My sweet darling! My favourite Authornim.
Congratulations, a very very congratulations.
Today, I write this letter not as a fellow writer, but as a reader. This message comes from a reader of ‘Under the Tamarind Tree’, not from the writer behind my own stories.
UTTT has crossed 400 reads. ✨
And I am so incredibly happy for you.
I am proud of you. Proud of your work. Proud of your courage. Proud of the fact that you chose to share your story with strangers on the internet despite all the doubts that might have accompanied you before posting the first chapter.
Because you have now published your heartfelt words, four hundred people have now found their way beneath the shade of your tamarind tree.
Four hundred reads means your story reached beyond yourself. It means people clicked on your work. They gave your characters a chance. They spent their time in a world you created from nothing but imagination and determination.
As a reader, that feels magical. Trust me!
Your story deserves every read it receives and you, my beloved, deserve every bit of happiness that comes with this milestone.
Thank you for sharing your story with us. ♥️
Thank you for giving your readers characters to care about, moments to cherish, and chapters to look forward to.
And thank you for being brave enough to write.
Congratulations once again, my dear Authornim.
With love and admiration,
A proud reader of Under the Tamarind Tree ♡
