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.
