Kissing the Demon - Book Review

There are numerous books written on creative writing. But all of them are written by foreign authors with references to foreign novels. There is nothing written by an Indian to help the upcoming authors hone their skills. Kissing the Demon by Amrita Kumar fills this void on the Indian literary scene.

To plot or not to plot is an eternal dilemma for every author. This book answers this question. It has a section devoted to creating the unforgettable characters. Point of view is also discussed in detail. I really liked the tips offered by the author for writing dialogues. The way she tells us to incorporate the story in the settings is bound to help every author.

A book written is a job only half done. Editing and finding a publisher continue to be a nightmare for every author. The book deals with these aspects as well.

This isn’t a book, it is a course in creative writing. Hence this book is highly recommended.

  1. It’s amazing how internet slang and pop culture evolve—especially with phrases like snowball kiss gaining traction lately. I saw it mentioned in a TikTok comment and had no idea what people were referring to. Naturally, I searched for more info and found an article that laid it all out without being too graphic or vague. The explanation was straightforward and helpful, especially for people unfamiliar with niche slang terms. Whether you’re just curious or saw it used in a viral video, understanding what snowball kiss means can help you keep up with conversations without feeling left out.

  2. I’ve always enjoyed Shane Gillis's comedy, so naturally I got curious about his personal life, especially who he’s dating. A lot of fans have been asking about the identity of shane gillis girlfriend, and I finally came across a page that gives some updated info. It’s interesting how private he’s managed to stay despite being in the public eye. If you’re a fan and want a bit of background on his rumored relationship status or recent sightings, that post does a good job of explaining it without being invasive. Definitely worth checking out for curious followers like me.
