Can’t Believe It’s Been 3 Years…
It genuinely feels like it was just yesterday-
April 2022, when two 9th graders, me and @pagesandpetals, randomly came up with a wild idea to co-author a book. We started Samyati with a random scene, and an even more random (and pretty common) title: ✨Twist of Time – The Tale of Past✨
We had no clue where it would go, but we just wrote…for the love of it xD
We had no idea what we were doing, The plot made no sense, We just wrote whatever came to mind. But somehow…somehow, we stuck with it. We scrapped scenes, rewrote arcs, and changed the title (thank god!), and built a story that we’re actually proud of. A story that now has a fully fleshed-out plot, perfect characters, twists, depth, and most importantly, our hearts in every line.
And now? We’re in 12th grade. One of us is preparing for NEET, the other for JEE. Life is hectic, expectations are high, time is limited-
But still, we find our way back to Samyati.
To the world we created together.
I still remember the countless times we said “let’s revamp this book” or “wait, this doesn’t make sense” or “I HAVE AN IDEA!!” at 1 a.m. And look at us now-
Still here, Still writing, Still believing in the magic we began three years ago, lol xD
And wanna know something even more interesting?
Two years ago, on the very first anniversary of our book, we posted a tiny sneak peek,
Just a glimpse, of the scene where Anandi meets Arjuna for the first time. Back then, it was all just imagination, just a dreamy possibility we couldn’t wait to write.
And now? That very chapter is finally published, and They finally met!!
And that’s not all, Our Shriya is now married and even has a son. Can you believe it? Our baby had a baby!
Honestly, this whole journey has been magical, And I couldn’t have asked for a better co-author than @pagesandpetals to share it with. We really did this together-
And I’ll cherish it forever.
