Recently I read somewhere that being a writer is not an easy
task. To put into words the thoughts, emotions, and feelings of various
characters take a lot of dedication and focus.
Each story and every character in that story plays an important role and
is very dear to the writer. People often dissect the story and characters to
their moods and understanding but as a writer, each story, and character is
close to the heart.
Some may instantly fall in love with your story, few of the
readers may relate to a part of the character in the story and few would not
like it. It all depends on how much a person can relate to it or not. Relating
is a minor part it also depends on the situation a particular reader is in or
have been. You never know how your story is going to be perceived by the end of
it.
As a writer, it amazes me to come across the varied point of
view about the story. Sometimes it brings a smile on my face when a reader
concludes the story the way I want it to be. Rest of the time I am stunned by theirs
conclusions. These are the reviews which leave me spellbound and yearning for
more. Never thought the story would make a permanent place in the reader's
heart.
As a storyteller, I am often asked is the story real.
Frankly, I am still struggling to answer this question correctly. Yes, the
story took place in my mind, generated observing people around and written
carefully keeping in mind the character's feeling and emotions. Would it be
right to say it is real from the writer's point of view or place the credit to
the fictional part? The irony is if I confirm it is real the reader compares
the female protagonist to the writer, thereby losing the essence of the
character. Leaving me confused, struggling, and baffled for the right answer.
As an author, I urge my reader's to identify the characters
as an individual, be in sync with their struggle and love them for who they
are. Honestly, that would be my stepping stone to success. Every story is part
true, a part we dream about and a part we have experienced. I believe, as
humans, we all go through similar experiences, heartbreaks and have somewhat
similar dreams to achieve. As a writer, storyteller, and author I want to put
those experiences into words, do my best to emote the right expression and make you fall in
love all over again. I think and believe, in coming years if I manage to do
that I would call myself as a successful author. If not, I would urge my
reader's to bring out the best in me.
I conclude by saying, it is not an easy job but the job where I get a chance to create hope, fulfill them through telling stories and urge the reader's to dream with the characters. I feel nothing compares
the feeling of getting lost in a beautiful story and giving the characters a place
in your heart forever. I would like to thank the readers for giving my book, Should I..Fall in Love, a
chance and falling in love with the characters. It gives me immense
satisfaction to read your amazing reviews and a certainty that I am fulfilling
my job with sincerity.
