Congratulations on the first (of many) anniversaries, Karthik! A lot of what you've written felt very familiar. I suppose it's the experience of most of us amateurs writing and powering each other here. :)
Thanks so much, Rohan! I've learnt a lot from reading you. I had absolutely no idea until I took those workshops that it would help to write together. It's been a lot of fun writing together! :)
Congratulations on the first year anniversary. And oh God! You have honestly captured entire feeling in your writing about writing I can relate to it so much.
Always inspired by your work on Substack, Karthik. Thank you for writing and sharing. For writing fiction, writing about work, writing like fathers and friends. <3
You made my Monday better! Cherished letters exchanged with family and friends, along with friends who motivate you to express yourself, are simple joys that make life so beautiful. Thank you for showing me beauty today!
Hi Aditi, thank you for your thoughtful responses. They mean so much! Attention is really a higher form of love. Not everyone is able to give that. For our friends to understand us, to think deeply about our dreams, to offer encouraging words, to get a little pushy and get us going - that's love 💖
This was beautiful, Karthik. The letters, the kids playing, and the experience of becoming a writer. Happy Anniversary!
Thank you so much, Priya! It's been a joyride reading and writing together :)
