Hello again, and thanks for the commenting tip, I'll try again next time.
I do not speak Tamil, except for a few random words like "crazy" and "snake." My husband's family speaks a mix of Tamil and Telugu, so I'm not sure which to study first. Probably Tamil, since it would be useful throughout the region we're most likely to visit. I'd love to learn Hindi, too, though.
By the way, are you finding that writing for sites like Suite 101 is worth your while monetarily? I'm assuming that the exposure is more attractive than the compensation, and generally having a hard time figuring out if I should start writing for sites that work that way, or go the route of pitching articles to major publications. So many questions...
I am an American married to a Tamilian, living in the Midwestern U.S., so I was thrilled to see an Indian woman on here.
I love the clarity and practicality of your blog, and would leave a comment if I could, but I didn't see a place to do so. So instead I signed up as a follower.
I have two blogs: marriedtothemasala.blogspot.com, about the mix of cultures in my house and the U.S., and buildingsandskies.blogspot.com, which I created as a home for my photos of those two things.
Oh, I am sorry to hear that. I have seen writers from all over on there. I wonder why it didn't let you in. Maybe its something they are still working out.
Hi Prerna,
I saw your blog on the Mom Writers Lit. Mag. page and checked it out. You have some good stuff up there. (especially love the photo of the car boots) I was wondering if you have ever done any writing for Helium. It may interest you to check it out. :)
My father's death opened the closet of horrible memories and I began to write "ugly" as I called it then. I began to reach for some honesty in my writing as I went through three years of frequent flashbacks--not of HIM, but of another…
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…
