This page links to my short stories, organized by year. I am encouraged that Ray Bradbury wrote one story a week and it only took him ten years to really get the hang of it. I'm writing one story every two weeks. That takes me about an hour a day, on average. I started writing in 2012. So by my calculations, you can start reading the good stuff in 2031.
WARNING: Any of the following stories may contain strong language, sexual situations, graphic violence, gross inaccuracies, obvious errors, snarkiness, robots versus kung fu, the explosive demolition of a stone golem, aliens, scary monsters, clowns, and Frank Zappa. Some stories may not be unread. /YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
Short stories written in 2012
These first 10 stories are based on ideas given to my by my friends. The ideas could be a single word, an image, or up to a paragraph of text. Point being, writing on a random topic is a good way to learn to write to any old topic. I list a link to the story, the idea as given to me (or shortened in a few cases, the genre I would put the story in, and the person who gave me the idea, to whom the story is dedicated.

I am currently writing ten of my own short stories, which I'll post all at once before the end of the year, as they have basically all merged into one big story. When I'm done with that I'll probably start in on stories for friends again, because that was a lot of fun, too.
