This is just going to be a quick post. Years ago I started a short story reading project called Short Story 365. It was set up as a group blog with invited contributors. The goal was to read a short story a day and post a quick thought about it. Many hundreds of short stories were mentioned over the course of that year. For 2024 I’m going to try and read 365 short stories. For accountability, I’m going to post a round up of the stories I read. I probably won’t post thoughts, that seems to work better in the Short Thoughts on Short Fiction space, but a log entry. Enough rambling.
