Have any of you heard of plot generators? They are good for getting your creative juices to flow. I took a creative writing class recently, and one thing my teacher showed us that I thought was funny and helpful was a plot generator on google. There are different websites you can go to, but I decided to go through a bunch for you guys and post any I found that were half-way decent. These can be very random, silly, and weird, but they can actually work very well! I will divide them by genre. There can be some awful plot generators out there, but I tried my best!

Random first line generators can also help spark an idea for a short story, if not an entire novel! Even if you don't know the entire plot, just go with it and see where it takes you!

First lines:

After five years, he just happened to be walking down her street?

He didn't reply and immediately she thought: they've got him and now they're coming for me

She stood out from the crowd because... (bright pink hair, beak for a mouth, sharp claws, flaming hair)

Only the very oldest people remembered a time when humans could see in color.

He stood gazing out from his window on the 20th floor, when suddenly the all the city lights went out.

The best way to cut that aggravating woman down would be to flirt with her husband

He was older than she thought he would be.

She clung on to the piece of driftwood, praying for daylight.

He had never seen a decapitated head before, much less one floating in the river.

The dusty, old book was sitting there, just begging to be read.
