\"\"<\/a>CellStories<\/a> is a ridiculously simple service that brings you a little story each day.\u00a0 You just open up the link to the CellStories.net<\/a> site in your cell phone browser and the story shows up, well-formatted and easy to read.\u00a0 The site was started by former magazine editor Daniel Sinker<\/a>, who has used his many contacts in the publishing field to acquire a continuing stream of worthwhile and entertaining stories.<\/p>\n

The main problem for me that this service solves is my inability to remember to keep reading long-form works on a cell phone.\u00a0 I just can’t remember to keep going, no matter what the book.\u00a0 It’s something to do with the small screen and my feeling that all handheld units are for very temporary work and pleasure.\u00a0 When I read long works I use a book or a Kindle e-reader.\u00a0 I have no problems with continuity there.\u00a0 But CellStories only offers short fiction.\u00a0 It’s the perfect little pocket literature gizmo.\u00a0 I actually feel a tiny sense of accomplishment when I finish a short story on my Droid phone.\u00a0 I feel that I have filled some time well that might otherwise have been spent checking my hair.<\/p>\n

So if you want some grown-up short fiction, try CellStories.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
