So, here's a bit of background about the Random Item addition that I tossed into the mixing pot a few days ago. I have a fedora that's full of little slips of paper.

On these little slips of paper are the names of random objects. There are approximately two hundred of these little slips of paper (printed out in size 9 Times New Roman and painstakingly cut out by hand) in the fedora.

Now, when I'm feeling incredibly stressed out over a scene that's just not going anywhere, I pick out a slip of paper and no matter what it is or what my characters are doing or where they are, I find a way to use the item in the scene and that usually gets me going again.

So take one of the random items and use it in a scene. You might just figure out something useful.
