She opens her bleary eyes wide and stares at the screen.
A few words that she types are savagely deleted, yet again.
Something had to be done immediately, she sighs.
A re-look at her earlier draft brings a smile.
Yes, this should bring her back into the limelight from her last six minutes of fame.

I guess that’s the story of most is us in the writing fraternity. I always feel amazed at the way you manage to bring out so much depth in so few words.
Amazing I am impressed by the way of your writing ! Well done
Reinstating ones worth in the chosen field is so darn tough and frustrating too. Hope she succeeds.
Great well done 🙂
It’s hard to follow a successful act time after time.
Maybe a cluster of such six-minute-fames would bring a lasting fame to her, who knows! 🙂 Good one, Shilpa. 🙂
It’s the WordPress gremlins at work.
Ah a story of us bloggers too 🙂
Oh can relate to it. Specially right now:)
Success does seem to be possessive and addictive. Another wonder from your sack of surprises!
beautiful wordings
6 minutes are enough for writers . No one can understand it better than us. Isn’t?
This sounds so relatable for a writer in me.
Rwally like the way you say so much in few words.
Interesting read on the given prompt. May her wish come true.
who knows a 6 minutes fame can change her life also!! Small words with an in-depth thought!
I am a fan of yours for the way you express so much in such less words.
Beautifully penned as always! Concise yet deeply evocative.
I have to say there is a true point here… In today’s day and age, we don’t even get 15 minute sof fame… Around 6 is all we get. Then it is about trying back into the limelight once more
‘Six minutes of fame’ a story that touches every writer’s sensitive spots. The expression is the asset that every good writer possess.
How true and deep is, felt it straight in the heart ♥️
It is the story of any writer who is racing against a deadline. In fact, a daily routine for many journalists.
Challenges faced by a writer!
Drafts come to the rescue 🙂
This happens many times. Looking back at old write up gives inspiration for the new one.
