stupid plot tricks
I'm having loads of fun with this teaser from the Viable Paradise fantasy and science fiction writers workshop.
(Mike Ford used to teach at it, and I found it by reading Making Light's latest collection of Mike Ford links.)
I haven't used this particular set of tricks before, but I've used other semi-random ways of generating disparate plot elements or ideas and it sometimes gets my brain moving in interesting directions.
