I love reading and writing short stories! I remember taking writing classes in college and loving the assignments, and even listening to each student read their story!  The most amazing part is how every person views things so differently and writes it in a way you would have never imagined.  I read this story, “My Little Jewel,” this morning. It is a sweet story about a girl and a unicorn. It’s a fantasy type story and it’s very sweet. I remember loving unicorns when I was younger.

You should check out Weekly Shorts! You can read or participate in the stories. You are asked to leave a name, gender (human or not) and the genre of stories you enjoy most. The author then writes a 1000 (or so) short story and posts it!  At the end of the story you are thanked and there is a link added to your blog.  This has been going on since Aug. 07.  The goal is to compile fifty or more stories to make into a book.  I think I’m going to head over and give it a try.  You should too!
