Starting tomorrow my Daily Dose of Empathy feature will change. Until now it has been a very brief comment about a short story that I have rated as five out of five stars with a link to the story. Since not all the short stories I read are five stars, I have come close to running out. So going forward I will be writing a longer (but still relatively brief) review of every short story I read with a link to read the story for yourself.
I have also been publishing a review of each short fiction magazine that I read. I have included brief summaries and ratings for each story. I will also no longer be doing that as it will become a repeat of my daily posts. I will continue to publish a review of every book I read, excluding any collections or anthologies as the stories in those will be published daily.
So far, this website/blog has been an exercise I started and continue for myself. I hope to improve my writing and create a repository of the stories I read so that I can go back and find them when one comes to mind. One thing that will continue is the searchable tables (short fiction read and speculative fiction index). I hope you find it useful as well.
