Writer's block, an owner's guide: Storybase

Storybase.net is apparently “the ultimate online dictionary of story starters and writing prompts – over 3,900 narrative Situations, each involving Characters that can be personalized with names of your choosing. The Situations are indexed in a logical framework derived from two universal vantage points: Mindset and Action.

Situations are comprised of Characters and Keywords. Mindset refers to the mental state of the character in the left-hand box at the top of this page. Action tags refer to the type of action that is happening in a given Situation.”

Can’t say I found it very useful, but then I’m not trying to outline a work of fiction right now, so how would it be? If you are, let me know how this helps.
