I like stories with plots. My short stories are often inspired by something I've heard or seen that for some reason tickles my imagination. A certain light-hearted humor appeals to me, and I try to convey that in my stories. I use dialog as much as I can, having my characters 'tell' their own story. I tend to use a conversational style, including colloquialisms, sentence fragments, etc. In other words, I break the 'rules' of grammar if I think that it sounds more like the way we speak or think.
I'm very impressed at how many readers will take the time to vote, and I appreciate the effort that you are making!
Feel free to send me suggestions or corrections about my stories! It seems that no matter how many times I proofread my stories, there are these dastardly little gremlins in my computer who insert typos and malapropisms when I'm not looking, that I notice as soon as the story is published!
