Navigating self-doubt, staying consistent on a niche and staying true to yourself: the birth of my book newsletter

The Last Letter
The Last Letter Anannya stood on the rooftop, the gentle breeze of a golden afternoon brushing past her. In her hand was an old envelope containing a letter. She had a slight smile on her lips and watery eyes. Five years ago, on an afternoon just like this, she had first met Tanvir. In a coffee shop, flipping through the pages of a book, their conversation had begun. From that conversation bloomed a friendship, and from that friendship, love.

The Three Frames Of John
Frame One: Suffering John’s world was rendered in shades of grey. Not a dramatic, stormy grey, but the flat, unending grey of a forgotten Tuesday. He worked a job inputting data, numbers blurring into a meaningless stream, his cubicle a beige box within a larger beige box. Evenings were solitary, the silence of his small apartment amplifying the gnawing emptiness within him. Food tasted like ash, music felt like noise, and sleep was a brief, unrefreshing escape. He wasn't actively sad, not in a way that brought tears; he was simply… hollow. A ghost haunting the edges of his own life. The suffering was a quiet, relentless erosion of spirit.
