Day 6 of #PlotTober Pirai Nila's goal: Master astral projection because her dream-self has disappeared from her dreamscape and she is unable to lucid dream with which she had been conjuring her deceased lover Isaivalan. So, she wants to project her astral body to that realm to meet his soul. 🧵

Realising changing streams at this point of life is a good idea 😌

This is a semi-autobiographical short story I wrote for last week's Reedsy contest. I never thought I'd convert my painful experience into a time-travel story. Please give it a read! blog.reedsy.com/short-story/...

LUCID is gonna be my word of the year.

When I'm heartbroken, as I too often seem to be, I think about the friends who help us through love-story after love-story, and I lift up these words for them. ❤️

While packing up, Maya tried to get Nikhil’s attention, but strangely Nikhil was looking everywhere except at Maya. When she tried to #approach him, he pretended to dial someone on the phone and moved away from her. Maya felt as if someone had drenched her in ice-cold water. #WIPSnips #TimeTravel

While doing so, her fingers brushed against a shell – a banded tulip having beige spots on a cream #surface. She enclosed it in her palm and held on to it as if it would take her back in time where she could redo her mistakes. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

For a moment, she imagined breaking her phone, so that Nikhil would #jump out of it mystically and embrace her in the warmest hug she would ever receive. But all she could do was stifle her cries while she scrolled through the Google Search results. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

Day 21 of #TimeTravelAuthors Maya’s tresses went haywire in the breeze and she had a hard time shoving the tendrils behind her ears. For a moment or two, the sound of the waves calmed her a bit and made her forget that she hadn’t #appeared where she was supposed to be. #WriteSky #AmWriting

Maya looked at him, a warm expression on her face. She might not fall in love with him, but she’d stay in #harmony with him. That much she could be sure of. He wasn’t that bad after all. There were demons out there and Anuj was far better than them. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #TimeTravel #AmWriting

Since Leela knew that it would take at least an hour before she boarded the plane, she walked around the lounge, with one hand holding the backpack’s #strap and the other inside her jeans pocket. As she ambled, she noticed her favourite bookshop Higginbothams. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #TimeTravel

still standing on the #threshold of longing I witness the madness slithering away from me now I can yearn without it without the insanity without losing my footing without listening to the incessant calls from the abyss this new longing is adorned with clarity and acceptance #micropoetry #vss365

Taylor Swift asked this in one of my favourite songs from folklore album. This was my answer to her back in 2020 ✨ #KJDreamyPoet

Do you all make playlists for the songs that run in your mind? Because I do. #MusicSky #SpotifyPlaylists open.spotify.com/playlist/1Pb...

‘Maya, I don’t want to #argue now. I don’t think you’ll take it in the right manner. I have so many apprehensions talking about it.’ ‘Stop addressing me as Maya. And what the hell are you talking about? Come clean or else I’m walking out on you,’ she almost thundered. #WIPSnips #WriteSky

This poem was published in the Modern Literature magazine last month. I wrote it after I got a nasty chalazion removed from my right lower eyelid. Full poem here: dreamypoet.substack.com/p/goodbye-ch... #PoetrySky #KJDreamyPoet #Poetry

finalizing the plot & then realizing you have to actually write the book now

‘No, no, there’s a button at the bottom of the device. If you click that, you can instantly come back to your present.’ ‘Oh! So we are going to enter the #lift on the 8th floor. When it reaches the ground floor, there will be no human being inside. Right?’ #WIPSnips #WriteSky #TimeTravel

Hello, I am Preethi. I am working on the first draft of my debut UpLit novel, while also writing a few FeelGood novellas/short stories on the side. Trivia: My UpLit WIP’s MC Dhriti has a cute puppy named Kabaddi. :) #LateNightWrite

Some mealy mouthed guy: “shut up about politics and just write your books.” Me: “My dude, what makes you think that my books are any less political than my social media posts?”

It's that time of the month to revisit this quirky list poem. Wrote this in 2022 in a frenzy while experiencing severe period cramps and mood swings during my Metro ride. This poem was also read in an Insta Live by poet Kait Quinn ☺️ #KJDreamyPoet #Poetry #PoetrySky

She could feel their eyes on her as she walked towards that lovely green patch. But she didn’t stop. She kept walking until she reached the other end of the green patch. Then she slumped herself on the sand to #collect her thoughts. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

Hello :)

Day 1 of #TimeTravelAuthors Introducing my WIP 'Bid Time A Goodbye' with this synopsis. #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

What did I get out of taking a break from work for two weeks, with just working the weekend in between: I am not made for long holidays/breaks. The most I can be away from work/writing/trying to work/write is 1.5 days. My holiday basically should last only for two days. I can’t do more 🥲

I would like to feed him More Peppers

“How was work?” Traffic police person: “Oh, fine, fine, fine.”

Here after @druggedbyisai.bsky.social had to remind me that I have this app… on twitter. I forgot I had this one.

Day 17 of #TimeTravelAuthors The time machine which scientist Jessica Almeida invents cannot make people travel forward in time, only backward. But there's an instance of forward time travelling in the book which will be a huge spoiler if I reveal it here 🌚 #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

Die only because @omahazeeya.bsky.social keeps sending me such stunning pics of my celeb crush 🥰

But then, ages #elapse, people change, things change, and relationships change. People grow out of who they were in the past. As they grow, they tend to see things in a different light and acquire different perspectives about the world. #WIPSnips #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

This poem was published in Modern Literature magazine last month. #PoetrySky #KJDreamyPoet #Poetry #PoetryCommunity

I haven’t written anything in close to couple weeks now. It makes me feel like a horrible writer. And my characters definitely deserve a better person. But I also know that my characters would never shame me like this for not being able to write, and will only be empathetic towards my plight.

Before Maya could visit the lab, she decided to take a walk on the sandy seashore, revelling in the mild November sunshine. She reached her #favourite spot – the huge patch of green amidst the vast expanse of the sand. #WIPSnips #AmWriting #TimeTravel

‘Maya, is this a joke? How can I believe you? I’m not entering that,’ Krishnamurthy #dismissed her and almost walked back to the table before Maya tugged at his hand. ‘Daddy, just trust me. I wouldn’t be joking about something as serious as this.’ #WIPSnips #WriteSky #AmWriting #TimeTravel

Hello, everyone! I'm Kavya Janani from Chennai, India. I'm a banker by profession and a mom to a cute little girl. I have finished the 1st draft of a time travel novel titled 'Bid Time A Goodbye'. Right now, my editor is working on it and I'm preparing for the 2nd draft.

‘Oh my God!’ Maya yelled in joy. Her eyes gleamed like a child watching fireworks for the #first time. There stood the ultramarine blue cylindrical machine that was the cause of all joys and miseries. #WIPWordSearch #AmWriting #TimeTravel
