1. Samantha wanted to be famous.
The problem was that she had never
considered all the downsides to actually being famous. Had she taken the
time to objectively consider these downsides, she would have never agreed
to publically sing that first song.
2. The amber droplet hung from the branch, reaching fullness and ready to
drop. It waited. While many of the other droplets were satisfied to form as big
as they could and release, this droplet had other plans. It wanted to be part
of history. It wanted to be remembered long after all the other droplets had
dissolved into history. So it waited for the perfect specimen to fly by to trap
and capture that it hoped would eventually be discovered hundreds of years
in the future.
3. I haven't bailed on writing. Look, I'm generating a random paragraph at this
very moment in an attempt to get my writing back on track. I am making an
effort. I will start writing consistently again!
4. Don't forget that gifts often come with costs that go beyond their purchase
price. When you purchase a child the latest smartphone, you're also
committing to a monthly phone bill. When you purchase the latest gaming
system, you're likely not going to be satisfied with the games that come with
it for long and want to purchase new titles to play. When you buy gifts it's
important to remember that some come with additional costs down the road
that can be much more expensive than the initial gift itself.
5. It was a simple tip of the hat. Grace didn't think that anyone else besides her
had even noticed it. It wasn't anything that the average person would notice,
let alone remember at the end of the day. That's why it seemed so
unbelievable that this little gesture would ultimately change the course of the
world.
6. He dropped the ball. While most people would think that this was a metaphor
of some type, in Joe's case it was absolutely literal. He had hopes of reaching
the Major League and that dream was now it great jeopardy. All because he
had dropped the ball.
7. The alarm went off at exactly 6:00 AM as it had every morning for the past
five years. Barbara began her morning and was ready to eat breakfast by
7:00 AM. The day appeared to be as normal as any other, but that was about
to change. In fact, it was going to change at exactly 7:23 AM.
8. The rain was coming. Everyone thought this would be a good thing. It hadn't
rained in months and the earth was dry as a bone. It wasn't a surprise that
everyone thought a good rain was what was needed, but they never
expected how much rain would actually arrive.
9. Brock would have never dared to do it on his own he thought to himself. That
is why Kenneth and he had become such good friends. Kenneth forced Brock
out of his comfort zone and made him try new things he'd never imagine
doing otherwise. Up to this point, this had been a good thing. It had
expanded Brock's experiences and given him a new appreciation for life. Now
that both of them were in the back of a police car, all Brock could think was
that he would have never dared do it except for the influence of Kenneth.
10.Sometimes it's simply better to ignore the haters. That's the lesson that
Tom's dad had been trying to teach him, but Tom still couldn't let it go. He
latched onto them and their hate and couldn't let it go, but he also realized
that this wasn't healthy. That's when he came up with his devious plan.
11.I've rented a car in Las Vegas and have reserved a hotel in Twentynine Palms
which is just north of Joshua Tree. We'll drive from Las Vegas through Mojave
National Preserve and possibly do a short hike on our way down. Then spend
all day on Monday at Joshua Tree. We can decide the next morning if we want
to do more in Joshua Tree or Mojave before we head back.
12.His parents continued to question him. He didn't know what to say to them
since they refused to believe the truth. He explained again and again, and
they dismissed his explanation as a figment of his imagination. There was no
way that grandpa, who had been dead for five years, could have told him
where the treasure had been hidden. Of course, it didn't help that grandpa
was roaring with laughter in the chair next to him as he tried to explain once
again how he'd found it.
13.The light was out on the front porch of the house. This was strange. Judy
couldn't remember a time when she had ever seen it out. She hopped out of
her car and walked to the door. It was slightly ajar and she knew this meant
something terrible. She gently pushed the door open and hall her fears were
realized. "Surprise! Happy Birthday!" everyone shouted.
14.Puppies are soft, cute, funny, and make a big mess. Every month or two our
family fosters 6-12 week old puppies for a puppy rescue nonprofit
organization. We all enjoy cuddling their furry bodies after a clean bath. Fresh
puppy smell is great. The puppies play with each other and our adult dog.
They look so funny when they lay on top of each other and sleep. While
puppies can be great fun, they also can make big messes. 4-6 puppies can
make a lot of puppy pee and poop. It's a challenge to keep the puppies and
the puppy pen clean.
15.The shades were closed keeping the room dark. Peter knew that he should
open them and let in the sunlight so he could begin the day, but he didn't
have the energy or willpower. Nothing had gone as expected the day before
and he no longer wanted to spend the energy to begin a new day. He stared
at the shades wondering if there was a way to disappear from the reality of
the world for the rest of the day.
16.The red glint of paint sparkled under the sun. He had dreamed of owning this
car since he was ten, and that dream had become a reality less than a year
ago. It was his baby and he spent hours caring for it, pampering it, and
fondling over it. She knew this all too well, and that's exactly why she had
taken a sludge hammer to it.
17.One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in
pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and
the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent
imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. One dollar and
eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas...
18.He walked down the steps from the train station in a bit of a hurry knowing
the secrets in the briefcase must be secured as quickly as possible. Bounding
down the steps, he heard something behind him and quickly turned in a
panic. There was nobody there but a pair of old worn-out shoes were placed
neatly on the steps he had just come down. Had he past them without seeing
them? It didn't seem possible. He was about to turn and be on his way when
a deep chill filled his body.
