Start Here! An Intro to Analog Stories

Some suggestions on where to start if you're new to the publication

First, thank you so much for checking out Analog Stories. I’m glad to have you here.

I tag all my posts with the category it belongs to (like [Short Story], [Poem], etc) and these tags also serve as navigation tools on my publication website.

Let me suggest some places to start:

If you want more detailed information about the publication:

If you want to see a list of all of my posts:

• Check out this table of contents page for navigating the different sections of Analog Stories

If you like poetry:

• Check out this poem: “In a Sentimental Mood,” which was awarded a Substack Top in Fiction prize

• For a longer poem, check out “Seizures.”

If you like flash fiction (or want to read something short to see if you like my style):

• Check out “The Gift of a Green Mood,” which got mentioned in this podcast episode of Saved as a Draft

If you want a longer story that showcases more of my writing style:

• Check out “The Different Tastes of Creativity,” also mentioned on a podcast episode, this time the Penny Dreadful podcast.

If you’re interested in my translation project (of my Cuban grandfather’s short stories):

• You can start at this prologue for an introduction to the project.

• Check out this part of the table of contents for a list of my translations

If you want an essay:

• Check out “On (petty) adversity and the hard solace of choice,” where I talk about a test of character in my high school biology class that has stuck with me.
