One-Page Stories

“Popcorn is corn* after a nervous breakdown.”

“The spoon firmly believed that the fork could change. Well.”

These and many more flashes of inspiration were scattered across numerous individual sheets of paper until now. Now, for the first time, they are collected in a very enjoyable book:

One-Page Stories.

As a peace offering to her dyslexia, Tessa Sima wrote a short story on a small piece of paper in 2018 and illustrated it. The first One-Page Story. With it, Tessa Sima’s fear of the blank page and of spelling mistakes vanished. The result was a bubbling joy in pen and paper, and countless One-Sheet Stories later, three rules still apply:

1. Don’t erase! Something comes from every mistake.
2. Every story must be finished, no matter what!
3. Show it to the world!
