Shhhh... Now keep this quiet, but we writers have special links to a password-protected site where we can log in and get plot ideas, story concepts, character names, even whole outlines.

All you do is type in a possible story type (mystery, scifi, sword & sorcery, romance, etc), the approximate length you want (short story, novelette, novel, epic), add a few checked boxes (adult, juvenile) (male or female protagonist) and other items, and when you click "CREATE" the computer program generates a story for you (if you want) or just the outline, and emails it you you.

The site isn't cheap (yes, we do pay) but it's worth it!

You're not supposed to tell! How else are we supposed to appear creative?

Sorry, Alley, I was compelled to spill the beans. If asked later, I'll deny everything.

Usually from life experiences with a bit of fiction mixed up in it
