Fiction Monday – 41
Hello writers! Welcome to the forty-first edition of Fiction Monday. It took me years to consider myself as a writer. In the beginning, though I used to write, I never saw myself as a writer. I aspired to be a writer. Whenever I thought of myself as a writer, I felt like an imposter. Like I was faking it. My fear was what will I do when eventually creativity runs out. I believed that my creativity was bound to run out one day. The poems I wrote were accidental. I didn’t set out to write them, at least not back […]

Hello writers! Welcome to the thirty-seventh edition of Fiction Monday. “Some rules are nothing but old habits that people are afraid to change.” ~ Theresa Fowler It’s okay to question a rule if that rule doesn’t serve you any purpose. Often we tend to follow somebody’s rules without pausing to ask why. We also accept these habits someone else formed as part of a tradition. There is nothing wrong in asking why. But, I have been labeled a rebel because I question and bend the rules to suit my needs. So be warned questioning comes with consequences. But without questioning, […]

Hello writers! Welcome to the thirty-sixth edition of Fiction Monday. If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward. – Martin Luther King Jr Sometimes I wonder what is the point of this blog hop! If I didn’t put up the prompt a week, nobody will miss it. In the beginning there were a few regulars along with some new joiners. Since the new year began all enthusiasm waned away. Even I fail to write a response to the prompt every […]

Hello writers! Welcome to the thirty-third edition of Fiction Monday. “No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.” ~ Aesop That’s right. Kindness is not tagged as big or small. Being kind to someone, or to yourself is the best thing that you can do.

Hello writers! Welcome to the thirty-first edition of Fiction Monday. “You can always edit a bad page. You can’t edit a blank page.” ― Jodi Picoult Often getting to that bad page is the difficult part. And that’s why we use writing prompts. Internet is filled with writing prompts of all kinds. I would like to think that this little exercise is helping to flex our creative muscles. I had a crazy week and hence couldn’t finish any of the creative work. This week am all for creating those bad pages. Hope you will join me, too. Stories From The Thirtieth […]
Fiction Monday – 30
Hello everyone! Welcome to the thirtieth edition of Fiction Monday. “You will never run out of words!” I wish somebody said that to me long long ago. The first time I wrote a poem I was in the 6th grade. I wrote again in the 9th and 10th grades. Something came to me and I wrote poems out of it. My writing was sporadic and I wrote when that compulsion made me do so. And whenever I wrote it was in poetry format. I never shared those scribbles with anyone. Because I feared what if this is a one-time thing. […]
Fiction Monday – 29
Hello everyone! Welcome to the twenty-ninth edition of Fiction Monday. “If not now then when?” This is a thought that I live by. Life is short. There comes a day when you can’t put it off any longer. I have a tendency to put off my dearest works to a later time. This is so I can give it the love and attention it deserves. As a result, I never finish them. I have some stories which I loved so much when I first wrote, sitting in my draft waiting for their turn to see the world. I mean there […]
