For this month, I wanted to read fairy tales and folklore from other countries (aside from one that is New Orleans based but is about voodoo). I found the stories below through the World Mythology and Folklore website. As with the previous four months, I have no idea what these stories are about – theContinue reading “A Story a Day: Month Five”

A Story a Day: Month Four
For this month, I wanted to read stories specifically by disabled writers. I found the stories below by searching for literary journals that accepted only stories from such authors. As with the previous three months, I have no idea what these stories are about – the goal is simply to experience new writing. Feel freeContinue reading “A Story a Day: Month Four”
Big Day
I generally only post on Fridays, but today was a good day – and in a time where those can feel rare, I thought I’d break my schedule for these moments. The first big moment came this morning when I sat down to read my story – today marks day 90 of my #365Stories #AStoryADayContinue reading “Big Day”
A Story a Day: Month Three
For this month, I chose (kind of) at random stories from Granta, the literary quarterly from Cambridge University, something I’d stumbled upon in my search for stories. I say ‘kind of’ because I scrolled through their list and chose any story that I came across – but skipped over the excerpts because I wanted stand-aloneContinue reading “A Story a Day: Month Three”
A Story a Day: Month Two

Feel free to read along! “Anything Could Disappear” by Danielle Evans “Drinking Coffee Elsewhere” by ZZ Packer “The Era” byContinue reading “A Story a Day: Month Two”
Slow Mornings
I’m sure I’ve written somewhere about the joy of slow mornings that I’ve been experiencing the last couple years. How I actually eat breakfast. Every day. How I drink coffee every morning now, too. (Though that was still generally done while working.) I didn’t used to take time in the morning for such things –Continue reading “Slow Mornings”
A Story a Day: Month One
I went back and forth when picking stories for this month. I was trying to decide whether I’d allow myself to reread any stories – or if they had to be 365 brand new stories. I finally decided that I wanted this to be all brand experiences for me. If I opt to reread anything,Continue reading “A Story a Day: Month One”
A Resolution?
Traditionally, I’m not one for making resolutions. I’m not big on “starting fresh” just because I swap the calendar that hangs in my kitchen. According to several articles I’ve read, studies show that only 8% of people keep their New Years Resolutions all year long. (I should note these articles didn’t provide citations for saidContinue reading “A Resolution?”
