Hello! How are you all? Some of you probably remember me. Many of you may not. For those who don't - I am the author of Dil Jaanta Hai. I took a longish break from writing. Almost a year. I have just recently started writing again. And one of the projects I am super keen to start work on is - The Spark Tales. It will be a series of stories inspired by real life incidents, or very brief moments in time that I witnessed and it gave birth to an idea. I have the shell of a few ideas in my head, nothing is written down yet (fair warning). Which means - I can give you no hard dates as to when I will start publishing the stories here. However, I do intend to write them and post them, both in my blog and here. And I am making this public declaration to basically force myself to sit down and - write! đ So, what are these stories going to be about? Well, like I said, each one is inspired by a real life incident. Either something I witnessed. Or something I read about or heard about. A slice of life, in a couple of cases, barely more than a few minutes in real time, that sparked an idea that brewed and brewed, till it became a story in itself. (And hence - "Spark" Tales).
The Spark Tales will be as follows:
Bus Stop: She is a crossing guard at a school every morning. He comes every morning to drop his daughter to school. Both are scarred by life. But - they are adults. Adept at dealing with life's disappointments, even tragedies. But what about the little girl?
Choices: Inspired by more than one incident that I was distraught to hear about. The story is a reminder that we ALWAYS have a choice. As long as there is life, there is a choice. And what we choose, helps guide our life. Never ever think you are helpless, without a choice. For if you look hard enough, you will find another way. Star: Two super successful people, from two completely different walks of life. One lives in the hearts of millions. One makes those lives more livable. A brief, very brief, take on their own life.
As I said, I have started writing again. And over the next few weeks and months, I will post each one of the above Spark Tales here. No guarantees of when; but Kat's promise to you that you will get these stories.
Let me know your thoughts of these sneak peeks. Hope to hear from you all.
Love ya!
All the very best. And till next time,
Kat
