A Dictionary of Short Stories

In which I try to improve my writing skills, while still getting out all of the stories that I think have a good plot.
The plan is to flip to a page in a dictionary and pick out the first word that seems interesting to me. Then I have to write at least a chapter out of it. I might just think of phrases and write a story out of them too.
The problem is that I'm just too lazy to write more than a few chapters on them, but who knows? Maybe I'll find one that I fall in love with.
Oh well, the world is fickle, and so am I.
