Random Writing Prompt Generators

Occasionally we all need a jolt of creativity. Maybe even with a cattle prod. Here are some fun random writing prompt generators.

Writer Igniter, a feature of the DIY MLA website, makes it easy to fire up your creativity by spinning the slot style widget. 

• Ex. Character: Local politician
  

          Situation: Hosts a wedding
          Props: Tickets to a sold-out event
          Setting: Halls of a museum

Another random writing generator comes from Writing Exercises.co.uk. There's something for everyone. Need a scenario? Got it. A first line? Here's a random one to challenge you. Even characters and town names are randomly generated for your writing pleasure. A must try!

• Ex. Character generator: A daring 31 year-old woman, who comes from a comfortable background, lives in a social housing scheme and tends to be a little gullible.
  

Springhole.com provides a fun, really out there group of generators. Try the genre blender, the prophesy generator or the Fairy Tale Plot generator.

• Ex. The story is about an arrogant girl who must find a magic ring, break a curse, and outwit a faerie to defeat a giant.  Assistance comes in the form of a magic swan.

What fun prompts did you get?
