"ORIGINALITY & BOOK PUBLISHING"

What is originality?Originality is an exclusive thought or idea of a person not yet thought or said by another person.
My originality comes into play, when my mind asks a question, in the midway of a thought......."Whether this is possible?"
I am of the opinion that 90% of the books on fiction,stories,essays published in the world should not be written at all.Why? Because, they write out of compulsion; they offer to the reader nothing but environmental disaster of wasting our precious trees!I know the daggers will be out, but what about the content potential?Going still deeper, even some of the current bestsellers are boring to read.You have to look at the classics...............Dr.Zivago,The Ten Commandments,Ulyses,Samson&Delila,Cleopatra,Where Eagles Dare,Charlie Chaplin,Mother India,Malgudi Days,20,000 leagues under the sea,Marx Brothers,Gone with the Wind......such novel are full of inspiration, awe,entertaining,morals........a book you want to hold to your heart forever.I know everyone who writs will consider me a villain, who has come to spoil their party' but I don't mean any such thing.I only want to encourage them to come out of their closet with something original in content for the readers to enjoy.Let their ideas run wild, mad, illogical, but form there the writer can built up the essay, prose or fiction.

Another point in a compulsive writer is to write long and thick.They will empty the ink in the pen upto the last drop, and then fill up a number of times, writing,writing,writing.But,sadly, the taste of the pudding will only be in the last few pages of the book.And, when the writer does finish writing the entie book,he will congratulate himself on acheiving a milestone!Whew!
