She had opened up her system and had launched the text pad, her favorite form of stationery to start working on: no pretenses, no colors, no reproachful underlines to point out your errors and no irritating gem clips, dogs and cats, and with all due respect, no Einstein, to assist you in earning your bread and butter.

When she had finally found her inner peace in life and had earned the safety net of savings to maintain her life and living, her writing had taken on a bounce of their own! The colors, joy and jubilation had started popping out of her work, and slowly and steadily, her readers had welcomed her new Avatar and had accepted the now confident writer wholeheartedly! Her writing has become quite popular now!

Presently, she had realized that her steady flow of writing had stopped for the time being. There is no sense in sitting in front of the system and is waiting for the words to come! It just does not work that way! When you get stuck, you get stuck! Period.

She had made a cup of coffee and switched on the TV: while surfing idly from channel to channel, her eyes got caught on the good looking, suave and the famous male author, one of the best ever in the contemporary writing. He was sharing his life and times with the viewers. His laugh was tailor-made for the camera and his language was captivatingly mild and sober: He had a sparking magic in his eyes that had captivated his female viewers instantly! He had a huge fan following all over the country!

The program was almost over and she could watch only the final portion of his interview. The famous author was sharing with the viewers of the success of his last book and of the new breath-taking plot he was working on now.

‘This is going to be the best piece of my work ever!’ he had declared commandingly!

The interview had ended with a happy note of the interviewer wishing the author the best of success in his latest endeavor as well!

With a huge sigh, she had switched off the TV and had finished off her coffee: she shall have to continue writing now. She knew that the famous author of the interview would start putting pressure on her publishers, and in turn, the publishers shall call her and put pressure on her to complete the work as soon as possible!

She knew that she would never be able to see her name in the print; nobody will know that she could write and that she is blessed with such a fine way with the words and her work is one of the best in the world!

However, her work does get printed and she does get recognized as one of the best in the world! May be that’s what should count for her now!

‘One of the most famous authors in the world…’

She had smiled at the thought of it, had switched on the computer and had opened her favorite text pad to continue writing her best work as yet, yet again!
