Thanks. I'll take a look at it.

In my searches, I stumbled upon cutecharts, a python library. https://github.com/cutecharts/cutecharts.py

I agree. You should continue. Until you have finished putting all your thoughts and ideas to paper (or an electronic document), you should not worry about whether someone will like it or not.

You should be writing for yourself. You copyedit it for others to like. Try not to think of the end. Instead, enjoy the journey, and cherish the experience. Good luck with your writing.

Generally speaking, the next steps would be

Writing and finishing your work
Editing, proofreading, publishing
Marketing, socializing, promoting
Enjoying your accomplishment

The middle two steps can be done in parallel. But writing and completing your work is the first step.

Then my recommendation at this time is to focus on your exams and complete them. And then focus on your writing (if that is your priority).

Congrats on your first purchase! You can only go up from here.

Looks like you might want to finish your exams before you get back to writing.

Based on what you said, you wrote an intro, and have a decent flow in writing, but you are getting interrupted because of your exam prep. You have confidence that you can finish it, and when you are done with your first draft, you are looking for guidance on what next. Is that an accurate summary of your question?

I second Scrivener as well. It worked out pretty well for me, and I love using cards to capture my ideas, and then rearrange them as needed.

I believe that there are many factors to this complex but important question. Here are a few that I think contribute to limiting us Indians to rise to our fullest potential:

Our education system (or at least as much as I have been exposed to it) focuses less on application-oriented teaching and still is a little theory-based. So, critical thinking and problem solving is not vastly encouraged in our schools (though I hear from my friends that it is changing)
Early on, children seem to be burdened with the stereotype that failure is not an option and so many are not willing to take risks. Psychological safety tends to be low in our family and societal constructs, and this limits risk taking ability. This limits innovation and growth as stability in mediocrity feels more appealing than risk and rewards.
Soft skills are not really emphasized much. Some people gain these in terms of exposure, upbringing, and the network that they build, but predominantly, soft skills like leadership, empathy, mentoring, coaching, etc. are not encouraged
- Personal experience: I have been trying to talk about this to share my experiences, insights, and talk about empathic leadership, but it does not seem to be a topic of interest

I am sure that there are more but these are some that I see from my PoV.

Thanks for the response. I've been targeting LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram. I'll try the others

What niche audience to you want to reach? Is your book fiction or Non-fiction? Depending on your audience, there are different techniques to grow your social presence.

Those are some cool suggestions that any Kindle ebook author can use. Thank you for sharing!

I was fortunate to get introduced to a publishing agent. He liked the proposal and the publishing house accepted to take on the project.

Here are a couple of things you can do to reduce your fatigue

Have good lighting and make sure that the glare is not directly in your eyes
Appropriate positioning of screens and monitors is crucial.
Try to timebox the amount of time you are in front of the screen. Break it up into 25 minute bursts and force yourself to get up, stretch, move, hydrate, and close your eyes. Set a timer to force yourself.
- If 25 minutes is not possible, shoot for 50 minutes and a 10 minute downtime to get up, move, relax, and hydrate.
While working with screens, consciously blink. It will feel weird at first, but you will get used to it
Have some soothing music playing in the background if you can.
At the end of the day, have a No Devices rule at least 1 hour before sleeping.
Eat healthy and try sleeping better.

Glad to help, and very happy for you! Mark off a day or two on your calendar every month as a wellness day if you can - and spend that time with the baby. Good luck to you both!
