And today it earned 50 more!!! I don't know what this feeling is. But somehow I feel like a proud mom. Afterall they are my creation......
This is how it all started. 2 years ago, I read The Fifty Shades Of Grey novels. Reading Erika's books, changed my life. I felt things I never felt, I learnt words and phrases I never knew existed. It was a magical experience, basking repeatedly in her story and characters.
I'd never discovered such depths in vocabulary and literature before, it took me on a carnal, hilarious, dreamy, witty and lovely journey. The intense chemistry, and plot itself, concerning the dominant and submissive relation was enlightening and exhilarating. Christian and Ana mentally, emotionally and perhaps even physically became a part of me. They still are.
Erika inspired me to a point of madness. I always had these little stories in my head, and 6 months later (After reading the trilogy atleast 3 times), I picked up the pen to write Finding Him & Me.
I didn't have a story in mind, no plot, or defined characters. Just a constant drive and thrill to write. And write. From daily journal entries to bits and pieces for an actual story. I shifted between various time lines and situations. Emotional scenes, sex scenes, fight scenes, conversations, book reviews, food reviews, shopaholic tendencies, (of mine ofcourse😂) dance scenes... Good god.
The more I penned and typed the better I got. Oh and, Jesus.. my obsession with studying the Thesaurus. I would flag pages and mark crazy words and write them on sheets. I'd pick up the dictionary and thesaurus and study them for hours. It was divine. Words are divine. English is a fucking turn on. I swear to god.
I've been an avid Wattpad reader for 4 years now. Having read over 300 books alone on this incredible platform, I finally decided to publish my work. So last October..... I did it. I gave birth to my little sweetheart. My life. Finding Him & Me. Awww🥺🥺🥰🥰❤️😘
Since my writing was scattered and unorganised, publishing it gave me an opportunity to not only improve but also make it rich, defined. And in the past 4 and 1/2 months, my babe has grown so much.
My readers!!! Thank you so much! Each of you splendid humans have a huge space reserved for yourself in my heart. I love you so much! You are my constant inspiration to type out another chapter, make this change here, alter that paragraph there. It's a beautiful feeling to write for myself. But trust me you guys, it's even better to write for you. You make me ecstatic. Every time I refresh my page and check the reads (atleast 20 times a day) and see even 2-3 more, my heart soars high and a bright smile spreads into my face. It's fucking magic. So thank you. Thank you so damn much.
My ballet teacher, Miss Shona. Thank you for teaching me ballet, for making me Cinderella, for the Prince and every little thing in between. You gave rise to my imagination and wings to my story. The only reason Finding Him & Me has a plot is because of that one program and all the effort that went into it, and YOU. I love you to the stars and back❤️❤️
After by Anna Todd. Another gifted writer. What can I say, her series acted like a medicine to my soul. Constantly studying her books.( Yup, studying, since I've read it atleast 6 times) made sure my love for writing and dreaming about love never stopped. Hardin and Tessa motivated me in ways I cannot begin to fathom myself. Thank you imaginator1D .
Lastly, my friends at school for reading and listening to me rave madly about my books to the point of insanity. Thank you so much for not banging my head against the wall and splitting my skull open. I love you more than you know. Hibah, Harnoor, Aishani, Greeshma, Advika, Krithika, Shruthi. My babes. ❤️😘😘.
Mom and dad. Words fail me. You never denied me books. Not even the PG-21 Erotic ones😂, never stopped me from writing, even when I was supposed to be studying for my Final Exams, and never stopped me or got angry for checking the number of reads for the 56th time.. I'm forever indebted to you for yout constant and loving encouragement. And I love you so dearly, it isn't normal. Thank you for making me a cake when FH&M touched 1000 and now, when it touched 2000. Thank you for everything.
I'm gonna complete you baby.
