When it comes to writing fiction, everyone has a different opinion on how to go about it. Having read a lot on the subject, I still reckon it is best to react to one's gut feeling. At least that is something I have always been doing. Can't say, how much I have succeeded as my first book did only mediocre business if sales is the only indication to go by( as per my publisher), but I still feel that by sticking to what you are possessive about, you have a more reasonable chance to chisel your skills. In other words, you choose, consciously, to stick to originality and that is what ultimately sells.
I was going through what others have to say on the subject, but I think I can summarize what I feel, as follows:
Intrigue, surprise and delight are the three pillars that provide a sturdy platform on which any fiction writing can comfortable balance. That is my take on the subject; just to share my idea about the method.

Hi d sinner!
I agree. Originality, like I always have been insisting, is the key.
Thanks for bringing the Shimla coolness in the blog.
Awesome! U have a book in your name? Amazing! I have a dream to write a book someday. Sadly, know no publishers yet. Any guidance on how to go about it?
Wow! so true.. i believe in going by the gut as well. Only when I do that does what I write turn out kinda well rounded...
