You might be wondering if I have abandoned the idea of writing as I haven't updated my blog for over a month now. Quite the opposite really. I have been writing continuously, though not on the blog.
I have had a plot for a fiction for quite some time now so I finally decided to write; the name of this post is actually the name of the novel - Squirrels and Rats; ambiguous enough to keep the audience guessing, which adds to the suspense in the book. The book is almost complete now [over 250 pages] and I am going through the draft to catch frivolous grammatical errors but I make no claims that I will be able to exterminate all, which leads to my next quest: search for an editor. And then I will face the plight that zillions of authors have; finding a literary agent to get the book published. Whatever the outcome might be, I confess that I enjoyed every moment of writing it and sincerely hope the readers like it too...
I will post the first chapter of the same after editing to see if it is even half as exciting as I think it is. [Although a few friends that have read some parts of it have given a positive feedback]

You really ought to ask Rana to be chief editor. I'd be too demoralised to ask Rana to edit anything I did but that's because I know he'd be thorough and correct everything. :)
