WRITING THE WORLD - INDIA

A message from Geraldine McCaughrean, this year's lead writer:-

'Thank you, Polka, for the chance to go to India! – Not in real life, of course, but in my imagination.  Every time I write a story set in some far off land, a part of me goes there,  just as surely as if I had an air ticket.
 
The problem is: where to start?  I expect you are thinking the same thing.  India is such a vast tangle of bright colours and lives and history: bewildering and dazzling.  Reach out and pull.  Which story-strand will come away in your hand?  What idea will tangle itself around your heart?
 
I can’t wait to find out when I read your finished stories. Maybe I can even help out with a few writing tips.  It’s so exciting to be involved in Polka’s “Writing the World” project.  Polka is definitely one of MY favourite places in the whole wide world.
