In a number of ways. I belong to a local writers guild and we host contests 6 months out of the year. I make it a goal to entry all of the short story contests and often write a story the day before it's due, but the theme will have been percolating for weeks. By doing this, I'm always writing something even if I'm stalled on my novel.
I've had story ideas come from songs on the radio, from overheard conversations, and basically asking "what if".
