Wow….a booker prize! People do tend to dismiss the hard work that gets an author noticed!
Yes Rashmi. Often people see the result but wouldn’t think about the effort that goes into that .
Very true! Nothing comes easy 🙂
You are so good at fiction jahnavi…overnight success…I see you in that narration…my best wishes are always with you…
Thanks so much,Sudha 🙂 It’s the dream of every writer 🙂
Lovely thing to dream of. I hope you get it someday. Yes, everyone always says people experience overnight success. They always forget all the hours and time a writer spends writing before they break through, if they do.
Thanks Amanda, for your wonderful comments 🙂
Wonderful three line tale! Overnight success is a writer’s dream. 🙂
Thanks, Joy 🙂 It’s every writer’s dream to get that kind of success.
Yes, it is! 🙂
Oh, that’s a great take! And yes, it always irks me when an author is labelled ‘overnight success’… Thanks for joining in again 🙂
Overnight success is a far fetched dream. Most importantly, the writer still gets the prize. He/she couldn’t control what others thinks. Wonderful story! I stared at the picture for the whole day, still couldn’t think of 3 lines to write a story. I gave up! Haha! You are marvellous! 😀
Thanks so much for your wonderful comments😊
It’s my pleasure! 🙂

How often has this happened in real life – every week probably. I think it’s more glamorous and exciting for the media to dub someone an ‘overnight success’ – ‘success from years of hard work, sleepless nights, ignoring your family and total obssession’ doesn’t have the same ring to it 🙂
Exactly.People love to hear about ‘overnight success’ because there is no mention of hard work there:-)
