Getting even with odd times
I was discussing about my failed attempts at writing fiction with my friend Peeyush a few weeks ago when he suddenly came up with the idea of us collaborating on a work. The idea was that we take turns writing a chapter, each time taking it in the direction we want and infusing our own individual styles in it. Of course taking care that there is some sense of continuity between chapters. I loved the idea, although I'd a made couple of attempts with a similar project earlier and hadn't been very successful.(link). But this was a new opportunity, and I enthusiastically agreed.
Peeyush wrote the first chapter, which I felt was awesome enough to be a complete story by itself - compact with an excellent plot and ending. I then wrote the second chapter and since then we've been taking turns at adding to the story, one chapter at a time. The story as of this time has five chapters and I'm working on the sixth. While the story is not in any way complete, we have actively been working on it and we thought adding a link for the ongoing effort (even if incomplete, and may be even unpolished) on our respective blogs might be good. We may get some feedback as well. So today, I'm putting up the link to the story: Getting even with odd times.
Hope you enjoy reading it. Please feel free to give us your feedback/criticism!
