I completed 50+ parts of Sharma Verma yesterday. I feel sooooooo good. Well, I successfully completed the Pratilipi Fellowship Writing Challenge 2.0..
I have got 580+ reads so far, and 175+ ratings, all 5★s. This was the first time, I continued writing with an aim. Earlier, writing fiction was somewhere in the corner of my mind waiting for 'ONE DAY', but that one day never came..
UNTIL July 2023, after my third attempt and facing brutal failure. Haha! Its gone, no? It took me a year to get over the shock, I got two years ago..
I think, taking up this challenge after 'Short Story' competition, helped me a lot. I had learnt a lot and improved too, I suppose, in case of writing skills. I feel happy when I get a follower, and even overwhelmed when someday I get a review, telling that they liked my work..
I have been more drawn towards studying and trying to stay happy, from the day, I started writing and gaining views. Yeah! They are just 1100 in total but still I feel like they are the fruit of the seed I sow whenever I type for the next part..
A lot have been going on, and a lot might be there to come, but now that I started this series, and successfully published it till 50+ parts, I will continue to write..
Last two years of preparation with total studies and minimum workouts, writings, cricket, and audio books, changed me into a boring, depressive person. And I do regret cornering them, because the thing for which I cornered them wasn't even fruitful, I still lost the competition, no?
So this time, the last time, I would not just study but also BE ME. I won't just keep myself dumped in books and learning, but also find myself, the one, I used to be in school times..a bit happy, optimistic and bindass! 😂😊
