The story behind the epic!


I am confused from where should I start the story...

She also was confused from where to start the story...
She had been working on it for about ten years, she had stacks and stacks of chapters... still she couldn't write the opening chapter!
She was a very private person, so nobody except her husband had read her novel!
But she used to talk about it often to her close friend Loise Cole!
Louise was working in Macmillan publications!
Let us start the story from the scene where Mr.Lotham and our private lady having an official luncheon at 'Atlanta athletic club'.
Mr.Latham was sent to Georgia, to hunt for fresh authors, to boost the sales of Macmillan publications!
Knowing about the good writer in shadows through Miss.Cole, he was flattering and cajoling and using all sorts of tricks in his hat ,to get that novel from her!
But she refused, thinking her writing was incomplete and many chapters needed mending and also the papers carrying her words turned into a pathetic yellow in course of time... she was too shy to show it to anybody!
Mr.Latham left disappointed.
And the magic happened when she was returning home along with the writers attended the meeting...
One of the writer poured some harsh words, which meant she was so mild to earn any sort of glory like the writer herself!
With an anguish kindled impulse she collected the mammoth bundle of her works and literally run to the local railway station,to catch Mr.Laham...
Mr.Latham was about to board when he saw our lady... struggling to carry her huge pile of papers.
He had no room in his bag to thrush them...
That great gentleman immediately bought a new suitcase... placed her novel inside... safe enough, so that those great writings would never be said " GONE WITH THE WIND".
When she was waving her hands to Mr.Latham, she never knew her life was going to be turned for ever!
MARGARET MITCHELL was standing in the railway platform... long after the train left, cursing herself for her impulsive action!
(p.s 'Gone with the wind' the movie based on her novel made a record thirteen nominations at oscars)
