Subplots

• One character discovers another character killed or harmed a member of their family at some point in the past, completely by chance. It's murder, or wanton cruelty. How can they interact now? Does it change anything?
• A character is raped (possibly by another character). What new interactions take place as a result?
• 
  

Opening Line

• 
  

Closing Line

• The kiss was as sweet as the seasons and long as the rain, and she started to think maybe they really could make this work.

Random Lines

• 
  

Plot Twists

• Your MC or major secondary character develops insomnia or begins to have really bad nightmares halfway through the story, and never sleeps more than two consecutive hours for the rest of the the story, even if it lasts years.
• 
  

Random Scenes

• A first kiss scene between two adults
• two characters sit atop a roof and watch the sunset.

What-Ifs

• What if the events of two decades switched places?
• What if your radio started talking specifically to you?

Places

• A little graveyard about ten miles away from the edge of some huge city. The graveyard is old and grey, it is raining most of the time. Moss covers the gravestones, you can't read the names on them. The iron gates are rusty. In the middle of the graveyard there is a little white chapel, with broken windows and decayed door.
• An old cathedral that clearly has seen better days. The large doors once looked ornate but have now almost rusted off their hinges, and what statues remain are missing limbs or whole sections, some of which are still strewn around the place.
• MC goes to somewhere he/she's been, only to find out that something they did affected that place so drastically that it changes the plot
