Story a Day, Or Every Two Days, Or...

Well, my Story a Day project, though formulated with sincerity and the best of intentions, has already gone awry. I'm already two days behind, and next up is a 20+ page Saul Bellow story that I probably won't finish before tomorrow at the earliest. (I've been trying to accomplish this mission without interrupting my usual reading regimen or sacrificing precious sleep.) After Bellow, I'll be at least four days behind, with 99 stories remaining to be read. Something has to give.

So, a new vow: I'll finish the entire Norton Anthology of Short Fiction by the end of 2005. Which should be attainable, or much more so than reading a story a day.
