Writer or Waiter?
Read until you can write and write until you can read it,
this is one of thoughts before setting out to write according to me .We are in the world where stories are countless but readers are numbered.
Inspite of such a growing population still there are more space for welcoming readers.Those who prefer one genre may not jump into other genre unless they are inspired to do.
Given a busy schedule for everyone's life,there are hardly hours left to pursue their hobbies.
So fitting the time constraints and liking of a genre ,the books are literally competing in the marketing space.
Writers are definitely writing from their heart to beat the story as their one creation which could never be replaced.What ever might be the story but the that story could be written only once and read at least thousand times only to get to know that it is not from any other story.
Like the dive into the ocean make us discover a new world underneath ,like the telescopic images of constellations make us believe there are other existing celestials,the book in the hands make us believe there might be a world akin to as we imagine from the story. That there are characters surreal living their lives as exaggerated by the story ,in this world or in unknown. Who knows even there they are reading or visualizing our lives as stories in the books they read too!!
Imaginary, but sometimes there is a infinitesimal probability for it to happen in this vast expanse universe .
But not all the works get in the hands of needed as they are deserve to be.Practically even for the small residual readers ,there is a high precise competitive arena. Where in the established could survive ,amateur could exist and those who are progressing could struggle to rise up.
Not all the ones who are taking off the lids to write to are successfully signing their copies with the same pen.For the given time schedule ,demands and pay offs,there are still frequent change of pens in the hands of writers to fulfill all the criteria.
/change of pens-denoting different stages to get a book published./
To be noticed ,not only the readers are awaiting for a book but also the writers who are patiently waiting for the book to be happening ,more likely to become a bestseller .
Word of the mouth or pressure from peers or a content for captions ,the book needs to amass readers.
When a book is set out for marketing ,it has become a product rather than a creation.
In today's world everything is business so obviously the books need to be marketed .This will also increase the expectancy of book.
It has also proved to illuminate the deserving light for a book.But most cases time is numbered accordingly.
There is always a gradient and slope in the period of the sales.That is the acceptable truth for any given product.Especially for' once use only ' product.Here the book.
Its said that for a particular book ,there is a particular ceiling for readers .After which the crowd subsides.
Not actually legislated but prevalent from most cases of book sales.
Thus always the fact is that life expectancy for a book is legitimate though not predictable but bound to occur.
"A writer only begins a book ,reader finishes it", a well known quote from a famous writer is just apt to say how a reader plays a vital role in making a book a success.
A book should not be judged by its cover,similarly success is not going to measure the book,but when it comes to returns for the writer it should be paying the wallet .
Reality hits harder than the expectations ,so all these suggest that writer is also experiencing the weight of waiting .Heavier or lighter according to the magic of words the story engulfs.
