Having trouble thinking up your next story idea?

[Gee Whillickers]

Give this a try. Some of them are a real hoot.

I challenge you all to pick one of these and write an actual story around it. An even bigger challenge: pick the third title from your fourth click-through. Write that story. No matter the title.

What a spiffing idea!

I tried it a couple of times and got mostly undead themes. No thanks. Actually, I'm kicking around an idea built around some sort of prince staying in a hotel somewhere who meets a commoner. Sort of a riff off of Mark Twain's "The Prince and the Pauper"...

Ha ha ha ha ha.

Actually, James, one of my editors, during a search for a title for my story, suggested The Prince and the Popper.

And your dog suggested The Prince and the Pooper!

Please! My dog has much more class than that.

I didn't get this title, but what I saw on there inspired it: "The House That Shall Not Murder." That would grab my attention on a paperback.
