After Wattys 2016

phase 4: surviving

There are three kinds of people in this world.

1. When faced with difficulties, they blame the world for their failure and give up.

2. When faced with difficulties,  they decide that they are just not good enough and give up.

3. This type is my favourite. When they are faced with difficulties, they push harder, work longer, stand taller and make the best of everything.

I fall into the third catagory. I know, I'm bragging but I have proven to myself again and again that I can survive.

I flunked in 8th grade final exam, I had to study all summer long to reappear in it again. My uncle made fun of me but I took it lightly. 9th grade is matriculation part 1 in my part of the world and I scored 66% in it. Same uncle decided to tease me mercilessly. I decided that I would show him.

7 years later, I'm in the last year of bds. Soon I'll be a dental surgen. I also have a good looking man by my side and my adorable baby boy. Life is tough but I made it, I showed him.

Back to the wattys. I am such a busy person with medical school and a family. I work hard on my books, I try to update on time. Despite the small following, I try hard to please my readers. Is a wattys award that important? Am I writing for myself or a watty? If I stop writing, what will happen to all those stories in my head?

I know I want to share my stories, I don't care if only 2 people read them. I am doing this for myself and small group of my readers. I don't want a watty. It's nothing but an award based on statistics. I want recognition for my work.

I know there's an awesome storyteller in you. Just keep on writing those books until you get the recognition you deserve and for the sake of all that is holy, do not remove your stories.
