The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  How is November treating you so far?  My days are a blur of writing, NaNoWriMo are going well. I have written some 20 pages of my novel so far and mapped out some important plot points. It's going good.  Reading has been decidedly slow. Like I knew it would be. No complaints there. I am more than happy to focus on my book and not on reading.  Other than that, it's been bleak, my building is doing some very noisy repairs and it's hell. I just can't with the dust and the noise and everything else that comes with construction. I am seriously considering running away. for real, just pack my bags and run away somewhere.  UGH.  Working on my book.  This brings me so much joy.  I try to write everyday but I don't force myself.  I take days off when I feel like it.  Then I write like a maniac on other days.  Basically, I do what works for me.  A sun-kissed bag and brooch moment.  The bag is from this shop calle...

  Hello Loves!  Can you even believe November is here?  November always feels like it's time to wind down and rest and get ready for the slower and brighter months of the year. We prepare for Diwali and get our homes in order and then celebrate the festival of lights.  I am always happy when November rolls around. It's always a month for joy and love. It's my sister's birthday and we try to do little things we enjoy all month long.  Eat good food.  Go to her favourite places.  Watch her favourite films.  Read some good books.  I am so happy November is here again.  This November I am participating in NaNoWriMo. Which is a month long writing challenge, the goal is to write a novel in a month. Now it could be something you are already working on or it could be an entirely new thing. I do have some half-written projects that I could work on but I am choosing to focus something new and flesh out and work on an idea that I've had since 2021. ...

Ring and the setting sun.  A city of lights.  Some favourite stationery bits.  A glimpse into my sister's dori and a happy mail day!  Bag loving.  This bag is from Jaypore.  Cactus on cactus.  The pouch is from Cyahi. The cactus bag charm is from H&M.  Hello!  Hope your week is off to a good start.  Mine was a slow one. After a weekend of writing my butt off I've taken today a little slow.  I am currently 15,300 words into my NaNoWriMo project and I am so happy.  I don't think I will finish my book by month end but I am more than happy to have made a big dent in my book and just to be writing again. I will write well into December and hopefully have my book finished by December 31st.  That way I will have a book done by the end of 2017.  :)

Hello November!  November is for... My Sister's Birthday!  For Winter's Gentleness!  For Reading Classics!  &  For me personally, this November will also include writing my butt off!  For the first time ever, I am participating in NaNoWriMo!!!!!  I've been meaning to participate for years, but I usually remember about it a few days into November and hence don't join in. But this year around the 30th of October a conversation with my sister's friend and business partner got me thinking about participating and trying my level best to write an entire novel in November.  I have been writing story ideas and making notes on several stories all of last year. This year, to be honest my writing has been less than stellar. Meaning I really haven't written anything at all!  That sucks. It really, really reeks of bad form!  So why not attempt to get some writing done and make sure that 2017 is not a dismal ...
