Reena’s Exploration Challenge – Week 47

Welcome to Week 47! Writers love exploring inner worlds, which is but their unique reflection on the outer world.

And if we are just blocks of a structure, or … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge – Week 47

Backgrounds

PROMPT RESPONSE It’s not about flaunting a higher intellect. It’s not about skipping the bits and bytes of a story. It is just about simplifying a complex network of thoughts, sounds and deeds into an easily digestible, small capsule. Then, why does abstraction put me off?
