If I still wrote short stories, I would be obesessively following SecretTweet, the Twitter version of PostSecret. I’ve only read two pages of secrets, and I’ve already gone, “Ding! Story idea!” half a dozen times. 

Consider: 

My wife is asking why I am so moody. My secret mistress of 20 years just died of cancer. I need to talk to someone. I feel so alone.

She’s a compulsive liar, a pain addict, a cheater and a slut. Too bad she just so happens to be me.

Had a choice between two guys to be with a couple years ago. I now know I chose the wrong one.

My alcoholism is normal to my wife since she has so many undiagnosed alcoholics in her family. I hate it. Hello, I need help!

I found out that before my Mom left my family, she had an abortion. My father didn’t touch her for a year before she left. Whose kid?

If you write fiction, it’s a goldmine.
