We will talk with Himanshu about his book “My Mute Girlfriend”.

What is the story behind your book. Where did you get your idea for the book?

Story of My Mute Girlfriend is from my college days. Most of the characters and locations are real. Last year I visited Jabalpur and felt nostalgic reaching to the place from where I completed my college. Story evolved from their.

Challenges you faced while writing this book and in your life as an author?

Frankly, I did not found any challenge writing this story, as it was from my own experience of life and events in which I was part in past. It took me some time to agree characters who’s real name and character is used in the story. It was pleasure for me to revisit those time which I had spent with my friends in Jabalpur.

What is your life mantra?

Love what you do. Do what you love and keep smiling.

What is your writing process like?

There is no fixed process. When story is in my head, I live with the characters. While I am writing, I can feel my characters all around me 24×7. Usually I prefer writing in night times.

Anything special about your book that you want to share?

It’s a story based in time when there was no facebook or social media and no mobile. You can feel the love and pain of the generation of that time.

According to you, what are the three qualities an author must have to achieve success?

Firstly, live your story. Secondly, understand your characters. Thirdly, know your marketing points.

What are your plans for next book?

I am in process of writing and would like to commit, it’s a most difficult story I have written till now. It’s a romantic story about a couple who were in relationship for nine long years. Then a twist comes which makes them apart for spaces, although they are still together and loved each other more then anything in this universe.

What advice do you have for young writers?

Write what you feel and do not miss to let your feelings out in words. Best writing will only come if true feelings are on paper.

Share a quote or line that has been your inspiration.

Whatever happened, will happen or happening, is for good. Just wait for result.
