I’ve decided to write one short story each week for 52 straight weeks. I know this is not easy, but I think it is achievable. I’ve been writing short stories for one year now but not regularly. However, this piece is not what I want to achieve. I like to tell you about an interesting anecdote that happened yesterday.
I was in the mode of
cracking what would be the right end of the story. Suddenly my mother called me
to have dinner. I gave her a reply and then tried to get back into the story
mode again. But I realized that I lost track. I was unable to remember what I
was thinking. Then I started to think of a new ending. I went downstairs to
have dinner while thinking of what would be the right ending. My mother
realized that I was thinking of something else and not concentrating on my
food. She told ‘it seems like you’re not here’.
And when I started writing it, I realized how different the two worlds are- the world of thinking and the world of writing. The moment I started typing the words on a word processor, many new ideas popped up. I realized that to write and finish a story, you have to live with the stories. You start with something on your mind, and you end up somewhere else. You have to build the character, develop the story, and write the dialogues. So many little things but yet so fascinating!
