65 days of Summer
I've been struggling with sleep for the past few nights. It arrives as expected - like Santa Claus on Christmas; but then it leaves quite unexpectedly, leaving me wide awake at around 3 or 4 in the morning.

On Microfiction & One Frame Stories
'What are the minimum number of words that you require, to say/write a story?' Experts say that number could be as low as 6.

In this post, I share two 99-word stories that I've written as well as point you to a site that may help you.

I pledge for school bus safety. Do you?
When you become a parent, there’s an invisible agreement thrust into your hands beckoning you to sign it. An agreement that no matter what, we will worry about anything and everything when it comes to our children. Most of all, their safety when they’re away from us.
A sponsored post, but on a topic that is close to every parent's heart and one that is the need of the hour.
