Writers Deceit

Its not just how good a writer you are. What you write about matters more. Controversial works are now a favorite among the readers. Actually, it all comes down to publicity of the book. Readers love to read books which come in the news; doesn’t matter for good or bad. For example, let’s take Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. Not many had really noticed the book until the entire controversy about the Catholic Church came up, challenging the entire Vatican. So the moral of the story is to write about topics that are highly debatable.

More recently Kavyaa Viswanathan’s How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got A Life is another book that achieved fame due to the controversy around it. The book apparently was plagiarized from other notable authors. When the book originally came out in the market, the response was apathetic. Now that since book has been removed from the bookstores, it has become surprisingly a best seller. Kavyaa might have lost her originality and reputation, but she sure has gained fame. So moral number two, its okay to plagiarize as long as you want to get fame alone. Kavyaa’s dreams have ended in disaster; we just have to hope that the people give her a second chance. The next book that she comes out with is surely going to be a bestseller, whether or not it is good. This writers deceit has worked perfectly in getting books sold and its going to stay a while longer and that alone I can assure.
