Yesterday I posted how to get your creative juices flowing with object writing. Today I found a great site that you can use to randomly generate objects to write about. It’s more of a surprise word generator than a random word generator because you have to type a word in first. But at least it’s fast and easy and works when you don’t have a thesaurus or dictionary around. It also tells you the relative popularity of the word you chose. Pretty cool.

Hi Graham, fellow songwriter here… just thought I’d let you know about my site objectwriting.com. I have a ‘word of the day’ each day. It’s a forum, so people can join and feedback each others work. Another fab resource is the mcGill rhyming dictionary with verse-perfect. It provides perfect/near perfect rhymes and a thesaurus option as you type intro the word processor! it’s free – do a search.
Thanks for the heads up, Paul. I’ll check your site out.
