    Hello all, I got a job on the outside so I can’t write a story every week like I would like to. However the story will be written, I just can’t give a definite time. I just completed the story suggested by Iron Man collectibles. I will try to write something every two weeks. Please understand but I do promise your story will be written. Don’t let this defer you from submitting ideas, the idea box is always open and I love writing the Weekly Shorts stories and this is something I won’t stop doing.

    Thanks for understanding and keep those ideas coming.

    [...] Weekly Shorts is a blog/site that tells short stories. Well, they are short but I like reading them. It’s nice to see stories that are not so long. First, I really don’t read books. And second, I only read those of horror, mystery, fantasy and sometimes those involves history. I think it would be nice to have such stories compiled in one book, like all short horror stories in one book Anyway, I have read this “The Fisherman’s Daughter” story by J Scott. The story is about a lady who is to marry a prince who she doesn’t love. And friendship with someone of different race have sacrificed for her happiness. It’s a nice story. And I think teens would love those kinds of stories by the way. [...]
