Maya falling in love with misogynist Anuj again? Heck no!

Today's random #Lovember #WritingPrompt for the #WriteSky #WritingCommunity:

Would your character(s) still fall for their first love(s)?
If it doesn't make sense to answer for romantic love, you can talk about some other sort of "first love".

While Maya ordered Orzo pasta filled with octopus and veggies, Nikhil ordered a Tuna salad risotto and Santorini fava.

*

She ordered some Coconut Fried Prawns and Pad Thai Chicken Noodles, while Anuj ordered Broccoli Patties and Chicken Carbonara.

Woohoo! The apt word for my MC who is an actor 😍 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity#TimeTravel
Maya’s first trip was to February 12th, 2016 – the day she first met Nikhil face-to-face, in her debut movie’s success meet. Her bones tingled with such longing that she decided her first time travel trip would be to that day, when she had breathed Nikhil’s scent for the first time after fangirling and crushing over him on social media.

Nobody's gonna get this GIF, except if you are from Tamil Nadu.

That character placing his hand on his chest and saying 'happada' is what Maya Krishnamurthy is by the end of the story - relieved.

Lapis Lazuli 🌌 #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel
After extensive research for suitable material, Jessica zeroed upon the crystal, Lapis Lazuli, which corresponded to the properties of Einstein’s general relativity theory. Experimenting with the different states of the gemstone, she refined her techniques to anchor its properties, fuelling the device with the necessary energy to operate.

Since Maya has shades of me, I think she'd love this beautiful Tamil song about tranquility, freedom, and non-hustling as much as I love it.

A scene where my own grandpa has been fictionalised 😍❤️ #WIPSnips

#WriteSky #AmWriting #WritingCommunity #TimeTravel
The old man looked perplexed at the sudden disruption. He was even more startled as Maya’s outfit seemed odd for the period she was in. He looked around and observed that they were the only people on the road. He then looked at her once over in confusion before replying, ‘Sure, child. Just walk ahead in this direction and take the first right. Keep walking for two minutes, and you’ll see the temple to your right. But the temple will be closed at this time. Why do you want to go there now, ma?’ A tinge of concern crossed his face, despite his initial surprise at seeing her.

‘Hey, I’m genuinely curious. I think we should have the special people in our lives with whom we can discuss how sunrises, sunsets, and rainbows make us feel… the kind of people who will not think we are insane if we talk about all that passionately. Have you ever thought about this?’

Day 19 of #TimeTravelAuthors

‘Thank you, Maya. I’m sorry if I’m turning too emotional. I… I’m not like this usually. I don’t know why I feel like I could share anything and everything with you.’

Maya winced, feeling the deep sense of longing in Nikhil’s voice, too.

What subject could your Main Character info-dump about?
17. What subject could your main character info-dump about? A prompt game for the month of November, titled #Novmemeber (as in meme). Hosted by @sagetgreene.bsky.social . The bottom says "Have fun, interact, and remember alt text!" There is a silly emoji face with wild eyes and tongue sticking out, and some fall-style leaves in the corners.

Day 17 of #TimeTravelAuthors: Does anyone read in my story?

Yes. Both Maya and Nikhil are bookworms in 'Bid Time a Goodbye', though it isn't very explicit in the story (there's a mention of the books they read in some flashback scenes).

‘Dangerous? Feminists are not dangerous, you dumbass. We are just normal human beings fighting for equal rights. People who have seen the inequality in society and decided to voice against it.’ ‘Men and women can never become equal,’ Anuj squared his shoulders obstinately. There! He was back. The one who she wanted to run far away from.

But Anuj infuriatingly still kept his cool. ‘Maya, we all progress by learning. I have learned this truth about you now. This relationship has been a lesson for me. I will not commit this same mistake again with any other woman I date.’ ‘But you are breaking my heart, Anuj. Do you even realise that?’ Maya asked, hating how her voice was becoming mellow.

Narrative pace, unnecessary filler scenes, bad editing, and a writing style that's just not to my taste.

What the pandemic gifted to celebs like Maya Krishnamurthy 🤭 #WIPSnips

#WritingCommunity #AmWriting #TimeTravel #WriteSky
When Maya left for her house, she promised that she’d visit them the next week, too. She then drove back to her house in her shiny Ferrari, glad to have a chance to drive it again. Since the pandemic was still on, she was relieved that paparazzi weren’t following her every move like they did previously.
