More Generators.....I might have found my muse!!

Did you guys take a look at the generator that kitty_fic posted earlier?

I've been playing with it all day, saving scenarios for future use and trying to find some inspiration for the fic I'm writing. I discovered that the site also has two other generators.

Here's the info and links to them:

Problem: Your characters lack depth
Solution: Archetype's Character Generator

What it is: A quick character sketch filled with the kinds of little details that makes stories engaging: character gender, cardinal traits, weaknesses, and most prized possession. Just like us, characters' behaviors and preferences should be rooted in both genetics and past experience.

Problem: Your characters don't feel like "real" people
Solution: Archetype's Everyday Problems Generator

What it is: The details are what make characters real, and characters, like us, have little quirks, problems, and beliefs that make them unique. Indiana Jones is afraid of snakes, Monk has OCD, and Clark Kent has that little Kryptonite allergy. This generator will help you add depth to characters by suggesting everyday fears, quirks, beliefs, and problems.


The website also has a ton of links covering writer's block and characterization. It's definitely worth checking out!
