Dear Julie,
I feel I owe it to you. Till last month, I had been quite upset with you. You know, being a writer, what queer fellas we writers are. I expected you to mention me somewhere at least after I had finished writing a story a day in the month of May, 2022 – 31 stories altogether!
But you didn’t. You preferred talking about all those illustrious names while I was hurting internally. I had no control over the evil thoughts going through my mind at such times.
Things changed last month when I needed to refer to one of my previous stories. Not being a very organized person, I had to take help from your StoryADay site. And when I found my printed story, I realised how unfairly, unjustly I have treated you all these months.
Forgive me, Julie, for my ignorance. I don’t know if I will be able to put pen to paper in the way I used to as I have recently joined St. Xavier’s Public School as the Principal, and life has been quite hectic. But I will keep contributing to some of the contests, if you will only allow me.
Please keep me informed about all your new plans and programs. God bless a good soul like you. Keep inspiring and impacting the lives of people like me.
With all the very best wishes …..
I’m so sorry I neglected you! I loved your persistence last year.
No harm done. We writers are all sensitive folks!!
Hello! It’s been a minute since I’ve been here, so let’s get to it.
Last month, I dropped a few exchanges but wrote a lot for myself, which was honestly way more fun.
This month, I’m writing mostly for myself, with two fics of mine to finish that I’ve put off for quite some time, plus a smattering of exchanges.
You are an inspiration!
