Welcome to Sonder.
This is legit just a collection of short stories that I've been writing every week because of a quote by Ray Bradbury:
"Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row."
I've been doing this for a little while now, and in celebration of 100 followers, I decided I'd publish them! Yay! They're gonna suck :)
I've been doing pretty good so far, but I have missed one week and I just left that story unfinished (I'll get to it eventually, I think).
Quick note on how this will work:
I'll try and upload each story with the chapter name being the week and the title of the story. If I miss a week, I'll make a placeholder chapter so that in the event that I eventually finish the story for that week, I can post it in the proper order.
ALSO, don't steal other people's writing because that's just shitty. K thanks for not being a douchebag :) Plus, stealing means you're risking some legal troubles, so you may as well save yourself the trouble, yeah? Yeah. Don't steal.
Go forth and read, my lovely readers.

(PS - I chose this title because like it's a lil glimpse into the lives of these characters. I'm so tumblr right lol nah)

Hey everyone!
I started this collection of stories way back when in 2016, and stuck with writing short stories every week for about 27 weeks (though I missed a lot of weeks in between). Considering it's now summer and I have some more free time, I think I'll start it back up!
Here's how Sonder is laid out, for those who are starting it now:
The book is going to be split into 2 parts: Part One and Part Two. Each of these parts indicates which attempt/time the stories are from (as well as some additional information for my own use). Part One is the first attempt, and Part Two will be the second attempt. If I end up not sticking with it the second time around, this will also allow me to go for a Part Three/third attempt. But hopefully that won't be necessary. It probably will be, but let's just ignore that for the time being.
The ultimate goal here is to write one short story every week for a year, and by that point, I'll have 52 short stories that hopefully won't suck!
Anyway. We'll see how this plays out.
Hope you enjoy!
