That is so true.

I’m a very busy writer, pumping out a brand-new short story every 12 days. But in order to keep up this creative momentum, a busy writer needs to keep his/her ear to the proverbial “ground” to stay way ahead of the reading public’s likes and dislikes. And to hack new genre trails where none were before

I read short stories for pleasure, for ideas, even for selfish business reasons, to monitor the competition.

That being said, what short story have YOU enjoyed lately (and by what author)?

What about that short story kept your interest to the end?

I also want to use today’s post to ask you avid short story readers an important question:

If you could step into my writer’s shoes for a day, what previously untold story theme would you want to see on the digital page (and why)?

Your feedback, with your name and country of origin, will be much appreciated. If I develop your short story idea, I will publish it on www.LongShortStories.com for the world to see, giving you written credit for your idea. You will also receive a One-Year subscription to LongShortStories!

I look forward to hearing from you before August 31, 2009, on this blog page.

Thanks much!
