Six Sentence Story #24 | Prompt Word: PLAN
It’s time for the blog hoppers to join in and share their Six Sentence Stories at the link-up , where you can, by the way, find many awesome authors. The blog hop is hosted by Denise and this time I linked-up two entries: this one here and another for the collaborative world of the Six Sentence Café & Bistro . Musically, I’m currently listening to Sólstafir, but I’ve also been digging Zeal & Ardor and DeathbyRomy for the past week. Six Sentence Story #24 “Do you even have a fricking plan?” Tom was having a serious problem hiding his annoyance with me as I had taken on the project of redoing our bedroom’s layout while asking for help with moving the bed three times: from the centre of the room to the window, across the window, and then had the audacity to ask him to rotate it…
dVerse POETICS #1 | Absence of Colour
This poem was written in five minutes because of the prompt on the dVerse Poets site, Get Out Your Crayons and Come Color with Me!. Unusual as usually one poem takes me at least a week to write/edit but the description for white gave me an idea… Thank you! Also, be sure to check out the link-up where many poets share their work and if mine is not it… there surely is an author you will like. Absence of Colour Most people would thinkupon the colour blackwhen describing sadness, but what if the colour of melancholywas white— an absence, void of feeling, numbness. Nothingness can beas nerve-wrackingas the waiting roomof a doctor’s office: white walls, fluorescent light, void of feeling, absence of colour. There’s more of my work: All of the six-sentence stories . The Nervous Poet…
Ten Thing of Thankful #8 | Aurelia, Coffee & Creative Joy
Ooh, it’s Sunday, and I just remembered that the week is over and I should probably share my Ten Things of Thankful for the week, which has become kind of a ritual for me to show gratitude for the little things in life. Those little things matter because, all together, they make a big thing—if that makes sense, haha. Also, reading all the other authors’ thankfuls makes the community feel super tight-knit and alive. It’s truly a surge of serotonin at the end of the week. Please do check them out at the link-up ! Ten Thing of Thankful #8 First — Six Sentence Story challenges provided by Girlie on the Edge . I wrote my first Six Sentence Story for the blog hop on May 26, 2022; that was…
Short Story | Elves and Fantasy
I wanted to write a short story about how we sometimes fall in love with a stranger—captivated by a simple gesture, a glance, a small, unexpected moment. Elves and Fantasy is a short story born from that feeling, and from the quiet fear that maybe we’re not enough, or that a hello might ruin the magic. But what if that one hello could change everything? Short Story | Elves and Fantasy He sat across from her on the train he took every day to work and back. Never had he seen her before, and there was nothing else that he could do than sit there, staring at her drawing while being perplexed by her beauty. He himself had never drawn before, or maybe he did when he was still in kindergarten and just forgot how much he enjoyed it. Seeing her made him curious. Who was she? Where did she come…
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #15 | Desperation
Part of my poetry collection, Margins of the First Draft—I know how this poem was written. This one I remember: I was listening to an Egyptian singer, and I was struck by how he conveyed obsessive love. I wanted to borrow that style, because it was so strong and somehow unhinged that I wanted something like it in my own writing. (Authors Note) Desperation What is the worth of my love If I can not paint the city walls With the colour of his eyes Poetry on the Margins #15 The Worth of My Love It’s the writer’s ache —to immortalize this feeling of admiration,desperation, longing, ache. Whatever you wanna call it — it is. Otherwise, what was this feeling worth?If I can’t create from it,grow…

Ten Thing of Thankful #5 | Finding Joy in Doing Nothing
It was quite difficult for me to find anything interesting to write about for this week as it has been very quiet all of a sudden… I am used to drowning under my responsibilities and I just took time off or something. This week’s Ten Thing of Thankful felt a bit…
Six Sentence Story #22 | Prompt Word: INTEREST
Yet again, a week has passed and it’s time for a new six-sentence story. This week I wrote something a bit different from my usual entries, and it’s also the first week in a while that I have been able to rest. Yay. The blog hop itself is hosted by GirlieOnTheEdge ….
Ten Thing of Thankful #4 | Passing Uni Exams & Summer Break
