Even now I was reading oysters ...I know its a story long forgotten but I'm yet unable to get that one out of my system ! Every time I read it my breath hitches ...I don't even bother caring bout it coz I'm so immersed in the intensity of that story , especially after part 16 !! 😳😳

Yeah yeah ...I know this is of no help/solution to ur prob but I was just being Honest !!! 😃

Hi Fuzz,

Firstly so so good to see you in forum. 😃 🤗 ❤️

Maybe I can understand to an extent what you feel. Though I think my situation is a bit different mostly. What happens with me a lot is, that I stop feeling anything. Without emotions and feelings, I really cannot write. Maybe tensions of real life, or some other things take toll. I struggle a lot to feel something, or write something, but success rate is very less.

As for connecting to characters, I guess every writer has his/her own way of writing; own way of feeling emotions or connecting to story. It will be tough to tell a common generalised method.

Like for me, when I write, it is therapeutic for me. I am happiest and at peace when I write. When I write it will be to give myself happiness and satisfaction. It will be the happiness and inspiration from the fact that I created something new, wrote something; or maybe tried something different. Maybe the fact that I am one step closer to the culmination of my dream; to completing a story.

Or if nothing else, It might be my own way to live dreams. Or in case of RagNa: to live RagNa stories in a way I would have liked. Happy, romantic, dramatic, perfect and full of chemistry.It would be a chance for me to live, and feel; and also the happiness I get after I read readers' comments.

I don't know. My update rate is pretty bad. 😆 So I really don't know I should be saying or telling anything to you. 😛 😃 😆 ☺️

Besides, what you can try is, watch RagNa episodes/scenes. Remember the happiness you used to feel when you watched them.

Sometimes I read other stories on Wattpad/Kindle to make myself happy. Because a happy+free me=update. 😆

P.S.: One more thing, many times I have to resort to listening to music side by side as I write. music brings feelings along with it. I have a collection of mostly all versions of Tum Hi Ho, including instrumentals. Plus any other instrumental or other song suiting the mood of update and my mood. 😳 😃😛

Hope some of it helps you. 😊

Love You,

Charu

Oh bless Charu... I wrote so much and it just disappeared. Oh its okay. 😳

I too used to listen to music... From this year I quit music... And am struggling to feel the characters. It is so true, music plays a huge role. Sometimes things just don't click right? Give yourself time and space. Stop stressing n let it come naturally to you. Maybe then music l also return. 😳

I think I need to remember ragna... Probably watch the episodes again... I haven't watched it again... Can still feel the pain of disappointment as the show turned stupid. Watch only Ragna scenes, maybe from Ragna heaven on facebook. No need to torture yourself by watching all episodes.😆

Sweety you update quite often, I always get your email... N every time I tell myself... I need to ask you how you do it. Thanks. ☺️

Feedback is so vital... Totally agree... It is the only thing left as motivation... That the readers are enjoying the story. Yes. 😃

I think I am finding it frustrating... Updates take forever... They do yes! n many times time just isn't enough despite the best tries. When all you want to do is need some time to write n focus on emotions at a stretch.

I like what you said... That you write for yourself... Because it makes you happy. Lately I write because somebody has asked for an update. 🤗

I can write about pain, separation, heartache easily... But when everything is sorted... No tension between them... I don't know what to write. I struggle... And hence I think I give up... I am not good when everything hunky dory. Maybe you are just scared of it? Besides what you write is the best! Language, portrayal, everything! I am sure when you ll write hunky-dory tracks, they ll rock the same. 😃

I think there are several factors that lead to me blanking out on the story.

I shall take your advice and work towards reconnecting with the story.

Hope something works for you. 😃

Mwah,

Lots of love

Fuzz
