I couldn’t help it but to name my
post today with this particular title. Only yesterday I got my hands on a
phenomenal book by Agatha Christie. I have read many suspense/ murder/ mystery
by quite a few writers but this one has mesmerized me beyond anything and gave
me Goosebumps.
Surprisingly you would not find
any ghastly descriptions of grueling murders or exotic situations however the
subtlety here is the main killer. Some might have read something with the same
theme earlier yet the way everything has been narrated is what makes Agatha
Christie a writer par excellence.
I will not say farther because
that would spoil the fun of reading it. So if you have time then do read it
“Endless Night”, by Agatha Christie.
I was introduced to this
incredible writer by my mother many years ago and since then I have been her
ardent fan. I have read other writers and topics also but somehow Agatha’s
books takes you into a fantasy world where its always about lavish English
houses, well dressed ladies, beautiful outdoors and yes unexpected murders. The
good thing about her books is that you would hardly ever get horrific scene
details.
This makes me wonder what superb
outlet story writing is; you can have all the creative ideas of your mind,
characters, fantasy locations, stories from all around you – you place them all
together and voila!
There are so many things which go
on in our mind there are thoughts situations our fantasy life and characters;
nevertheless they quietly dwell within the realms of our mind. What if we can
express them creatively giving us an artistic outlet and also come out as entertaining
to others. A win-win situation!
The stories do not always have to
be suspense but they could be romantic or any other genre. What intimidate me
is the detailed descriptions of characters/ situations and continuing the story
line from beginning till the end without making it a drag. But then do I have
to worry about it, who could have thought that I can write blog for more than a
month. I started my posts on 1st December, 2009 and here we are with
2 years of writing.
I believe if this is what I would
be inclined to do then irrespective of how intimidated I am of the task I will
still do it, moreover I do feel a strong pull towards writing stories at least
for now. With blog its different as it is only a page or so with me being the
sole incharge of everything and with stories you have to publish them and lots
of people have to read them as well. A far-fetched idea but then why to
complicate it, I can write on my blog or make another blog for stories and lets
see where we go from there.
I have to be honest that few
years ago approximately in 2003 I was at the peak of my detective mind and I
used to get mysteries out of even the simpler aspects of daily life. Then work
and career got the most of me and Sonya was lost somewhere in all that chaos.
More than the growing up itself the idea of being an adult takes over and we
begin to complicate simplicity of life.
With all my affections…
