Jimmy, hope you are feeling like you have climbed a mountain and enjoyed the effort. I know we as your family have enjoyed the step by step with you. I always love your anthropomorphic aspect of every story. The humanity you delight in sharing. Love all of your complex adventures you give to our day in just a three minute read! Thank you ...
Thank you for being part of it Carol. You just made me a little teary eyed. And I'm in a punk bar in Hamtramck, Michigan,where people usually only cry when the fog machine goes overboard. ♥️
I love the milestone. Also got to say, I like the re-dedication to writing found at the bottom of the piece. Like that 1000% percent. Got to try and stay in the deep end. Don't I know it? I am writing 1000's of words a week right now. My muse is using me like a toy. I have a headache and a neckache and it's supposed to be my day off.
Just found you and, man, where have you been?! This is the kind of short fiction I die for! This was such a riveting story and it took such a wild unexpected turn out of nowhere. Truly, a masterpiece. I can't wait to check out more.
Thanks Jeff! I've been publishing on Substack since Aug 21 2020. Took a 6 day break with a brutal bout of COVID. That's it. Published every other day. Trying to get my paid subscribers up to a livable number especially now that my acting gigs are on hold due to the WGA strike.
Wow that's inspiring! I just started a bit over a month ago, and my favorite part of Substack is finding obscure authors that are epic writers like yourself. I can't wait to see more from you.
Also I saw you subbed to me, you just happen to be my 30th subscriber! I am giving a free comped premium membership to my 30th, 50th and 100th subscriber. Congrats on being the first to win that!
Keep writing💯. I’m about 990 behind you. Watch your tail.
Gotta find more subscribers. The growth rate is disheartening. The material, time, sacrifice is there.
Preach.
That was epic. A 1000 on the ten scale. I felt it as a mother and teacher in a district of immigrants and refugees.
I wish my assistants who supplied the translation for parachute could read it, but I think it's too complex for their reading levels.
I trust you to give them the Vikki's Notes version

As far as I’m concerned, your total output has finally matched your batting average. Another fantastic voyage into everyday life. Thank you.
Thanks for the support over the years. I hope I can churn out more winners
This was tense and vivid. As always, fantastic work.
Thanks. I wrote it overlooking a park full of kids from Yemen and Bangladesh.
❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗
Visceral, brutal, excellent. Well done, an awesome thousandth entry.
Thanks. I felt it. I still do. Very happy that it translated to the page.
Please share the damn thing, will ya ?
Once again, wow.
Thanks. I hope I have hundreds more wows in me.
What a roll. 1000 stories - and all originals.
That is really something!
#1000 is quite the heavy hitter.
Excellent job on it.
Anger, hatred, evil, mental.
Sometimes I want to throw up 'liking' an evil post, but that's the world we live in.
This was definitely a disturbing story of our time.
The attention to detail never ceases to amaze.
Here's to the next 1000!
It's an evil world. But you can accomplish good in it. I know you know that.
On to 1001
Light always shines brightest in darkness.
As you well know, life is what you make of it.
Keep it up!
If life is what I make it I need to take some clay that looks like money 😎
Well, I have read of an artist who traded $6 bills he drew for services.
Dafoe is brilliant as the artist/ counterfeiter in To Live and Die in LA
I'll have to put that on my to watch list
Thanks, Joe

Writers never get a day off. The gears in the head are always turning. And when I type that I hear Steve Perry's voice. Ouch.
1000!!!
After Ripken broke the record what happened. Didn't he play the rest of the homestand then sit the first away game?
Wow, 1000 was a doozy. I usually read a few at a time, but I’m definitely gonna have to pause after that one and probably reread it a few times.
Hopefully it will be like chili: better the second day.
