Hey everyone,
I hope everyone is fine. Had a nice and quiet day so far and feel tired for no reason.
I finished the plan for my new novel except for the climax. That is something that I can never decide and that is the end. I never know what would happen in the climax. Yes, I do plan everything but as a back-up. I never follow a plan but use it as a reference tool. A story can take it's own course and own way of coming together.
I am writing my plan for the main character today, the protagonist. I have a clear picture of him in my mind, I know his characteristics and the way he responds to things. I quite like the themes of the novel...terrorism and religion become the main themes towards the end according to the plan, which makes me think the story will end up being different to the plan. I am going to create strong characters that will carry the plot forward but whatever good the plan has done and that is it created all the characters.
I think this story will be great...I will be posting the first chapter soon and I have to think of a title and the tagline to the novel. So I better start thinking then...
Catch you tomorrow!
Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

The Next Masterpiece...
Hey everyone,
How are you all? I hope everyone enjoyed yesterday's post that celebrated one whole year of the blog.
This post today will be about my next masterpiece. Now, I know you all might be disappointed from what has happened in the last week but I have learnt a lot in this past week.
So what is my next novel about? What is it going to be? Am I going to keep with the romantic genre? Am I going to do genre writing? Well...all is now going to be revealed!
The next novel will not be of any particular genre but it has a few themes. The themes are terrorism and religion. The main protagonist suffers with amnesia and the story is seen in his eyes as he tries to recover his memory to know why he was being accused of terrorism. He is from London and turns up in India.
The main protagonist meets people on the way, he finds love, he finds luck, he finds happiness and peace in his soul but not until he recovers his memory. He needs to recover his memory and find out if he is really a terrorist or not, and that can only happen when he comes face to face with the unknown person in his nightmares!
I hope you like it and please tell me if you do or if you do not like it!
Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Chronicles of a Creative Writer celebrates its first year!
Hello everybody!
Wow! One year has passed since I had entered the world of blogging. It has been one year where I have seen positive and negative in my career and in my personal life.
I must thank everyone that has visited this blog, knowingly or unknowingly, you make me happy. When I know someone has visited the blog, when I know that one person has visited...it makes my heart jump with joy! Thank you all for your continuous support and commitment on reading the blog. However, it does not stop there! Thank you to those that have commented on the blog too...it means the world to me!
Obviously, I am going to keep this as short as possible. My year has not been great but it has also been one of the best. From failing friendships to new relationships. From failing relationships to new friendships. It surely has been a roller coaster this year. From writing on the blog 3 or 4 or even 6 times a month to writing on it daily. From leaving Facebook to writing a new novel. From sadness to happiness. From darkness to light. Whatever has happened within this one year has brought me great joy, happiness and even a little bit of fame!
Surely, I must admit that Rahul N. Singh is nothing without his readership or fans. Whether it is my writing that you love, or my personality that you love or my wacky thoughts that you love. You all keep coming back to read what I have to say. Oh...I forgot to add that it could also be my good looks that you love that keeps bringing you back!
My promise for this year is to carry on writing on the blog, as regularly as I can. I promise that my writing will get better and better, day by day, from strength to strength because of the motivation that I receive from you all!
This post will be incomplete if I do not mention the people that have inspired me, motivated me or helped me with the blog.
First I would like to thank:
Baba Ji - You have been my source of happiness, tolerance, patience, love, affection and compassion to everyone that I meet. You have been my rock that keeps me steady when I am about to fall. You are there for me whenever I close my eyes. When I feel down - I know that You are always by my side, telling me that I am strong and that I can face the hurricane that is in front of me. Thank you for showing me and inspiring me to believe in the One God! Thank you and lots of love!
Sahiba - You are the very reason why I have this blog today. If you had not advised me to write a blog then I would not be writing this post right now. If it was not for you, I would not be celebrating this one year of blogging. If it was not for you, my readership would not have grown like it has. Sahiba, you have always visited the blog and although you does not comment on here as much as I would like you to, I know that you are always happy with what I write. You probably have more faith in my abilities than I have for myself. You have shown me to not give up and to continue writing on the blog. There was a time when I was going to quit and you reminded me that I had to carry on and that I would be disappointing so many people if I had quit. You have also been a rock in my everyday-life and have always made me smile when I am down. You give me strength when I feel weak. I am lucky to have a person like you in my life! Thank you and lots of love!
Vikram - You are one that came up with the name 'Chronicles of a Creative Writer' and you have possibly made it a household name for everyone's favourites or bookmarks on their internet browsers. You listen to my every word and advise me and assure me that I am doing the right thing. You always ask for my advise and listens to it carefully. You push me forward to do better in life and to improve my writing further and further! I love the jokes that we have and the hours of phone conversation about our fascination over Bollywood actresses! Thank you for your comments on the blog and for regularly visiting on the blog. For that my brother... once again thank you and lots of love!
And Shah Rukh Khan - Anyone that visits this blog can instantly recognise that I am a huge fan of SRK. There are reasons for it. He is a successful man not only in his career but also in his personal life. I have met him a few times in my life and I must say that he is a true gentleman. If there is anyone in this world of entertainment that I should inspire to...then only Shah Rukh Khan is the one. Thank you for entertaining me with your movies and also with your advise in your interviews.
Thank you to every reader, fan, friend and family that have visited the blog and who continue to visit the blog. This personal website of mine has helped me open up to a world that is full of love and which is obviously interested in me. I hope that I have made you think positively and made you smile. Thank you to everyone from the bottom of my heart and I love you all loads!
Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh
P.s I have just forgot to add one person - my little brother Harsheet. He is constantly reading my blog and loves my writing. I am sure he is proud of his older brother as much as I am proud of him! God bless you and lots of love my little bro!

