I've always loved plot generators. I use to buy books full of writing prompts and exercises just to encourage me to write creatively (before the internet hah). Lately I've been using
this website and so far it has come up with some great plots and one lined subjects. For the one-lined prompts I usually give myself a time limit of 10 to 20 minutes to help hone quick thoughts of creativity. For the plot-based generators I usually give myself a word count to reach - usually between 2500 and 5000 words to encourage me to work on my details and keep a story interesting even if I'm uninterested. Here is my latest generated plot;
A selfish 20 year-old woman A sensitive 40 year-old man The story begins in a cemetery Something precious has been lost It's a story about memories The main character has to make a lot of changes
So I guess I'll get started on that now.
