Valentine’s Day Story Collection 2019

Hello readers and friends,

Thank you for sticking around here with me. Here’s a small bundle of two romantic stories that are set to satisfy the romantic in you.

1. First up is THE CRICKET’S LOVE SONG: A story about a cricket who gets lost only to find true love away from his home. Inspired by the chirping of crickets at a dark lonely bus stop, this short story will warm your heart even on the coldest of nights.
   Available on Wattpad: THE CRICKET’S LOVE SONG.
2. Up next is a vignette short story I wrote for a Romance Wattpad contest, THE NIGHT THAT BEGAN FOREVER: The day when James swept Sue off her feet and out on the perfect date to somewhere absolutely romantic.
   Available on Wattpad: THE NIGHT THAT BEGAN FOREVER.

That’s it, guys. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, EVERYONE! Wishing you all the love in the world.

Love,

Happy New Year 2019!

It’s official. 2018 is gone! Fireworks are blaring outside my window and shooting up over skyscrapers. What a wonderful year of ups and downs and I’ve got all of you to thank for joining me on this journey.

It’s the first day of 2019 and the year has already greeted me with brand new waves of inspiration and challenges.

In this past year of 2018, I fell into the wonderful world of poetry and have been loving the creative challenge of putting the images and emotions in my head into artful expressive stanzas. If you’re interested in my poetry, please check it out right here.

However this year, I’m hoping to return to my storytelling roots. So look out 2019, there will be stories coming your way. Don’t fret though, poetry lovers. There’ll still be plenty of poetry coming for you.

Updates will be a little slow as writing might take a back seat due to the personal challenges 2019 has already thrown me. Not just writing challenges, but also challenges at home. Despite all this, I still believe that this year holds just as much promise for hope as the last. So let’s raise our glasses to the beginning of another very fruitful year. Happy New Year and God bless you all.

Yours truly,

Haunting Angel

Just A Little Update

Hi everyone,

I know I’ve been rather quiet for awhile. This was because my laptop broke and am borrowing someone’s computer for very limited time each day to work on what I do. Also, these offline period has gotten me more inspired to go into a slightly different direction with my stories. So thank you all for your patience. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year until I come back.

Yours truly,

Angel

Happy Deepavali 2018

Comeback Update

Hi everyone,

Hope you’re all doing fine. Thank you for being so patient. As you have known, it was a long time since my last post…. but I’m back.

Thank you all for being with my on this writing journey. God has blessed me well while I was away. Short update: The Cricket’s Love Song was long-listed for the #Wattys2018 awards but didn’t make it into the short list. That’s okay. Making it into the long list was already very much a reward. Congratulations, 2018 Wattys Shortlisters. Best of luck for the next round.

Being away from writing this long has definitely given me some new perspectives and time to think about what I’ve been doing. So stay tuned and I’ll be back very soon with something for you.

Cheers,

Angel

Thank you *high five!*

I can’t believe it! THE CRICKET’S LOVE SONG is on the Wattys 2018 longlist. There were 151,767 entries this year and this story made it to the top 784 in the longlist. Even without getting into the shortlist or winning, this in itself will be a memorable achievement in my writing journey.

If you haven’t checked this story out, please do. This young cricket will definitely appreciate your company in his wild journey of finding true love.

That’s all folks. Thank you all so so much and see you next time. God bless you all.

 

Attention, readers

Hi everyone,

Thank you for stopping by this blog. As some of you might have noticed, I have not posted anything for awhile. This is because a family member of mine has fallen sick with a disease and I am having to deal with a sudden increase in responsibilities at home. To those of you who are into praying, please pray for her to get better. I’d very much like to return to creating stories and poems for you all to enjoy. So please follow or bookmark this blog for further updates. Thanks again, God bless, and have a nice day! 🙂

Yours truly,

Angel

Walking under moonlight

I take a walk on the garden path,
a beautiful moonlit night.
The day’s troubles all forgotten,
a walk makes everything right.

Birds rest in their nests,
tired after day long journey.
In a honeycomb on a treetop,
the bees stop making honey.

Cold fragrant breeze slowly blows,
and water ripples in the lily pond.
I breathe the air smelling of roses,
and see the swaying marigolds.

The moon dances in the pond,
Wow! What a beautiful sight!
Silence of night broken by
the echo of bright moonlight.
