The short uncategorized stories you post for us, caters perfectly to my attention deficit disorder. Brief, interesting and well written fiction. You're a very prolific writer that produces consistent thought provoking stories. No need for an apology or a heads up.
I’m biased, of course, but I’m so glad you’re continuing to write. The stories, the characters, and their worlds just get better and better. Your skills improve and we benefit from your gift of storytelling.
Your stories have taken me down alleys, into places and introduced me to so many characters. I have enjoyed meeting and traveling with all these people and places as they are mostly out of my cookie jar. Thank you and keep up your secret recipes that invite us to the dessert table everyday.
Obviously, that can be said of many, but out of the ordinary, come the extraordinary.
Something I meant to do when I first began reading your works, but failed from the get-go, was to catalogue each of your stories.
You are correct when you claim they almost defy categorizing, but since we live in a digital age, we can easily create a compendium by date written, age (juvenile, teen, mature, NSF), subject matter (human interest, lifestyle, choices, struggles) nature, etc.
Naturally, some lists would be longer than others, but the reader could choose, based on their choices to create a list - even a random order list, aka by date!
I wouldn't advise you trying this yourself, as you have enough on your plate already - just keep cranking them out and let the historians collect and order the chips where they have fallen. Those 'guys' are the experts on lists!
You definitely get the award for Most Prolific Short Story Writer.
Congratulations and All the Best for the next 877!
ps: don't discount this "A Note from Me" as it is a story on it's own and would make a great forward to one of your books
Enjoy analyzing structure and character and setting interaction. Retired English teacher in me finds enjoyable challenge, more fun than crosswords now I’m 86. Also a Detroiter to start.
Love this. 9/10 people (including me) would have imposed arbitrary, unhelpful, whimsy-destroying categories to hold a collection like this as a way to self-soothe anxiety. You definitely made the right call.
I've only read a bit of your work, but I liked this little heads up piece. Likening your page to an old bookstore seems perfect. I will surely be back to wander through the stacks.

One of your characteristics is that you don't get in a rut

Jimmy, you are impressive.

Found you on Notes. Just started a paid sub. Excited about it.
I aspire to be as buttery with words as this... Thank you for the gift of stories, digging in...
