Crafting another Emotionally Mindful symphony — Part III
Looking concerned Mark said, “Aria, what’s happening? This isn’t like us.”
As her body shivered, Aria replied in tense voice, “I don’t know, Mark. Everything feels different. The city, our connection — it’s all unravelling.”
As they spoke, the normally serene plaza transformed into a surreal landscape. The once-luminous holographic displays of love stories and shared experiences now flickered ominously. Other couples around them experienced similar disruptions, their gestures of affection met with uncertainty and confusion.
Hi there. Myself Amitabh Choudhury, author of this incomplete script, back with another update on the ongoing creation of this “Mindful Symphony.” This post will provide you with insights into the latest developments in both the storyline and the behind-the-scenes journey.
In previous update I mentioned about studying Gumroad, Substack and also about the Tarot cards to design the plot. This update will introduce you to the female protagonist. Her name will not be disclosed, though.
Before moving on to the plot, I would like to inform that a Newsletter is being designed to operate on Substack. Most likely next update will flush out the details to subscribe. The major issue I face is the payment processors’ difficulty with operating in India.
Medium and Substack both use Stripe as the payment processor, not Paypal. I am beginning to understand that the reason “may be” due to recurring payment workflow.
Stripe has its own issues with operating in India. I pray, pray and pray that my account with Stripe is activated. Please join me in praying for swift activation of my account with Stripe easily and effortlessly.
Other than the payment processing, Substack has wide array of configuration to fill. This collection of configuration parameters, sort of, make the learning curve steep but then also nurture smooth operation of the Newsletter platform workflow (my guess).
I am also learning about Goodreads. Just started. Have to spend some time on understanding its workflow.
Please comment your opinion about Gumroad, Substack and Goodreads.
I am wondering whether to publish this story about Synthara on Gumroad or on KDP. Please comment your opinion (or message me at amitabh.choudhury@acitecreatives.com)
Now about the female protagonist of this story in making.
She is representation of the Tarot card that was activated in the Tarot spread that governs the plot of this story of Synthara.
She represents Page of Cups reversed.
Page of Cups generally indicates attributes of emotional exploration, creativity, intuitions, message of love. But in reversed, she represents emotional confusion, blocked intuition, immaturity, unrealistic expectations etc.
So designing her persona accordingly and playing it out throughout the storyline is quite a challenge. That is what is happening in the plot development.
I am certainly dealing with couple of challenging situations. But then the characters in this story of Synthara have to experience larger challenge, as the story will unravel.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes glimpses about this work in progress. Your support fuels this creative exploration. Do feel at ease to comment, clap and follow.
