About Me
I enjoy writing fiction, poetry, and politics and social opinion. I post daily poetry under the pen name GoRhyme, prose in many genres along with social and political analysis. Right now I’m attempting to write my first novel. I write the daily #vss365 prompt as GoRhyme on social.
Writing Tools
While there is no substitute for inspiration and sit down in your seat concentrated writing, sometimes it is nice just to meander about a prompt. No pressure to come up with a direction, it is already provided to you. Daily prompt writing is like concentrating in a sandbox of writing, it helps conquer writer’s block, hones craft and can lead to new directions and inspirations.
Random Character Generator
The bedrock foundation of any story are the characters who inhabit your kingdom. A good character is complex and layered, just like people are in real life. Your story comes alive in the contradictions and permutations of traits that make up personality. Try writing with a random character prompt and see what happens.
Random Scene Generator
Poor characters stumbling in the bushes, tripping over tree roots, aimlessly rambling, not knowing where to go; what to do with your poor creations? Scene development is an important construct that works in the background to establish your story and shape forward motion. Put your character and see how environment drive change.
Plot Generator
What happens next is your plot, that can be tricky, much like juggling multiple ball at the same time and keeping them going without all of them falling on your head. How to do it? Some writers consider themselves pantsers, others plan and outline everything. Here is a little tool to get you started.
Adding Details
It is necessary to add details to a story to make your story come to life. What your characters look like, what they sense, what objects are around them. These, and many more, create worlds that your readers will want to continue to explore. The sort of details that make them wonder what comes next.

About Me
I’m a fiction writer, poet, and cultural commentator currently writing my first novel. I’ve been thinking about it for years, and now I am going to take the plunge. When I’m not writing, I’m usually reading, overthinking politics, or discovering my next favorite book to read.
