We had a blast with the first round, so let's do it again!

Ever watch a movie or read a book and wonder how in the world the author came up with such a crazy plot? Well, now it's your turn to do some of that craziness.

Go to this Plot Machine generator, pick one of the plots and do something with it. Maybe a short story, an opening scene, a graphic novella, a script, a developed outline, whatever your heart desires. Just pick one and create.

If you don't care for the plot that's listed first, just click through until something you like comes up. Just be warned: they are all crazy! Crazy fun that is!

Here's an example of a couple of the plots on the generator:

After a sex change/a ravenous shark/hijacks a bus full of Tae Bo instructors

Halfway through a big to-do list/a near-sighted chemist/can only be seen by toddlers

Send two partners the plot from site (all three pieces: the inciting incident, the protagonist and the goal) and then what you created. You have a month to do this so don't dilly dally.

Now, go pick a plot and write something! And have fun!

This is a fun exercise -- I had fun writing it and I got fun stories in the mail. I'd urge others to join.
