New Story Ideas

I've been reading Ford County, John Grisham's short story collection. Grisham presents so many great scenarios in this publication. His storytelling ideas have inspired me a make up some of my own, which I can't wait to flesh out.

For instance, I want to write a story about a blue collar laborer that suddenly wins a lottery jackpot. Lottery stories are always intriguing. The payout is huge, and the laborer has never dealt with so much money before. After a series of considerable gaffes, he learns the hard way that money management requires a bit of experience. He also learns a lot about himself and the people that surround him.
