Short Stories

I've decided that while everything else I'm working on is kinda depressing for me since I'm nowhere near completion.
I'm going to do short stories, 1-2 a day. I found a theme list that was used a lot on a forum I frequent for artists. I'm going to adapt it to writing, it's a list of 100 themes, each theme is 1-2 words long.
I did the first one today and came to a horrible realisation.
Most of the short stories I've read recently have been creepy-pastas and it's painfully obvious.
This is something I need to improve.
So on Monday I'm going to the local library and finding some books!
I haven't been to the library for a while and I haven't been that good at reading books recently so it will be a challenge.
Wish me luck.
