Six Sentence Story | Chaos #3 | Life
This week, I also wrote a bit about my life. The prompt word and the weekly Six Sentence Story blog hop are hosted by Denise. You can hop in or read all the other entries through the link-up. Six Sentence Story | Chaos #3 After reading Misky's addition to the world of the Café this week, I was 99 percent sure I would write my reply from the POV of the Nervous Poet—I think we are having one heck of a heist soon… However, my last week's procrastination has bitten me in the arse, and I have spent the whole week doing both weeks' assignments—I mean, last week I only did the ones that had a deadline by last Sunday—I mean, I know I can do a lot in one day, but, that was not very smart of me… I was also super-dooper sure that I would make it to one test today (optional), but somehow time went...
a POEM IN SIX #4 | Prompt Word: FOIL
I am not super happy about how this one turned out myself, but I am super happy that I did create something. I just yesterday watched some reels of cats jumping on counters that were covered with foil… so the inspiration came from there... The prompts for the weekly sixes are provided by Denise and all the entries can be found at the link-up. FOIL Cats seem to really hate this thing… I wonder if it has something to dowith the sensation of it touching their paws… As if overloading their senses—I mean…it does feel oddly smooth,slippery,and crinkly at the same time… Or perhaps it is the sound it makes once they jump on it… Jane used to keep it on top of her fridge,but once she came home and found her tabby with its back arched,fur looking like spikes,pupils blown wide… …on top of the...

Short Story | The Silence Between Us
This is another piece in the ‘Dead Poet’ "series" or something. It's a short story inspired by the the six-sentence story of the same name that written for a prompt. In it, the protagonist falls deeply in love with a person through their poetry, only to remain alone for a lifetime. I hope I’ve captured the feeling of being in love with something unattainable well enough. Short Story | The Silence Between Us I feel like I have nothing left to write these days. Instead of creating, I’ve been sitting on my bed in a vegetative state, guilt accumulating with every sip of wine I take. I know I should be writing—or doing something, anything. Sometimes, I catch myself simply waiting for nightfall, just so I can curl up and pretend to sleep, though occasionally, I find myself fantasizing instead....
Poetry On the margins of the First Draft #20 | Nothing
The final piece of Margins of the First Draft—a strange piece of poetry about inspiration being found in someone elses work. I’m a little sad that this is the last piece of this section.Hopefully, I’ll create more in the future as I myself liked making it, I think I have become a better writer all thanks to this section and the six-sentence stories on my blog. (Authors Note) Nothing “I will die, doing nothing ” You have inspired the art of other people And that is tenfold more… Than having died “Doing nothing” Poetry on the Margins #20 A little note Art can definitely change the world into a better place,softening the harsh, cruel reality that we all tend to experience at one point or...
Poetry On the margins of the Second Draft #3 | Bad Poetry
The pieces here aren’t really poems—I’m not doing as much poetry or reflection as I am just… writing. The Second Margins were meant to be more of a messy, experimental corner of my blog—something that might ignite my imagination and lead me back to poetry. However, if I manage, I may begin sharing some poems separately as well—either parts from here or entirely new ones that feel a bit more presentable for a blog hop. Because, well, it seems I really enjoy writing and reading those too. If I tried to write poetry about my bad cravings… I think I am a violent being by nature… My mother always told me that chocolate(one of my favorite things on this earth)is supposed to be indulged in...

Six Sentence Story #26 | Prompt Word: STOP
I left this week’s entry for the Sixes until the last minute because I have so much going on with my studies and personal life combined that what came out was more of a stream of thoughts laid out like they appear in my drafts, rather than a heavily thought-out story...
Ten Thing of Thankful #22 | Writing Communities and University
Fifth week of school already… and my 22nd entry to one of the coolest blog hops, which is all about sharing the things you are grateful for. Honestly, last week I didn’t do much besides study and write, so this time my TToT feels a bit bland… You can find all the...
the Six Sentence Café & Bistro #15 | the Journal
In my last SSC&B entry, I may have shown just a little too much excitement about Misky stepping into the storyverse of the Six Sentence Café & Bistro… Then, in her Six last week, she picked up the thread and responded in a way that made me go "aaaaaaaaa" in...
