When Dimple Met Rishi (Dimple and Rishi, #1)

by Sandhya Menon

Distance was the promise of safety. Without distance, Rishi knew the inexorable love for his art, for creation, would suck him in and never let go.

This one comes from my own experience with writing. As a child, I was always told that writing was not a viable career (and, to be honest, it’s not for most writers due to the vagaries of creative occupations—which is why I am so grateful to have the career I do!). So, to ease the “pull” of writing, as it were, I threw myself into other hobbies and interests that were more acceptable. That feeling of being “sucked in and never let go” is so relatable for me! Do you have passions or talents that feel all-consuming to you?
