Chris The Story Reading Ape's Blog
Hello there!
Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is Ritu Bhathal, a 40 (soon to be 40-something!) year old woman, living in the heart of Kent, UK.
By day, I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, and a teacher.
By night, I am exhausted!
No, seriously, I am a blogger, and writer.
After I have sorted all the general household kerfuffle out, kids fed and watered, washed and packed into bed, hubby and myself also fed, laundry done, lunches made for the next day, and any outstanding schoolwork done, then I manage to sit down with my iPad/Surface or on my computer, to either write a blog post, or peruse my followed blogs, or generally write.
Yes, that means I seem to burn the candle at both ends, as I rarely sleep before midnight, and in term time, I am up at 6 then have to be alertā¦

Ritu,
I love your story about yourself. It was so honest. One day please post one of your videos singing Punjabi folk songs- we would so love to hear your voice again.
I love your writing and think you should write a School series of books like Malory towers or St. Clare’s or Chalet school. What do you think ?
It would be lovely to read a school story written from a teacher’s POV.

Your lack of time reminds me of another writer, Raymond Carver. He has passed on now. But early in his career, he wrote short stories because he lacked the time to concentrate on a novel. He would write when he was doing the laundry or babysitting or other mundane things where he had a bit of time. And he became a major writer of short stories in the seventies and eighties.
