Well, a manuscript to be precise. It never got published. I got rejected by some agents and publishers. Most never responded.Later, I got busy with other things and the manuscript gathered dust in some remote folder on my laptop I was too scared to open. Then in early 2019, it hit me. Why would anyone read my book?I asked myself - "When was the last time you read a book that wasn't recommended or wasn't from an author you knew?" NEVER.But even more importantly, was I even a decent writer?So, on April Fool's Day, 2019, I decided to begin posting short stories anonymously on Instagram to get feedback, understand my audience and work on my craft. Two days later, on the 3rd of April 2019, I posted my first story. Five people liked it. It was a beginning.I posted another story. And then, one more. Soon, interested readers began to follow the account and came along for the ride. I began feeling responsible for delivering original and honest stories that made them think, question their world view, and maybe even feel human. It was a symbiotic relationship.I used the pen name ‘Wrongwriter’ and stayed anonymous for two years. Anonymous because I wanted honest feedback. For the most part of those two years, even my close family members and friends were not aware I was writing publicly.‘WrongWriter’ - I chose this name when I thought about my motivation to write. In fiction, justice can be served. You can right some of the wrongs that happen in real life. That's how the name came up. Now, we are a 10,000+ strong community of avid readers.If you liked this book and would like to stay up-to-date with my latest works then join me on Instagram at www.instagram.com/wrongwriter.Or, write to me at ateeshkropha@gmail.com with your feedback or comments in general. I always reply.My next short story will be available for purchase on the 1st of June, 2021.Best,Ateesh Kropha,New Delhi.показать меньше
