in my college and university and I wanted, deep down to get that same honor and respect. And yesterday fate gave me that moment of pride.
I was introduced as a young writer and the way people were looking, the way they were inspired, that was all the recognition I needed.
Writing is much more than cheap fame and money. If people don't know you globally, that doesn't make you a bad writer. Your time will come. Just as I hope I will have that time to shine too.Psychaotic: See The World In Red And Black

Writer's Block
I wanted to write yesterday, and all I did was stare at a blank piece of paper with a pen in my hand. There is a thing, a weird spot for writers and I was stuck in it.
It frustrating because you want to write but you can’t since your head is either:
Filled with so many thoughts they can take a year to line up, or
Blank in all directions and passages.
I was victim of the second. What I did, to solve that, is talk to a friend who also happens to be a writer (No surprises there, I mean twisted people like to be friends with the twisted minded). And as I was reading what he wrote, I was inspired to write. It was not copying or making excuses for not writing, but it is because someone writes and he or she writes to inspire someone, somehow.
So thank God for the Muse.

sky_ghosts_all_for_one
Jane and Pain are Sky Ghosts – and they kill for a living. Highly trained
bodyguards by day, they patrol the New York streets at night to keep the city safe from their enemies, Sky Beasts. One night they save two young men from their enemies’ blades and find themselves in the middle of a war. As they put their lives at stake to save their wards, the main mystery remains unsolved: why would the Beasts hunt two ordinary human boys?
Spellbinding and violent, Alexandra Engellmann’s Sky Ghosts series is exactly
what Urban fantasy fans are looking for – a blend of action, humor, mystery, and a
unique magic system.
“Sky Ghosts is a great mixture of sword-fighting, humor, wit, sexual tension,
and “imperfect romance” that brilliantly lets the readers feel like the
characters, while supernatural, are fairly ordinary people underneath it all.”
– Joe Jackson, author of the Eve of Redemption series
Sky Ghosts: All for One
Sky Ghosts: Marco (Sky Ghosts #1.5)
sky_ghosts_marco
It was hate at first sight. She broke chairs on his head, and in return he broke her
bones.
When Marco joined the New York Sky Ghosts Headquarters, he expected trouble.
What he didn’t expect was a girl half his size that would turn his life into hell.
They spilled too much of each other’s blood for any hope for reconciliation. How
did it happen that they ended up spilling blood for each other on a daily basis?
“I laughed a lot while reading Marco. The silly teenage nature of him and
Pain combined with their stubborn natures and violent streaks made for some
suitably hilarious and cringe worthy scenes.”
– Belart Wright, author of the
Average Joe series
