Introduction

The 365 Stories Project started off as a challenge. A challenge to write a short story, usually under 1000 words, every day for a full year.

As the first week passed, writing every morning got to be routine and now I find that, in addition to being challenging, it is also a way to steal some relaxation first thing in the morning.

I hope that you continue to follow the blog and read the stories as they come out.

The theory behind it is that one story is posted on the blog each day and each month will become an ebook. A paperback version containing all of the stories will be released when the project is finished. This particular volume contains the stories posted between December 16th, 2010 and January 15th 2011.

Enjoy!
