I
love reading biographies and inspirational stories about personalities but it
is only now that I have started looking around
to notice friends and acquaintances who
are inspiring go-getters.
It
is impossible to miss how enthusiastic and passionate each one of them are, in
their field of expertise. Such is one person, I am going to introduce in the
blog tour for this month.
An
Excerpt from my conversation with Ms. Sharada
1) How is “A day in the life of Sharada
Vijay” different from “ A day in AUTHOR Sharada Vijay’s Life” ?
Wake
up at 7.30 am. Have my green tea. Make lunch for Vijay. Chit chat with the
house helper. Have a lazy late breakfast. Scribble something on my notepad.
Watch some TV. Green tea again. Do my content writing assignments. Catch up
with a friend maybe. Evening chat with Vijay once he is back home. Eat dinner.
Fight over the remote. End up watching WWE. Content writing post 11 pm.
The
difference being….
It's
as normal as any other woman. Very normal. But the difference is whatever I see
around, I start to observe a lot and whenever I see a particular character in
someone, my mind starts to weave a story around him/her. I have this
uncontrollable need to pen it down then and there and that's why I always carry
a notepad.
2) Take
us through the transition and stages, content, publishing, reaching the
audience?
Being a writer and being a
story writer are two completely different things. My respect for story tellers
and writers have gone several notches higher. It's not easy weaving a story ,
especially something you haven't been a parts of. I started to write it
randomly and one led to another and somehow the links kept getting longer and
the story started to come alive. My suggestion to those writers would be to
free their minds and not restrict their thoughts to what they think is right.
Your story need not reflect you. The best thing about story writing is you can
get to think and be whatever you wanted to be and couldn't be through your
characters.
3) Tell
us about "Make it 2" and reasons as to why it is a must read for the
audience?
"Make
it 2" is a simple story. No frills. As simple as what could happen to you
or the person next to you. It's a short read while u sip a cuppa or bored
during a journey. It's fun. It's love. Its making love. It's passion. It's
human. Read it ! You'll not want your money back )
4) Sharada Vijay has a multi faceted personality!
What other aspect
than being an author should we look forward to
experiencing?
Multi faceted? Really? J I have always loved RJing. I have started my own
audio series talking about societal issues and about anything that caught my
attention. I'm hoping to get into RJ'ing soon enough. I have found a new
interest in voice over and dubbing and look forward to exploring that as well.
I do stand up comedy occasionally though not finding the time but I still do it
for my close circle J
5)
Words of wisdom?
Hope.
Love. Believe. Laugh. Repeat.
Wishing
Sharada Vijay all success in 2016.
