And what drives our happiness these days is no. of likes we get on our so-called, "pretending to be happy" pictures.  Do we flaunt our fears and failures, like happiness and success? If no, why? Aren't t...

Being a writer, I can literally tell what this world expects out of us. Some expectations are true but many are truly false. The writer is always over-burden with the expectation and trusts me,we don't have any less responsibility. Here I've listed a few myths surrounding me as a writer. Writers- don't get scared, they are not real. We know Everything - We are always overestimated when it comes to knowledge. Writers are not omniscient, we studied the same course as you did.

We are WordBook - Writers are not born with grammar book and spellchecker. We can also go wrong in grammar and we also need ...
