Writing Resource: Story Starters

Hey everyone!

I have another writing resource I’d like to share. 🙂 Years ago, I used to use a title, subject generator. It was great to get me started on something. I have one of those brains that just jumps to an idea given one word (hence OneWord), picture, etc.

Getting back into writing, I searched for that generator I ad used all those years ago without any luck. But, I did find another one that is helpful as well. Yay! It’s called Story Starters. You can find it HERE. Sometimes the starter is completely unusable, but most of the time the starter is at least thought provoking enough to get your creative juices flowing.

Here’s two examples of starters I generated:

1. The slow zoo keeper boiled a potato in the White House for the Russians.

2. The cool principal produced a movie in the playground to wake up the President.

So, as you can see, the usability of the starter as it is presented may not be the best, but with a generator, you take what you can get. 🙂 And at least it gets your thoughts moving in the right direction.

Thanks to Joel Heffner for getting the generator up and running for us and offering it for FREE! There is also a Story Starter for kids HERE.

Happy Writing! 🙂

This website is pretty cool.  They give you one word per day and you have 60 seconds to write whatever comes to your mind using the word or inspired by the word or whatever you want.

I find it to be inspiring sometimes.  I write so much that is not fiction, not really very creative.  It’s non-fiction, essay type topics.  I love to write anything, but sometimes I just need a creative burst.  So, in those instances, I pop over to my OneWord account and satisfy my creative craving with a 60 second creative writing session.  🙂
