Its the 11th day of 2015 and this is my 5th post. If I continue to go at this rate, I think my goal of 250K words will happen. Of course I know that all the words need to take me close to a destination. Destination being – #trss and two more full-length books. By the end of 2015.
Let me talk about them here.
1. #trss
This will be similar to #tnks. I dont know the shape it will take. But this will be published by Grapevine, assuming the team at Grapevine likes what I write.
2. 12×12
I am attempting to write 12 love stories in 12 months. Short stories. Each a fan-fiction to the greatest love stories I’ve read. It’s an initiative by Radhika, who I met on Wrimo India FB group. I dont know if you can still participate in 12 x 12 but may be check this page for more details. I even know what I am going to call it. Dear #sgMS. What else 🙂
P.S.: Last I heard, sgMS is getting married. That means whatever little hopes I had of reconciliation, they’re all gone. Unless I turn into a murderer and kill the lucky man. But then why plunge her into sadness. More on this at some point in time in future. May be when I am ready to kill myself?
3. Third
This is slightly tricky. I want to write on travel. And on stories that people encounter when they travel. Like 12×12, this will be a collection of sorts. But of essays rather than stories. Observations rather than lesson in history. Again, I dont have a structure in my mind right now. But once I am free from the rigmarole of a clock that I need to punch in at 10, I shall work on this.
In the meanwhile, please do read #tnks and do let me know how can I improve what I write. I am very happy with the response that I’ve got. I know, I know. It’s far from making me rich. But it does make me happy every time I spot my book amongst a pile of books, at my home. The book is still not available at bookstores. I dont know why. The publisher is assuring me that it’s doing everything that he can to make it available. But it’s not.
Any answers anyone?
