How to Celebrate Short Story Day
As mentioned before, the absolute best way to celebrate Short Story day is to finally get that idea you've been toying around with in your mind on paper. Not everyone is destined to be a world-renowned writer, but you owe it to yourself to try, so no matter whether your idea is for a scare-filled horror story, a complex mystery, a funny little anecdote, or anything else... If you find that you enjoy writing, that first little short story may continue to evolve until it's a collection of short stories. Or maybe you will get so into the art of storytelling that you will be inspired to continue to develop what was originally supposed to be a short story until it ends up being a complete novel? And then...who knows? It may just get published. But even if it doesn't, you will have found a new hobby, something that allows you to express yourself, like other people paint and yet others photograph things that fascinate them.
If writing is something you don't feel any desire to try, however, Short Story Day can still be an interesting and enjoyable experience that broadens your horizons. And because reading a shirt story does not take that much time, you can celebrate this day without having to take the day off work! "Harvey's Dream, a rather sad exploration of what Alzheimer's disease does to a person, is considered by some to be one of Stephen King's best short stories. "Romantic Weekend by Mary Gaitskill is dangerously dark and sensual, and will let you know just how much you've been missing out on reading "Fifty Shades of Grey. And if literature that evokes feelings of dread and tension, then Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been? is guaranteed to raise all of the hairs on the back of your neck until the very last page.
All in all, this day is not just for writers, it is for everyone who appreciates the art that is good literature.
