I don't remember the name of my favorite doll 
          I don't remember if I liked Tom and Jerry better than Donald Duck
          But I remember that my favorite Disney princess was Rapunzel 
          I wanted my hair just like her 
          I had my hair just like her 
           I've seen my older photos in which my hair ran below my waist 
          Like a staircase of waves
          But the next photos in my photo album were of me with no hair and me crying, 
          my chin pushed up in a defeated protest of my teary eyes 
          It brings back sad memories of boy cuts 
          and being pushed into the boys' line 
          and being interrogated like a criminal by the teachers, asking me if I was a boy or a girl
          My short curls at the brim of my forehead would stand up in a riot 
          even when they were tied into a ponytail or a pigtail or by clips,
          giving me the look of a girl who got struck by lightning  
          who was then offered to play the role of a standing tree in a school play by the class' meanest girl-
          perfect role for the curls with no purpose to add 
          Just like a tree with no purpose in a school play but to stand
          Incapable. Uncharacteristic. Boring.  
          Now when I ask my parents why they cut my curls
          they would tell me 
          what a trouble my curls were 
          I'm not a kid anymore. I'm a lady 
          and instead of being told to play a standing tree, 
          now I write my own stories, 
          

NaNoWriMo - Day 3 and 4
          
          Today's Day 4 but let me tell you why there was no update on Day 3. It was a fine day yesterday and all I did was write. You know it was one of those days when I was in the feels and every single word that I had written was just.... *perfection* if I say so myself. After I finished writing I saved the document and left it.
          
          However, when I came back... *drum roll* it was *gone *
          I don't know what happened. But all I know was that I had to rewrite the whole thing again. I was literally in tears when I couldn't recover what I had written. It hurt me more than anything. 
          
          Like yes, a breakup would hurt. Yes, your crush leaving you at seen would hurt. But you know what hurts more than that? You writing pure good stuff that you just know in your heart that you will not have to edit out later because it's just that good and then lose it all because your word document is a stupid little jerk.
          
           Like that shit hurt me almost as much as the thought of One Direction never ever reuniting again <\3
          
          So yes, please, keep a backup 
          
          I'm gonna write some more today. I hope that doesn't get deleted : )
          
           Thanks for reading my sob story! Wishing you all a good writing/reading day ❤

HAPPY NaNoWriMo November to all! 
          
          Day 1 
          
          For all those who don't know, NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month. Most writers try to finish a complete novel in just 30 days- start to finish. So, this November even I'll be participating in the NaNoWriMo. 
          
          I'm going to write a One Direction fanfic since it's been a while. It's called Something Great (named after the 1D song Something Great, obviously)
          
          The story is about a 1D fan who loves living in her own head, absentmindedly daydreaming. When her boyfriend dumps her because, and I quote, "she lives too much in fiction", she feels offended. She wants to show her (ex) boyfriend and the world, in general, how much fiction and One Direction impact her life in the hope that someday they would understand and maybe even like books and 1D like her!  So, she sets down to write another book on One Direction. 
          
          What she never imagined will happen was what will she do if her characters came alive into reality? Will her characters be able to show the world the power fiction holds? Or will the world be proven correct in knowing that reality always wins?
          
          I've already plotted most of the story. I just have a few details to figure out which ill do today and then from tomorrow ill start drafting!
          
          Wish me luck
          
          Are you participating in NaNoWriMo?  
          
          Ps. Harry's House is on hold till the end of this month because obviously im focusing on the Nanowrimo book.

This is my last poem about you
          This is the last time I'll talk about how I met you
          And how our eyes met from across the room
          This is the last time I will say that every moment with you
           was like in the movies. Everything else blurred except for you. 
          This is the last time I'll mention how your friends teased you 
          because of me when you were showing me around the campus because I was new
          This is the last time I'm gonna remember how you would look
          at me when I was too zoned out in the plot of a book
          And how when my friends told me you were still staring my way
          I would try and fail 
          to hide my blush before I finally look away
          This is the last time I am going to talk about how you would
           send me your road trip videos when I was feeling blue
          This is the last time I am going to confess
          to myself that I liked it 
          when you used to scold me to get out of my house and travel someplace new. 
          This is the last time I will pretend 
          that you were interested and had meant 
           all the times when you asked me if I was single 
          This is the last time I will miss you
          telling me that I overthink everything and that I am crazy just a little bit
          This is the last time I am going to put the candid photo of me laughing 
          as my profile picture because you told me I looked cute in it. 
          This is the last time I'm going to watch Yeh Jawani hai Deewani
          and remember you as Bunny
          This is the last time I'm going to listen to romantic songs and think of you and me
          Because now when I listen to love songs like these
          It makes me think of how different you would be 
          in love with her and not me. 
          This is the last time I will wonder
           if you are the one who acts cool or like a romantic lover
          This is the last time I will wonder
           if you send her too your videos of road trip adventures
          (Continued)
          

Hello, I have a new read for you.
          
          https://www.wattpad.com/story/321771618?utm_source=android&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details_button&wp_uname=shivangistories21&wp_originator=qvtHnCKezElmsqbHxCvwKYtARzQ%2Fo6L2Lr2ZrphC6sbP1yNc0uRZy6xG1BhajUwxtDoMrDpiK4D7cMP8CAP%2BBDoUEFhuKTQaLZr6bbFGGY4PWj4M%2FKtpl4tOuTUTY2kC
          
          What if the album Harry's House was not an album but an actual book written by an author? 
          
           I've published a new short fic. It has been sitting in my drafts for many months now. Ever since Harry's new album came out there's a story weaving inside my head that binds all the songs together and I got an idea of this book. 
          
           I really hope you like it. You can read it on wattpad for free

Trigger Warning: Rape, Sexual Assault
          
          My dear guy best friend
          Sorry I couldn't meet you yesterday
          It was already dark out
          and my parents wanted me to stay
          I don't know if you saw the news
          Another girl was raped
          and they said "Shame!"
          Indeed, such a shame
          isn't it, that we live in a society where the victim is blamed?
          They shush her to save their honour and name
          I know because I have a friend
          who still feels guilty when she shares her pain
          She was assaulted when she was 5 years of age
          And was stripped off of her clothes 
          in the boy's washroom by her guy best friend and classmate
          There's a girl that hates Kanjak poojas
          because when she was 7, her friend who was only a year older than her in age
          had forced her in the name of a game
          Traumatised, forgetting about it 
          was the only way
           to make her feel safe again
          It was her friend who did that!
          Reports say
          Assaults are commonly committed by a familiar face
          You wouldn't know 
          You only read about it on the newspaper and Instagram rant pages
          But many wake up with the fear of being chased, raped, 
          and not returning home safe
          even with the protection of a pepper spray
          Anyway, I have got to say
          that I don't like your friend 
          The other day when he made a joke about rape
          I saw you laughing. Was it funny?
          My dear guy best friend
          I trust you too much it seems
          Anyway, I won't be able to meet you again today
          It's kanjak pooja 
          and my memory is not great 
          But I remember some things now
          That I wish I could forget again
          But if I did I wouldn't have been able to share
          this with you and you wouldn't have been aware
          that I don't feel safe with anyone
          and I'm always internally debating
          if I can trust a boy again
          But I trust you and I feel safe with you
          So I hope nothing changes that
          I'll meet you tomorrow
          Hopefully when it will be safe
          Even in the dark.
