Welcome to the blog tour of
The Story A Day May Collection
by Morgen Bailey
This collection was written from a variety of prompts supplied by storyaday.org and originally published on Morgen’s blog (morgenbailey.wordpress.com – where you can still read the list of prompts), during May 2011, 2012, and 2013.
In this book there are stories of revenge, overcoming obstacles, newfound and lost love, shopping, chocolate, legends of history, and the occasional alien or two.
We have crimes afoot, writer’s block, characters with and without friends, homages, humans and non-humans, scratches, squeaks and barks.
From Chelsea buns to casseroles, we share the highs and lows, but the stories all go to show what can be done with a prompt, a few hours, and a colourful imagination.
This is the first book of its kind I have come across and I was intrigued to see what type of short stories were within and how well Morgen was able to take a fresh writing prompt each day (from storyaday.org) and turn them into their own unique short stories and flash fiction snippets.
What a fun read! The stories are fully rounded, varied and fun quick reads, which cover several genres, so there is something for everyone. Not only does Morgen Bailey offer a unique anthology of exciting short reads, one could argue she also proves her ability to keep churning out creative stories in response to daily writing prompts with imaginative and flexible flair!
I feel like I’ve just had a peek inside this talented author’s innovative mind and enjoyed every minute of it!
