As I began to dabble in writing short stories, I stumbled upon the concept of Drabbles. A Drabble is like a pocket-sized burst of creativity! It’s a super short story, only 100 words long, that’s all about capturing big emotions and exciting ideas in its tiny frame. Think of it as a fun writing challenge that packs a punch, inviting you to tell a complete tale in just a handful of words. Drabbles are like little literary gems that sparkle with imagination, making them a great way to hone your storytelling skills and spread smiles in a bite-sized package on my author website!
Crafting a complete story in just one hundred words may seem daunting, but it provides an excellent opportunity to improve and streamline one’s writing abilities.
This collection of anthologies showcases some of my work, featuring both short stories and Drabbles. Links are provided below, but you can also visit my Amazon author page here.
