« She had no shame | Main | Dotty the Dolphin »

Welcome to my short stories blog

I'VE been here before, trying to find time to work on this stuff, to get a decent number together, to seek out feedback and more knowledge about how this writing short stories malarkey works.

But I felt embarrassed by my attempts so far and put them out of sight and out of mind. This is another go.

There is only one story I am happy with - you can see that above - She had no shame. All of the others are works in progress and I have more ideas bubbling under.

I want my stories to be fun, to raise a smile, to be down to earth, to portray so-called "ordinary" men and women who can find humour or inspiration in every day situations. These are characters, the likes of whom I know and love as friends and family.

I hope you love them too.*

*All feedback gratefully received. Honest.

Yay! Well done you for getting your stories out here for us all to see! I love She had no Shame, as well you know, and look forward to reading more of your stuff.

I was just about to write you and say what the hell are you wasting your time posting your stories on the internet for, when you should be going about finding a publisher for them...and then i scrolled to the right and saw that you are, indeed, a real writer. congratulations. you know your way with words.
best...

About Linda Jones

  • I am the director of a small Midlands agency contributing features to the national media as well as commercial writing work.

    I am also a media trainer and experienced newspaper editor.

    My book, The Greatest Freelance Writing Tips in the World, was published in October 2007 and Divorce, The Essential Guide for Parents, will be published in the autumn of 2008.

    The stories on these pages are a work in progress.

    Some are entirely for fun. Some will be for children and some for grown-ups. The adult ones are part of a collection I would like to call "I wish my wife was this dirty."

    But I don't want you to get the wrong idea about me!

    The characters in these stories are strong, loving, humourous women. I hope you like them.

    ***Do not read these stories if you are offended by content of a sexual nature/strong language.***

A quick note on comments!

  • I love it when people tell me that something here made them laugh and I appreciate all feedback.

    Because these stories are works in progress, I welcome all comments, however frank or "constructive."

    Comments are not only welcome but positively encouraged! As earlier versions of some of these stories have seen the light of day previously on a blog about family life, I have carried over some of the comments originally posted there too.

    Thank you for dropping by.
