This has been an eventful year for me. I write in various formats online and offline but becoming a published author of printed book was always my dream.
Every day I write continuously. Here are few of the writing tasks I do in my everyday routine.

My Daughters Workbook
3 Books in Year 2011
After writing so much throughout my life I always wanted to write a book that adds real value to the publishing world. I wanted to write a book which tremendously helps the community. I am fortunate that I was able to write three various books in the year 2011. I am lucky to write three books which covers various aspect of my favorite technology, SQL Server.

SQL Server Interview Questions and Answers
Today we use computers for various activities, motor vehicles for traveling to places, and mobile phones for conversation. How many of us can claim the invention of the micro-processor, a basic wheel, or the telegraph? Similarly, this book was not written overnight. The journey of this book goes many years back with many individuals to be thanked. Though each of these chapters are geared towards convenience we highly recommend reading each of the sections irrespective of the roles you might be doing since each of the sections have some interesting trivia about working with SQL Server. In the industry the role of accidental DBA’s (especially with SQL Server) is very common. Hence, if you have performed the role of DBA for a short stint and want to brush-up your fundamentals then the upcoming sections will be a great review.

In future blog posts I will dive deeper into these books’ writing experiences.

Hi Pinal,
I like this statement very much,
“I sometimes write the letter ‘A’ hundreds of time to demonstrate how it is written to my daughter. Recently she spotted the letter A in the newspaper and ran to me and proudly demonstrated to me that it is ‘Daddy’s A’. I loved it, I cherish every moment of my life when I am writing with my daughter. I think this is the best time spent.”