19.The red glow of tail lights indicating another long drive home from work after
an even longer 24-hour shift at the hospital. The shift hadn’t been horrible
but the constant stream of patients entering the ER meant there was no
downtime. She had some of the “regulars” in tonight with new ailments they
were sure were going to kill them. It’s amazing what a couple of Tylenol and
a physical exam from the doctor did to eliminate their pain, nausea,
headache, or whatever other mild symptoms they had. Sometimes she
wondered if all they really needed was some interaction with others and a bit
of the individual attention they received from the nurses.
20.Hopes and dreams were dashed that day. It should have been expected, but
it still came as a shock. The warning signs had been ignored in favor of the
possibility, however remote, that it could actually happen. That possibility
had grown from hope to an undeniable belief it must be destiny. That was
until it wasn't and the hopes and dreams came crashing down.
21.Cake or pie? I can tell a lot about you by which one you pick. It may seem
silly, but cake people and pie people are really different. I know which one I
hope you are, but that's not for me to decide. So, what is it? Cake or pie?
22.Brenda never wanted to be famous. While most of her friends dreamed about
being famous, she could see the negative aspects that those who wanted to
be famous seemed to ignore. The fact that you could never do anything in
public without being mobbed and the complete lack of privacy was something
that she never wanted to experience. She also had no desire to have
strangers speculating about every aspect of her life and what each thing she
did was supposed to mean. Brenda was perfectly happy with her anonymous
life where she could do exactly as she wanted without anyone else giving a
damn. Thus, her overnight Internet celebrity was not something she was
thrilled about as her friends told her how lucky she was.
23.There was a time and a place for Stephanie to use her magic. The problem
was that she had a difficult time determining this. She wished she could
simply use it when the desire hit and there wouldn't be any unforeseen
consequences. Unfortunately, that's not how it worked and the consequences
could be devastating if she accidentally used her magic at the wrong time.
24.Here's the thing. She doesn't have anything to prove, but she is going to
anyway. That's just her character. She knows she doesn't have to, but she
still will just to show you that she can. Doubt her more and she'll prove she
can again. We all already know this and you will too.
If you're looking for random paragraphs, you've come to the right place. When a
random word or a random sentence isn't quite enough, the next logical step is to
find a random paragraph. We created the Random Paragraph Generator with you in
mind. The process is quite simple. Choose the number of random paragraphs you'd
like to see and click the button. Your chosen number of paragraphs will instantly
appear.
While it may not be obvious to everyone, there are a number of reasons creating
random paragraphs can be useful. A few examples of how some people use this
generator are listed in the following paragraphs.
Creative Writing
Generating random paragraphs can be an excellent way for writers to get their
creative flow going at the beginning of the day. The writer has no idea what topic
the random paragraph will be about when it appears. This forces the writer to use
creativity to complete one of three common writing challenges. The writer can use
the paragraph as the first one of a short story and build upon it. A second option is
to use the random paragraph somewhere in a short story they create. The third
option is to have the random paragraph be the ending paragraph in a short story.
No matter which of these challenges is undertaken, the writer is forced to use
creativity to incorporate the paragraph into their writing.
Tackle Writers' Block
A random paragraph can also be an excellent way for a writer to tackle writers'
block. Writing block can often happen due to being stuck with a current project that
the writer is trying to complete. By inserting a completely random paragraph from
which to begin, it can take down some of the issues that may have been causing
the writers' block in the first place.
Beginning Writing Routine
Another productive way to use this tool to begin a daily writing routine. One way is
to generate a random paragraph with the intention to try to rewrite it while still
keeping the original meaning. The purpose here is to just get the writing started so
that when the writer goes onto their day's writing projects, words are already
flowing from their fingers.
Writing Challenge
Another writing challenge can be to take the individual sentences in the random
paragraph and incorporate a single sentence from that into a new paragraph to
create a short story. Unlike the random sentence generator, the sentences from the
random paragraph will have some connection to one another so it will be a bit
different. You also won't know exactly how many sentences will appear in the
random paragraph.
Programmers
It's not only writers who can benefit from this free online tool. If you're a
programmer who's working on a project where blocks of text are needed, this tool
can be a great way to get that. It's a good way to test your programming and that
the tool being created is working well.
Above are a few examples of how the random paragraph generator can be
beneficial. The best way to see if this random paragraph picker will be useful for
your intended purposes is to give it a try. Generate a number of paragraphs to see if
they are beneficial to your current project.
If you do find this paragraph tool useful, please do us a favor and let us know how
you're using it. It's greatly beneficial for us to know the different ways this tool is
being used so we can improve it with updates. This is especially true since there are
times when the generators we create get used in completely unanticipated ways
from when we initially created them. If you have the time, please send us a quick
note on what you'd like to see changed or added to make it better in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these random paragraphs for my project?
Yes! All of the random paragraphs in our generator are free to use for your projects.
Does a computer generate these paragraphs?
No! All of the paragraphs in the generator are written by humans, not computers.
When first building this generator we thought about using computers to generate
the paragraphs, but they weren't very good and many times didn't make any sense
at all. We therefore took the time to create paragraphs specifically for this
generator to make it the best that we could.
Can I contribute random paragraphs?
Yes. We're always interested in improving this generator and one of the best ways
to do that is to add new and interesting paragraphs to the generator. If you'd like to
contribute some random paragraphs, please contact us.
How many words are there in a paragraph?
There are usually about 200 words in a paragraph, but this can vary widely. Most
paragraphs focus on a single idea that's expressed with an introductory sentence,
then followed by two or more supporting sentences about the idea. A short
paragraph may not reach even 50 words while long paragraphs can be over 400
words long, but generally speaking they tend to be approximately 200 words in
length.
