05 Apr Story Continuation Challenge Prompt 5
Thank you for participating in last week's challenge. Here are the best stories for last week's prompt. Sandra's story had maximum likes. (No surprises there! :D )As the sun set over the horizon, a deathly stillness descended with it. Her ashes drifting away, he clutched the sacred box, dreading his new life without her.My personal favourite was a last minute entry; by Ankita.
As the sun set over the horizon, a deathly stillness descended with it. They will come back for me but I ain’t scared anymore because I have got nothing to lose. As I hold your lifeless body in my arms, I pledge to avenge your death, my love.I loved her story so much that it inspired me to go far beyond what was written. I'm also going to try to write my own take of the story she started. She is also working on a longer one. I'm sure it's going to be very interesting to see how both our stories turn out. You're free to do that too. Would love to read what stories you all come up with. (Remember to ping-back and include the mandatory mention/credits :) ) Here's this week's prompt -

02 Apr Gifts from Camp NaNoWriMo
So, Camp NaNoWriMo started yesterday and as promised to myself I jumped headlong into it. I've started working on a novel; and even though the plot seemed sketchy, I still took the plunge. I did worry about not having enough length and scenes in the storyline to qualify it as a novel.I am finally working on my novel. And in the process getting to know new things about myself too. YAY!! It's just Day 2 today and I've got down 1500 words already. What could be better than that! Double YAY!!During my evening walk yesterday, a new idea occurred to me and gave me a breakthrough for making a dull scene more interesting and moving the story forward. That's when I realized that I'm a 'pantser'.

31 Mar That Dreaded Thing Called ‘Self Doubt’
I recently read somewhere that if you are extremely passionate about something, then that thing is probably ‘your calling’. How many times has it happened that we really care about something deeply, only to not pursue it seriously? I know it happens to me frequently enough. The most recent instance being my desire to write a novel. It has been on my mind ever since I quit my job. That means almost six months now. It took me long enough to discover my calling for writing. Each time the thought was that I’ll get down to it some day, soon enough. Each time I convinced myself that I wasn’t yet ready for it. Each time I persuaded myself that my writing skills needed further improvement. (They still do!)30 Mar Story Continuation Challenge Prompt 4
Once again, thank you to all of you for participating in the previous week's challenge. I loved reading your stories, and it amazes me each time to see such amazing story-telling in such few lines. Last week's prompt was as random as it could be and yet the responses were inspiring and creative. My personal favorite was Luke's although I hate having to deal with a dead mouse. The story liked most was the poem written by Sandra. If you haven't already read her Friday Fiction, do so now. :) (Caution: Proceed only if you are 18+ ;) ) This week's prompt is -22 Mar Story Continuation Challenge Prompt 3

22 Mar Chimpu’s Tales
Chimpu, an inquisitive but adorable baby monkey, lived with his family and friends in the dense jungles outside the city. His best friends were Jumbo, a big, fat elephant and Pinky, a thoughtful woodpecker. They would often play in the evenings when Pinky and Jumbo would come home from their day’s task of searching for food. During the day, Chimpu was often alone and would play all by himself. He was always running around here and there, scampering up and down the trees, plucking flowers and fruits, and making noises. Chimpu was also very mischievous and even played pranks on his neighbours. All the animals in the jungle loved Chimpu for his innocent antics. They also knew that he would always hide away in the cedar tree if he had been naughty. All the animals loved Chimpu a lot and they always laughed at his cute, innocent pranks and loved him even more each time.
16 Mar Enjoying the Ride called ‘Life’
I've been super busy these past few days. So much so that even my father was surprised that despite being jobless, I was juggling so many things at the same time. It led him to tease me by saying, "You have too much on your...
