Can’t Come Up With An Idea?
Do you ever want to write something, but you just don’t know what to write about? Here’s a small collection of story & idea generators.
This one will give you a one-sentence summary of a story. Example: A demigod blows up the car of an accident-prone steelworker.

This one gives you an idea in several parts. Example:The theme of this story: romantic relationship. The main characters: opportunistic marine and naive cab driver. The major event of the story: accident.

Thanks, Bryce! I love these things. They’re like games.
As a side note, you may want to check out WriteItNow; it’s a piece of writer’s software with idea and character generators built it. I haven’t tried it yet because I haven’t really had time, but I’ll fool with it some before long. Might even buy it someday if I ever get back to work again.
Hope your celebration was a happy one and God bless, bud.
