For those who are bored, life has no meaning. Everything is dull and gray. These people just like staying in one corner of the house or in the office, nothing else to do. What’s the reason behind of being so bored? Do you feel like life is so empty? Do you really think that you will always be like this until the rest of your time? This is not a very healthy life strategy as boredom often leads to depression.

Once a person is depressed, his or her mental health can deteriorate, causing some social problems or worse, suicidal tendencies.

If you happen to be a bored person, then you might want to find a hobby instead of doing nothing all day. There are different hobbies for different types of people. You can choose among what you are most interested in. If you wanted, choose a hobby where you an express what you feel. However, there is one that might fit for everyone. And that hobby is short story writing.

Yes, this kind of hobby is simple yet very entertaining. You might find yourself so amazed and occupied when you indulge into writing. Writing a short story can be very pleasing and fun hobby. It is where you can create a world on your own. You are the creator yourself and it is up to you to what you wanted your story to flow. You can decide whether your story might be related adventures, love or anything. Besides, you have the freewill to what your story should appear.

All you need is a notebook and a pen and also a healthy imagination. If you wanted, you’ve got to fresh up your mind first and think of any possibility to what your story might end up to. If you’re not that creative, then you can always base your short stories on people or events around you. It can be of the things that might have happened with your life, to someone’s lives or to anything you want to express in writing. It can be base on reality or your own creativity.

Start writing down and you can even collect short stories that you have written. In this way, your life does not have to be too boring anymore. This is just a one way to treat you own self not too live a boring life.

You can also use your personal computer, if you wish. I personally write down short stories in my PC and then save them in different folders. You can categorize your short stories as well in order not to confuse yourself.

You can also use grammar checkers in order to check the spelling. All in all, writing short stories not only cures boredom, it can also enhance your grammar and writing skills as well. Also, you can prevent your mind from deteriorating. Instead, you might even acquire some more knowledge and be more interested in what you do. So go ahead and start writing short stories today!

I’m on a binge reading contemporary fiction about immigrants to the U.S. (Jhumpa Lahiri, Amy Tan) and I’m looking for a novel or a collection of short stories about Latino/as. Fiction for adults, preferably something of literary worth (Pulitzer Prize or NYT Bestseller?). I haven’t come across anything yet. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have a creative writing assignment that is due next month. We have to write 6 page short stories.

ANY IDEAS???
O, and I forgot to mention, the theme is ‘ OUTSIDERS ‘.

And don’t make it so exciting and superficial and alienated and all that please?
- Mariah M

Self explanatory…

Anyways I would like it to be a deeper subject then just the usual short stories.

I was thinking of a story about a Jewish girl’s experience in the holocaust but I couldn’t condense it enough for a short story.

PLEASE HELP! All ideas welcomed!!

I write a little and want to get a little exposure. I know that there are web magazines that take drama and sci fi, but I wanted to see if there were any print magazines that still take short stories in fiction. If so, what are their web addresses?
