Post-13: Generating your own strories

Dear All,

are you superstitious? Hope you are not. The reason why I have to mention this is that the Post I've created for today is number 13. However I'm hoping that it woudn't prevent you from creating an interesting story. How? Here is the explanation:

http://writingexercises.co.uk/plotgenerator.php

By following the link above you will access a form with the help of which you will be able to receive all the necessary elements for you to create a story.

You will get the following details:

The main character
Character 2
Setting
Situation
Theme
Character action

What you need to do is develop your own strory, using this information. You have 3 attempts at choosing the story elements if you do not like the first or the second one that is generated. Your story should be in the genre of your choice: for example, it could be a love story, an adventure story, a thriller or some other kind of story if you wish. You should be able to finish writing it duringf the class time and publish it in your blog.

Looking forward to reading your stories.

    With the help of this plot generator I got the following details for my story:

    A man in his 40es, who can be quite stubborn
    The story begins on the train
    Someone telling the truth is not believed
    It's a story about learning from mistakes.
    Your character has to make a lot of changes

    Not sure where these story elements will take me but hope you woudn't be disappointed with it.

    Dear All,

    can you let me know whether you found creating your own stories useful in any way and if yes, what made it useful for you. Do you think you should have an opportunity to do such tasks during the course. Why or why not? I'd appreciate your answer. Thanks
