Welcome to 'Candid with Deeba' Sanil!

Deeba: At what age did you start writing? Share with us an anecdote.

Sanil: I started young. I started a blog and then I got around the world.

Deeba: Rebound is your 3rd novel, what’s next? At what stage is your next project?

Sanil: There are some projects in the pipeline. You shall hear about them soon.

Deeba: How did you get published? Share with us your journey to publication?

Sanil: It’s a simple story of persistence. I used to send some of my work to various editors and they often sent me their feedback. Some did some didn’t. I took the feedback and always worked on it and sent back for more feedback.

Deeba: What is your writing process and how do you deal with writer’s block?

Sanil: I don’t get writer’s block. There is so much to write about. I always have something to write. I am a travel person. I usually write best while travelling and interacting with new people, experiencing new places.

Deeba: What do you read? Share with us your favourite fiction and non-fiction book. What are you currently reading?

Sanil: I read both, fiction and non-fiction. My personal favourite from recent books I have read is Mitch Albom’s work. He knows how to paint reality through fiction. I’d love to write a book with him too!

Deeba: What is your opinion about our initiative, ‘Young Author Awards’?

Sanil: It is a great initiative. Appreciation and recognition is always a great initiative. I feel this is a perfect platform for the next generation authors.

Deeba: Take us through your normal writing day?

Sanil: I don’t sit at one place and write. I like to make notes and then put them all together later. I don’t write in order. I write as it comes and then put the pieces together. A messy cupboard being organized is the ideal analogy of my process.

Deeba: There is one question that I throw at all my guests, what is your favourite non-alcoholic drink?

Sanil: Mango Juice! There’s a sense of comfort, belonging and a homely feeling each time I take a sip of cold mango juice. Maybe, it stems from being younger and chugging pints of it, although the limit was one glass a day!

Deeba: I read in one of your interviews that you consider yourself a cook, what does cooking mean to you?

Sanil: Oh I love cooking but that doesn’t mean I’m good at it. I love eating, I consider myself better at doing this!

Deeba: What would be your advice to the aspiring authors of ‘The Write Scene,’ who are looking to get published?

Sanil: Persistence is the key. Never give up. Keep going, one step, one action and one word at a time.

Deeba: Can we have your views on our new initiative of ‘Young Author Awards’ to recognize the next generation authors under the age of 30?

Sanil: I’m so glad to see something like this. These are things that will contribute to keep youngsters motivated.
