Cuisine Scene

Remember you can pickle tons of stuff. Make sure to spend at least thirty pages talking about pickling to stretch that manuscript out.

Random Filler Table

Uh oh! You wrote a novel and forgot all the filler! How can you get up to 700,000 words that way? Don't worry, that's why erasers have pencils. Simply use the ideas from this list to start off your filler sections. Optionally, use a random number generator to determine the order, but you have to use all of them.

1 Feast description
2 A letter from home
3 A maid's perspective
4 Training montage
5 Town where something seems off (they're all in a cult)
6 Magic school!
7 Sea voyage
8 Dreams
9 Romeo and Juliet side plot
10 something something humans destroy nature how sad
11 My wallet/purse/bag was stolen!
12 Mansion where something seems off (vampires)

If you're writing book 2 or later of a series, feel free to make one of these ideas the entire plot.
