MY JOURNEY

MY JOURNEY

My writing journey started in the year 2013! Just like any other writer, I also had many ups and downs to face. I started my career by writing essays in my school. I always used to get 100% on my essays! Slowly I began writing my draft of the first chapter of my first ever story on a platform called “Wattpad''. On June 23, 2014, I published my first chapter. From the moment I published, I used to check how many likes and views it received every day. To be honest, at that time I never thought I would get more than 10 likes. But to my surprise, my story received a view of 3.6k with 68 votes and 22 comments. The rank of my story kept on escalating with the increasing number of votes each day. The readers thoroughly enjoyed my captivating write-up. But a few months into the writing I stopped working on the story due to some personal reasons. To my surprise, my inboxes were flooded with continuous requests for updates of the same old story. As time passed, the readers kept on increasing in leaps and bounds.


 On September 25, 2020, I received a grand surprise. My story was no.1 in the Wattpad rank!!!!! As soon as my story hit the first rank, I started receiving numerous offers for becoming a co-author in anthologies. But the one offer which caught my eyes was from a famous author called “B Talekar ''. I received an offer from her on “October 14, 2020, to participate in her anthology called “When The Dark Falls''. I was launched as an author for the first time on December 25, 2020. Ever since then I have participated in 40+ anthologies out of which 12 have been published so far. After participating in anthologies, I began my journey in the writing challenge groups. (I do not want to miss any names so I did not want to take specific names) I have been part of many writing challenge groups, and through these groups, I have had the honor to meet many special people in my life! These groups not only helped me improve my writing but also helped me better myself! After many months, I got the honor to be promoted to the core team of the writing groups! At that moment, I felt so blessed and also started believing that I am on the right path to pursue my dreams! Throughout this time many people kept approaching me for compiling my own anthology! But at that moment I did not feel that I had what it takes to compile my own anthology! Finally, on July 25, 2021, I agreed to compile my first own anthology called “Ladders Of Love” alongside my co-author (Yara) Khushi Karan!


Many people feel that on their first anthology as a compiler it will be hard and the co-authors will be rude, but all my 52 co-authors were very patient and supportive! Without the support of the co-compiler and co-authors, it would not have been possible to finish the submissions in 28 days! Alongside this anthology, I was also compiling “A Step Ahead To Achieve Success” anthology with my other co-compiler (bestie) Gunwanti. Thanks to my lovely and supportive 50 co-authors and co-compiler I was able to finish the anthology in 53 days! I never imagined that I would be able to finish my first 2 anthologies as a compiler in such a short time! I want to take this time to give a huge thanks to “Inkzoid Publications & Spread The Ink Publications' ' for helping me out in each and every step of the way of compiling!


THERE IS NO BOUND TO MY HAPPINESS RIGHT NOW 😍🥰🤩☺️ I ALWAYS DREAMT OF HAVING MY OWN WRITING COMMUNITY AND FINALLY THAT DREAM CAME TRUE ALL THANKS TO BISWAJITA, DHRUV BHAIYA, SIDDHARTH MISHRA, AND INKZOID TEAM! I AM THE FOUNDER OF IBADAT-E-KALAM WRITING COMMUNITY ALONG WITH SIDDHARTH AS THE CO-FOUNDER! I AM SO MUCH BLESSED 🥰 LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED INKZOID SHINING STAR AWARD IN THE CATEGORY OF “THE BEST WRITER OF THE YEAR 2022”!
