To tell a tale

May 03, 2017 05:39 pm | Updated 05:39 pm IST

The first official tale-writing workshop by Terribly Tiny Tales was recently held at Koramangala Social. The event, which saw about a hundred participants attend, was conducted by Anuj Gosalia, CEO and co-founder of Terribly Tiny Tales.

Expressing his exhilaration at the size of the crowd, Gosalia began with the story of the birth of the microfiction brand, referring to microfiction as “a way to write in a world where people aren’t reading.”

A lot of technical inputs on how to craft a tiny tale were introduced to the participants, with Gosalia stressing on the importance of setting high standards and editing one’s work mercilessly. One of the concepts underlined by Gosalia at the event was the importance of amending the first ideas that one gets to arrive at a totally different interpretation of the same.

Apropos of this, the participants were asked to brainstorm and come up with different interpretations of a given word.

The workshop ended with a few participants reading out tales constructed around the word ‘word.’
