Who and what adds meaning to your life?
We all have acquaintances, friends and family, and strangers who form a major part of our life. You never know when you can get a lesson from them. Every lesson whether is good or bad adds a considerable amount of value to our life. We often make decisions based on the lessons we learn and as soon as we realize that living a meaningful life does not have to be a perfect but an accomplished life, we accept ourselves and we know how to deal with various mishaps in our life.
Anyone can add meaning to our life. It can be that stranger you met while going to the office by bus or someone who helped you as a friend and never asked anything in return. It can also be someone who didn’t lend you help even in your worst times. They too will add meaning to your life because they made you stronger and less dependent on others to deal with your problems.
I too have friends, enemies, family, strangers I met while commuting who add meaning to my life, and when you search for the value, it has no boundaries. It can be as simple as helping you understand your responsibilities or helping you to fulfill your dream.
Thank you for reading! Hope I too could add some value to your life.
How to write an epistolary novel?
Before we get to understand how to write an epistolary novel, we need to know what is an epistolary novel. An epistolary novel is written using a series of letters, or documents that are personal and emotionally tacked up between the characters. A writer uses the conversations and details of the documents exchanged between multiple characters to express a part of their heart and soul.
These novels are generally quite exquisite and interesting to read. I love collecting letters and responding to others’ letters a lot so I can relate to the excitement of receiving a reply via letter. Nowadays we have social media and electronic media, you can also use those electronic mails to drive your story.

Why write an epistolary novel?
Epistolary is as old as time and during the old time when it took days and months to get a letter, it added warmth to the wait of the sender. The writer waits for a response that they do not have control over and the story shapes as the way a river scoops into the available shape.
When you decide to write an epistolary novel, focus on meaningful thoughts, the emotions, and do not expect the response that would shape your story into the desired direction but mold it in the best possible direction.
It can be really interesting if you want to write an epistolary novel. Next time you get into an emotional exchange over letters either online or offline, do spin a story that touches the very soul and every heart.
During my childhood, I used to write letters to my cousins and it would reach for one week. I would wait for the reply and after a month, I will receive a letter. The joy seemed enormous and the story that I can think of now looks precious. I still hold those letters close to myself and kept them safe.
I hope now you understand the epistolary novel and decide to write one too.
