Hi, to answer your questions... I'm a reader not a writer, though sometimes I think I'd like to try. I'm here because I enjoy reading, but these days I spend too much time on the internet instead, so your short story a day inspired me to make an effort to change that. I won't commit to reading every story because I know I won't manage it, but I intend to read as many as I can. I'm looking forward to your posts because I'm interested in how stories work, even if I don't write myself... who knows maybe it will encourage me to do so :)

I am so excited to have you along for the ride! And you will learn a lot about stories, and sometimes learning a lot about a thing makes you want to do it...

Hi! I’m so excited about this! I’m a reader not a writer but maybe reading these stories will inspire me! I really want to read a story a day but realistically as a wife, mother and full time teacher that may not happen. I’m thinking about keeping a reading journal for this. If nothing else, it will keep me off Twitter! Looking forward to the journey 😀

Hi Natalie, Thank you so much for coming along! Even reading one or two stories a month is a wonderful way to be on this journey. A reading journal sounds amazing! I've made a PDF (included in this post) and will make one every month for all subscribers. I am excited to hear about your progress and I hope that you do become inspired to write, even if it's not short stories.
