This site: Word Plus One is an experiment in very short stories, called “micro fiction” or “flash fiction”.
Starting November 1, 2006, I will write a new story every day for a year. Each day, the number of words in the story will increase by exactly one. Yes, the first story is only one word long. If your attention span is anything like mine, this is great!
After the year is up, perhaps I will start over again at one.
I would really like to hear what you think about the stories, so please feel free to add your comments!

Me: My name is Frank Pape. Professionally, I am a software engineer. Personally, I think of myself as more reader than writer, though I’d like to challenge myself to bridge that gap a little. Hence this site!
I have an infrequently-updated personal site, and you can feel free to email me at frankp (at) gmail (dot) com.

Hi Frank,
I just wanted to say thanks for the comment. I hope you don’t mind if I re-post your stories at Adventures. I very much enjoy them and I’m pleased that I ran across you site…though I don’t quite remember how I got here. Shrug - that’s the joy of the internet.
Cheers,
Jalynn
