Incredible benefits of your common kitchen find- GARLIC
Yes, we are talking about garlic. In India, it is called “lehsuna” whereas its scientific name is Allium sativum. Certain people are already aware of how beneficial it could be for their bodies. That’s why they consume it on a routine basis, either in the form of 1-2 raw cloves orally or by adding their paste to their everyday meals.

Hear ye! Hear ye!. Top Story - July 2024.
TL/DR at the bottom, following this symbol "-0-" With a sound like the ringing of tiny bells, a horseman approaches the town. Heads turn as he passes, attention caught by the speed and clamour. A gentle sound, despite the speed of his horse, a sound that calls all passersby to pay attention. To gather round him on the village green and listen to his decree.

Hannah's Challenge Results. Top Story - July 2024.
It has been a quiet busy week here in at Chez Hannah. No, not quite a busy week. A quiet busy week. One where none of us had too much on individually, but together, it added up to a lot. On Monday, July commenced, marking the end of Hannah's challenge, quite before I was ready to take action to judge it, because on Tuesday, after working day was over, my daughter returned to school to give guided tours into the evening on their open day, and on Wednesday, we all got up at half past four to pack my son onto the school minibus to travel 160 miles up the country and 160 miles back down to represent his school in a Warhammer tournament. On Thursday, the UK went to the voting booths in near record breaking numbers, with only one lower turnout since 1885, and on Friday my parents, who live an hour away, phoned to say they thought they would come to visit for the weekend. "That's lovely," I said, "what time will I expect you?" It was 10.16 in the morning of my day off, and in the spirit of mutual accountability, my partner and I had not long sat down side by side, he to do an urgent piece of administrative work for his paid employment, and I to read a couple of dozen pieces of uplifting writing.

Calling All Music Lovers!. Top Story - July 2024.
Time to try one of these unofficial challenges out, if you guys would have me! Here's the prompt: Choose your favorite or one of your favorite albums or songs of all time and write about why it's so important to you. You can take any approach; delve into the lyrics, the instrumentals, the production, or just the way it makes you feel and why. Easy, simple, and fun. Really sell it to me! It can be as long or short as you want, word count doesn't matter to me.

Gold Stars and Losing Streaks
This week marks 26 weeks of consistent writing, a streak that is exactly half a year long. Except it doesn’t. Somehow, between weeks 24 and 26, I missed a deadline or something because even though I published a piece every week- whether it was a poem, an essay, a chapter from my book, or just a little blurb- I got an email saying congratulations on your ONE WEEK STREAK.

Loving This: Reflections on "A Story Every Day" So Far (June Edition)
The Nuts & Bolts As of the last day in June: it's now 182 days in to the yearlong Story Every Day challenge, which started on 1st January. Halfway there, as of 1st July! Still in it! I've posted a short story every day this year so far. My word count for June: 13,726. That's a little less than average for me. It includes all my micros, (sans the authors note), my look back at May, challenge entries, updates on my unofficial Fucked Up Fairytales challenge, musings about the 3am challenge, a recipe, and a review. Stats: My monthly peak at my stats shows that my read count has gone up a bit, but still not at the peak it was a few months ago. Reads: Busted past the 11k mark in June, so there's that. My most-read , most-liked story in June was story #157, "I am Jack's Tumour". It's not actually very well read, or very well-liked; it's on page seven of the stats. Top Stories: Only two this month! Jack's Tumour was the first one, then #172, The Syrup Dream. Sleeping Beauty was published on the 30th, but not made top story until a day or two later, so it should probably be in my July count.

An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.
