Writing a story is a lot like water.
Jal or Water mirrors the essence of story writing. Like water, your story can be made to carve its path and shape narratives that can reflect your own or other's experience.
A story starts with an idea...
and ideas, sometimes flow like a calm stream...smooth, gentle, easy to follow. Other times, they drip slowly, one drop at a time, testing your patience. And occasionally… it pours. Words come rushing in, characters jump out of nowhere, and you just try to keep up without spilling everything.
The trick is not to force it. Just like water, ideas find their way when you give them space.
Let them flow, let them pause...Let them trickle, or let them flood.
But most importantly—let them be, because every great story, like every river, starts with just a tiny drop.
