I love it when I can read a short story! The writer in me loves to be inspired by other writers. One thing that really inspires me to write a short story is to feed my love and enjoyment for them. I have fun reading short stories. The more I love what I am doing, the more it inspires me to write a short story. I always enjoy writing short stories, but when I want to really be inspired to come up with something original, I read some short stories. This gets my mind going to think of the subject I am dealing with. You do not have to read the genre you are writing on. You just need something to re-live the enjoyment and love that you have for short stories. Have you ever heard a song and decided you wanted to play it? If you are a musicain you might. It might get them going on one of their own works. Same goes with writers. They make their own music.
