ASYA OS: Plan Isse Kehte Hain - Page 8

Oh my god, mochhug! Don't even get me started with how they butchered their own storyline. When Tanveer came on the scene everything went to hell. But thanks to Tanveer a fiction writer was born in me. I could'n't bear to see what they did to Asya so I had to re-correct it and I did it through my FF. There I took their story which had so much promise and made it my own - Zoya meant to bring the families together, Asad meant to be her knight in shining armor and ... the rest.

Hey don't give up on your writing. Writing the FF opened up my mind and heart. It's therapy. Find your inspiration and keep finding yourself. I'm lucky to have Asya as my muses. I'm embarrassed to say that I've dedicated too much of my life to them. But they don't let go of me. They keep dragging me by my nose to write about them and their world.

Mochhug, first, I 'm sooo happy that you're reading my FF - that's. my. baby. And it's not done yet! I'm still writing. On ch 124 right now but it may take a few days to publish it. It's ongoing. I can PM you when I post it.

About editing - oh my goodness. I edit a lot. That's why it takes me long between updates. I don't post till I'm really satisfied with it. I encourage readers to let me know about typos or errors so that I can go back and fix them.

About inspiration: you don't only have to draw inspiration from the show. Bring in your other passions. I fell in love with Zoya first. And I could imagine her being this warrior and champion. Many of the issues I've put in the story are my real life passion too. So Zoya isn't just my muse but she's also my online avatar! To show Zoya's childhood, I brought in a bit of my daughter. The Nikhat-Feroze love story? It's a bit of mine. I said no then my husband too showed up to ask: why? And the rest is history! Naz and her love for soaps? Also a combo of my feelings and my friends' discussions.

So basically, inspiration is all around you. Write about things that matter to you. Use your voice. You'll find yourself coming alive in many ways. It'll clarify life for you.

Haha I can see that :p It's so well written and the story is so well thought out and executed. You should be really proud. If you added their initial story in another 20 chapters or so to the beginning, maybe with your own twists, or even just narrating it differently, this could be a bestselling book. Believe me. I love reading, and it's rare for me to read this much in such little time. Only happens when something hooks me. And your story got me. Hook, Line and Sinker.

My readers hate me I'm sure cause I've been awol for about a year 😆 I do have a lot of history and personal experience I can use for sure, but I'm still not sure I want to. I was planning to write a book, but it's hard to bring all that stuff again. I'm trying though, because I feel that if something good can come out it, it'll help me move on and put it further in the past. I don't regret it, but it was hard to come out of.

And you're married!? 😲 That explains the maturity and accurate descriptions of things. I love it! What I love about your Asad and Zoya (and other love stories) is that it's not all just happy, and not all just sad. It's a mix of both, just like life. And your version of Zoya, it just reminds me of that stuff I went through but in a good way. She reminds of a person I knew with her same spirit and ability to work miracles. Probably part of the reason why I am even more in love and hooked on your FF.

I am starting to write again, but so far I'm still making sure it's good enough to publish haha. I'd love your feedback though. I feel like you could help me bring my writing to the level I want it to be at. 😳

Mochhug, I'm sure your readers don't hate you; I'm pretty sure they miss you. And yeah, if you're not comfortable using your personal experience and history you shouldn't. I'm sorry to hear that you've been through some deep stuff. I hope you continue to find strength and kickass role models all your life. I hope all of us do.

As you write don't be your own worst critic. Just be you. You'll be overwhelmed by the support you'll find from unexpected quarters. And your writing doesn't have to be the only way to uplift yourself. If reading does it for you, go for that. I think good fiction can really reach in deep inside of us and shake some things loose. And of course if you want feedback I'm here.

Have you tried journaling? I'm not good about it. But you know my first Asya OS came out of journaling. But you don't just have to talk to yourself about shows or books. It could be anything. And that book you have in your head. Just write. Don't worry about publishing it yet. Just think about expressing - writer for yourself as the audience. May be no one will ever read it. And that's OK. Take care of yourself. Lots of love.

You know, writing my FF introduced me to Rumi, Neruda, boxing 😉, Taekwondo; it re-introduced me to Jhansi ki Rani, Star Wars, superwomen around the world.

Here's some Rumi to light you up.

Hi Klondy!

I finally... finally got the time to really sit for it and read your story. And omg it. was. beautiful. Sooo very intense and smart too! Perfectly written. Only in the last part you reveal that this story plays out after the scene where Asad barges into the Siddiqui Mansion to take his Zoya back home. Only here she refuses to come with him. There is a scenario I never thought about! It would have completely broken him. He would have been devastated for sure. But personally I dont believe he would have stooped this low and actively taken advantage of her like that. But then he again he was always extreemly harsh and strict to her. Only when he is about to really lose her, thst when he realises he can't live without her. Still I feel he is not that kind of person to do all that to the woman he loves. My heart is not ready to believe that haha.

You already know how I feel about your talent. I am familiar with your writing from your megaFF in Asya. Still this story amazed me again. You really made me believe all the emotions of the characters (even Asad). Tbh I got a bit teary (which very rarely happens) when Zoya was crying at Ayaan and Humaira's engagement. Thats so Zoya. Keeping her grief to herself and even convincing herself she deserves it. Sigh..

Anyways I absolutely adored this story. It really shows how much you love Asya. Just like how writing is you therapy, reading your stories on them.. is my therapy. Especially your FF. Thats how everything should have happened. I hope to read more from you soon!

Thank you so much for the pm's

Love!

xoxo
