Sometimes, you just want to let your brain fart and say do what it wants. This category is basically my brain’s toilet.

Selective Accountability
I was walking around the street doing my usual morning routine. I held an old umbrella on my hand, and I looked up at the sunny sky and thought about opening my umbrella to protect myself from the sun. I clicked on the button that automatically opened the umbrella, then I heard a quick snap. … Continue reading Selective Accountability
Momentum Build-up
One thing I've always dismissed when building habits is momentum. When atomic habits and momentum combine, habits will increment in size and in scope. Building the right habits with the right scope usually is a daunting task, but with small incremental steps and leveraging momentum it's so easy. However, I've also noticed that when the … Continue reading Momentum Build-up
Short Story Drought
It's hard to read when the story you're reading is boring as fuck. It's not captivating. It's not entertaining. What really troubles me is when the paragraphs are way too fucking long. I don't want to read those kinds of paragraphs because they're so tiring to look at. Why not make them into bite sized … Continue reading Short Story Drought

Learning from Writing Prompts?!
So, this would be the beginning of my literature review as I planned on SSW Doc #2. It's going to be simple since I don't know if I'm able to be consistent in these reviews.

SSW Doc #2: Learning from other Literature
After a long break, I finally got my stride to write short stories again. Well, not exactly. I’ve never really written enough for the month of May, but I think I can make it up for June. Honestly, I’m in no rush at all. I feel totally in control of my output. For this week, … Continue reading SSW Doc #2: Learning from other Literature
Canned Sardines
No matter where I’ll end up in the future. Be it successful or in poverty. I would never forget the taste of canned sardines. Why? It’s the reason I’m still alive right now. One of the cheapest food sources out there. And, a reliable one at that too. It’s not good for everyday consumption – … Continue reading Canned Sardines
Brother’s Meltdown
I woke up in the middle of the night by some weird sound coming from the back of the house. I sat up, rubbed my eyes, and focused all my attention on the noise that broke my sleep. Someone was crying. Did something bad happen? Wanting to know, I got out of my bed and … Continue reading Brother’s Meltdown
