I have also learned that making the stories short is the best way to keep up good flow. When the stories become too long, they can become repetitive.
The way I have learned to come up with storytelling ideas is to think about different ideas while you read. You can form a connection with certain stories, and from that your creativity will spark. Generally while I read a story, I try to see how easily I would be able to make it into something else - whether that be a diary, a memoir, turning the characters into animals, first person perspective.
I find the reading diaries to be the most challenging. Silly, I know, but I just feels like more I have to write before I can get to my story. However, it is very beneficial the majority of the time.
