    Something really serious

    OK, Brexit, Immigration, Trump, EU, lefties vs righties, wealthy elite vs ordinary people, etc etc.

    Forget all this trivia. Got my writer's club tomorrow and can't think of a story despite half a bottle of Pinot Grigiot. Any suggestions?

      A novel written by AI passes the first round in a Japanese literary competition - ScienceAlert

      Write a story about a new AI that writes a story. The AI story is a murder plot to kill Donald Trump in some obscure way. Then it actually happens.

      Or something like that.

          Why not write about the apocalyptic results of Jeremy Corbyn being elected Prime Minister and re-enacting Animal Farm?

              What about a story, a group of guys who have too many vacuum cleaners, go out and convince a hotel owner that the bed sheets have come to life, are floating around in the ball room, and they have to vacuum them up by placing the vacuums on their backs. Then later on, they have to capture a large inflatable parade float shaped like a sailor which has gotten away from the rest of parade, and they have to draw it closer to the spire of a church using their vacuums so it will burst, but instead, they just light it with a lighter and as its fall of farts, it bursts into flames. And then in the end of the story, they do it all over again, but this time, the boys are girls and the theme tune really sucks (as does the story).

              Bang. Job done.

                I'm kind of sensing that this was probably not the right place to seek inspiration...
