Here are the last few days of my #AStoryADay March 2024 challenge. As a reminder, the goal of all of this is to be exposed to stories I might not have otherwise come across – to experience new (to me) writers (though I’ll also do “not new to me writers but new to me storiesContinue reading “A Story a Day: March 29-31, 2024”

A Story a Day: March 22-28, 2024
Here is week four of my #AStoryADay March 2024 challenge. As a reminder, the goal of all of this is to be exposed to stories I might not have otherwise come across – to experience new (to me) writers (though I’ll also do “not new to me writers but new to me stories of theirs”).Continue reading “A Story a Day: March 22-28, 2024”

A Story a Day: March 1-7, 2024
In 2022, I made a goal (and met it!) to read a new story every single day for the entire year. It was a lovely experience, but it was a LOT of work to put together. Thus, I decided not to repeat it for 2023. Though as the year went on, I found I missedContinue reading “A Story a Day: March 1-7, 2024”
#AStoryADay
It feels like only a couple months ago when I sat down and decided that my goal for 2022 would be to a read a short story every single day. In all honesty, when I made that decision, I wasn’t fully sure I could last the whole year. Surely, I’d lose steam. Or I’d loseContinue reading “#AStoryADay”
A Story A Day: Month Twelve
For this month, I chose (kind of) at random stories from the Friday Flash Fiction series by Tin House, the “the singular lovechild of an eclectic literary journal and a beautiful glossy magazine” that got its start in 1999. I say ‘kind of’ because I scrolled through their list and chose any story that IContinue reading “A Story A Day: Month Twelve”
A Story a Day: Month Eleven
For this month, I chose (kind of) at random stories from Granta (I ended up needing to purchase a subscription to finish reading Month Three, so thought I’d use them again), the literary quarterly from Cambridge University. I say ‘kind of’ because I scrolled through their list and chose any story that I came acrossContinue reading “A Story a Day: Month Eleven”
A Story a Day: Month Ten
For this month, I chose at random stories by LGBT+ writers in honor of October being LGBT History Month. I found them through google searches looking first for LGBT+ writers, then for LGBT+ specific literary journals. As with the previous nine months, I have no idea what these stories are about – the goal isContinue reading “A Story a Day: Month Ten”
1,000,000 Words
Normally, I have no idea how many words I read in a year because I don’t track them. I’m also not someone who usually sets goals for reading because I’ve never needed an incentive to do it (plus, my life isn’t consistent in its chaos, so it’s hard to know what I can feasibly accomplishContinue reading “1,000,000 Words”
