An Author and A Young Woman
This is basically the first draft of my third short story “An Author and A Young Woman.” Now, I know that there are misspelled words and grammatical mistakes. There might be minor logical flows also. However, I wanted to get something done and post it on the internet. I already made a couple of printouts; I plan to pass them to a few people and get their feedback. I hope that this first draft is readable so that those of you who are keen on reading new writers’ short stories and novels can read without a lot of difficulties.
This is a bit longer than my second short story, and this has over 15,000 words. So, I made 11 blog entries this time; there are 11 chapters in the story and each chapter is posted as one blog entry. The following is the list of links to all chapters.
Chapter 1: Birthday Party
Chapter 2: Divya Virk
Chapter 3: First Man
Chapter 4: Going Back to India for the First Time
