With over 3000 short stories posted, storystar.com ranks my Dolly in the number seven spot. I have said I write because I enjoy sharing my work with other. In the last ten days, over 500 people have read Dolly. That’s what I call sharing.

I’m overjoyed with the response from sharing short stories on storystar.com.
In the last ten days, over 500 people have read my stories with a welcome number of feel-good comments. One, Karen, was selected as story star of the day, and Dolly still reigns as non-fiction story star of the week. My latest real life story, It’s the Culture, Stupid has been up for one day and already has 50 readers. All rated at 5 star.
If like me, you are not writing for the money, but because you enjoy sharing your thoughts and writing with others––you might also enjoy the feedback you realize from storystar.com. It’s a great morale booster and a place to let others read your writing and for you to read theirs; from people like you, to the classic writers.
Now after a blissful distraction for two days, it’s time to get back to The Goldlisters of Panama. I am making some progress.
I opened the home page of storystar.com this morning to find my fictional piece “Karen” has been named “Story of the day.” Scrolling down, I was more surprised to find my short memoir piece, “Dolly,” named story of the week.
When you’re ready for a break, this is a good source for short stories. Hundreds of options, easy to find one you like. I often read to Carol from here.

I posted my short story, Karen, on storystar.com four days ago and have had 85 viewings with a 4.3 average star rating. Feel Good.
I needed another short break from my Historical Fiction: Goldlisters of Panama, so I ventured into the world of flash fiction (under 1000 words) with a revision of a piece I did a few years ago. It felt good to complete a project in a few days. Karen was inspired by Carol’s favorite movie of all time, Out of Africa. Hope you enjoy it.
