I want to write some short stories, just for writing practice. Ray Bradbury once advised writers to write one short story a week. Then you get in your practice, and you have accomplished something every week. I love this idea, but I need material to write about.

From those of you that write, where do you get your ideas for stories?
Thanks for all your help

I have received awards for my short stories, essays, articles and poetry in academic and literary journals. I am open to suggestion on quality online journals since I have never taken that route.

I have to write a research paper for my lit class on a short story. I tend to love witty, cynical humor and was wondering if anyone knows of any great satirical authors that write short stories. Thanks in advance!

Andre Devereux asked:


I’ve been interested in submitting ****** short stories for pay for a while now and I’ve researched places to submit my story to, but about 98% of the places I research require “book-length” stories between 10,000-100,000 words, which I’m not quite up to yet. Are there any websites out there that accept ****** short stories between 1,000-10,000 words for decent pay? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
