Hello my friend,
Welcome to another edition of Simpler Sundays by VyasSpeaks.
I know this one is terribly late. But I was traveling the entire day. And as usual, I hadn’t finalized the design in advance even though the script was ready.
So, after reaching home late at night, I designed the post and I’m now sending it, a few hours later than usual.
But I hope the post would be valuable and interesting for you to read.
By the way, before we talk about the featured post, did you try the Threads app? Zuckerberg’s answer to Twitter became an instant hit as it amassed 100 million followers within just 2 days, a new record.
Truth be told though, it was because of the Instagram integration where users didn’t have to create a new account but they could simply transfer all their data as well as followers from Instagram. So, not sure if the hype around the quick growth was worth it.
Also, Threads now seems to be falling as quickly from people’s attention as quickly it rose. A lesson there maybe?
Anyhow, no matter what anyone thinks, I kind of like the app. Mostly because it’s a simple text-based app where I can share my writings without having to create reels or even create carousels.
What about you though? Have you tried the Threads app? If yes, you can follow me. Just search for “VyasSpeaks” on the app.
Now, let’s talk about this week’s featured post. Today, I am sharing a short story that I actually wrote for a story contest hosted by the platform MyndStories.
Not sure, if the story will win but I tried my best. Fiction writing is definitely not my strong suit but I gave it a shot.
Let me know what you think.
I was thinking of not venturing into fiction writing anymore. But what do you think? Do you think I should keep trying fiction writing?
Also, just like last time, there’s an affiliate section. If you subscribe to Morning Brew, you would be doing a huge favor by supporting Simpler Sundays. I want to keep Simpler Sundays forever free and to do that, the best way to support this publication is by putting sponsored sections.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy reading the story.
