Ever wish for an app that would just throw story ideas at you? Well, here's the next best thing:

Magic Realism Bot

That's a wonderful twitter feed for a bot that culls and aggregates the plots of magic realism stories. It tweets one every two hours. Some great examples:


A hermit finds a mirror which reflects insanity.

During a solar eclipse all the stars are replaced by birth.

A Maltese viceroy builds a Coliseum made of emeralds.

A medieval book describes a world where everything is made of sadness.

There is a storm in China. It rains eyes.


...and so on. Lots of little idea flashes in there, so I think it's worth bookmarking for when nothing is tickling the old writing bone. :)
