Helping writers become bestselling authors

Inside One Stop For Writers: The Idea Generator

October 14, 2015 by ANGELA ACKERMAN

Today I’d like to showcase another One Stop for Writers tool: the Idea Generator. Chances are you’ve seen generators before…some of which spit out a mish-mash story idea that sounds a bit like this:

“A fire-breathing mega turtle teams up with a one-armed hobgoblin thief to steal the secret elixir hidden in the acid forest of Dune Town.”

Now I don’t know about you, but I find most generators that follow a person/place/thing format rarely shake loose anything helpful. So, when we created the Idea Generator, we chose to go a different route.

We look at areas of character & story exploration that are can be hard to brainstorm without a mental nudge or two.

Each drawer opens to reveal three different ideas, and you can open the drawer as many times as you need to find the right fit.

Once you hit the jackpot, you can bookmark the idea to save it and then move on to another area to explore.

Pretty cool huh?

If you would like to check out the Idea Generator, stop by and test drive our 2-WEEK FREE TRIAL.

If you’d like to see all the other tools we have at One Stop, visit our Features and Tools page. Happy writing!
