Zephyra

Zephyra! Oh my Zephyra!

Can't tell you what it took to reach here.
It was a tiny two page story based on a fancy I had two years back and now it blew up into huge story. Never wrote a story this big till date. And I am afraid I might have dragged a little too much and made the story boring. But, honestly, most of it is patched up from bouts of spontaneity. I have put the entire story in one page.

In the end the only chapter I liked in the novel is the chapter titled Vanitha. But please be generous with your comments, suggestions and complaints. It probably needs more editing, especially because I have totally screwed up the tenses. But I am tired now. Some other time, perhaps.

some announcements

I decided to put whole stories and poems and other whole works here and move my other muses and the rest of the material to another blog, the link to which you will find under My Journal in the side.

And I am also planning to add another blog where in I plan to re-tell stories: mostly mythologies and legends. Its more of an attempt to gather those stories than to express my talents in re-telling.

Of course all this will take some time... meanwhile I put a story that I wrote long time back and edited now. I wonder (painfully) if editing made it better or worse!

nja!

Well.. we (me and Raven) have a special entry today. This is not an extract from a story. Its an extract from lyrics for Ani DiFranco's Grey.. the song that I, sort of, identify myself with.

.....
I smoke and I drink and
Every time I blink
I have a tiny dream.
But as bad as I am
I'm proud of the fact
That I'm worse than I seem.
What kind of paradise am I looking for?
I've got everything I want and still I want more.
Maybe some tiny shiny key will wash up on the shore.

Its that tiny shiny key that might wash up on the shore... What kind of paradise am I looking for?
