Writing a story…
I wonder when I start this story, how should I begin it? Should I bring in curiosity or switch to diastolic movement of time to picture it for you. Should the characters be as they are or should I change them for the credentials of privacy? Where should I bring in romance, is it this easy to bring in it anyways? Or should it just happen-just like that? Is it this difficult for every other person who narrates a story or writes words to make them into one?
I plan the beginning as unimaginative as it could be. Maybe, a simple exchange of phone numbers in which none was interested, or could it be an unintended festival greeting and later, a phone call in return.
Summers are too hot for anything, you just sweat. Winters get too cold to have warm feelings, rains bring in a flavor but autumn suits them the best. Autumns, when the circle begins and ends, the season in which they meet and depart.
What would the time be like? Would the time fly by when they are with each other, or they’d talk and talk of love and longing. There would be coffees, sighs, cheers, kisses, songs, mischievous ideas etc.
And then the question-how to give them a perfect happy ending?! Anyways, are happy endings for real? Or maybe a twist would do so much better, just one twist and the romance turns bitter, maybe a hideous affair, or some secrets, a lover from the past, or a fight against parents. So many reasons but I still wish somewhere to keep it plain, to keep it happy.
And that all would go into this unwritten story.
A story-a love story, a ‘short’ story!
Or maybe, some stories are as ‘endless’ as this one!
endless stories are always a way to add and subtract what could be and what shouldnt be!
curiosity is the word for the day I think
I did my post on it too
lovely thoughts Neha
That’s a killer one!!…just fantastic.
The curiosity & naughtiness in initial lines..romance in between…and last few lines..I dun have words for that!
Bonita!
an interesting insight to a writer’s mind who’s about to start on a story…….
Nice
I go through this several times. I don’t have a story in my head. But I love writing.
a story which is mine and yours…which is for all, a human story touching chords and forming bonds…write that story!!!
U r good with words and camera
Such dilemmas…but I feel all stories are incomplete and they are better that ways because that leave hope for all
nice post probing the mind of a writer .. when I read a story and if the end is painful I imagine it did start again at some point of time and the end was blissful. when I write one.. I am usually lost… once I start the story writes itself on its own but I’ve been advised by some avid critics in the past ‘to never tell all’ coz you should never underestimate your readers.. btw autumn is my favorite time too .. for stories that is..
Take your pick soon and weave it into a wonderful story for us to read
now that’s what i call a story
@ all
smiles.
cheers!