Good news for my fans!
Hi everyone,
Firstly, I am sure some of you are disappointed from yesterday's post. However, there is always some good news to follow.
The first good news is that if an agent doesn't take up 'Love is Complicated' by July, I will e-publish 'Love is Complicated' for everyone to download and read. Please be patient and see what happens in the next few months. Either way, you will get to read my first novel even if it is not of 'publishing standards'!
The second good news is that I will be taking on another novel and the idea has come to me. However, I will not be starting it yet, but maybe in the next few days I will tell you. I plan to write it as quick as possible and edit it as quick as possible for you.
The third good news is that despite 'Paralysed in Evil' being shelved for the moment, it will be taken upon again in the future. There are a few guides and books I need to read and think about before I do start writing again.
I am really sorry for disappointing you all but I can only get better and that is my belief in myself. We all have to learn the hard way and definitely I am learning (not learnt yet) how to get better. I want my fans to be fully satisfied with my work and that is more important to me than anything else. You have to be pleased with me. Just remember, I am only 21 and it is highly unlikely that my first novel will be published. I can only learn and not become a good writer but to become and rise as a great writer!
Lots of love to you all,
Rahul N. Singh

Bad news for my writing...
Hi everyone,
I hope everyone is good. The following news is not at all part of an April Fool's joke but is God's honest truth.
I got bad news for you all. Love is Complicated may not find itself an agent. After sending a few excerpts to an author, I was told the novel is not of publishing standard. Unfortunately, my debut may take a lot longer than we expected or hoped for. I am really sorry guys, I am not changing Love is Complicated one bit as I believe it can sell. I will not risk the simplicity of Love is Complicated even if it reads like a script. I still believe that it can sell! At the moment, I have lost hope for that to be published right now. I was even told that I could not even tell a story so what more can I expect. I guess my dream debut will take a backseat for now. I am really sorry! The hunt for agents is still on and like I said, if in a few months I do get a positive reply then maybe the dream debut will be back on. However, after those comments I have to take out a plan B!
The second bad news for you all is that Paralysed in Evil is also being shelved and I have to come up with another novel that will atleast allow me to enter the market. I know this will disappoint some of you and trust me it breaks my heart too. Unfortunately, simplistic story-telling is apparently not writing so it leaves me with no choice but to stop writing Paralysed in Evil. Again, I am really sorry.
What good news can I give you. I am at an all-time low at the moment and I have to think of new ways to tackle these so-called intellectual publishers/agents. I have to play the rules of the game for a while before I can start bending the rules. I really do not know if I am a shit writer or if I cannot write at all. It kind of makes me feel deluded at the moment. Hence, on that note, in case anyone did not read my last post then please do so, here is the link: http://chroniclesofacreativewriter.blogspot.com/2009/03/message-from-my-heart.html
