Being the writer I am, I struggle with writer's block from time to time, and one of the things I like to do when I can't think of something to write about is to go to a Random Word Generator. This is exactly what it sounds like. It is something where I tell it how many words I want (any number between 2-10) and it literally gives me 2-10 random words. For example, I set it to six words and it gave me:
killjoydrimysskylinepoeticcredenzaamericana
To begin, I had no idea what drimys, credenza, or americana meant. So the concept of not knowing was a good topic, if you think about that for a second. Then, I could look them up and write about them. I could write about each word individually, or I could try to throw them all together.
It's a weird way to get myself to write, but it works, and I use it. I've used it for a couple of other free posts this year, and it's how some of my personal essays I write at home turn out.
This is an interesting post. I could see how this might help some writers.
