After a Summer teaching a Bible Survey Class at my church, I’ve decided I need a break from some non-fiction and informational reading/writing. So, I’ll be participating in StoryADay September, an annual event in which participants challenge themselves to write and finish a story on a set schedule throughout the month. Each weekday, I will be posting an original piece of fiction as part of this event. Check back here for the full list of stories as I complete them, every weekday in September. You can read more about why I’m doing this and why i think it’s important for people the read more fiction here.
