Start with an idea
A sentence, a character, or a question is enough to begin.

One idea is enough. Turn a spark into a complete story, or guide every detail with genre, tone, characters, and setting.
NEED A SPARK?
How to turn a story prompt into a complete arc
Give the protagonist a specific desire and a reason they cannot wait. A useful prompt names the person, the disruption, and what could be lost. Genre sets expectations; tone determines how the events feel.
Start with a short draft to test the central choice. When expanding, ask for a new obstacle or a deeper relationship rather than simply more description. Read the ending first: it should resolve the problem the opening creates.
Example creative brief
An apprentice clockmaker has one night to repair a clock that holds her town’s memories, but each repair erases one of her own.
Review your draft
- Does the opening introduce a clear desire?
- Does the protagonist make a consequential choice?
- Does the ending answer the opening problem?

A few things to know.
Where are my stories saved?
My Library saves tool results on this browser and device. It is separate from cloud manuscript copies. Download important stories before clearing browser data.
Can I edit or expand the result?
Yes. Every result is editable. Rewrite, shorten, and expand request a new AI draft; manual editing, saving, and downloading do not require AI access.
Can I write in another language?
Choose from 36 output languages. The result keeps its original language when you save or export it. Length counts Han characters individually and words in other scripts.
What happens to my uploaded picture?
Pictures are resized and re-encoded in your browser, then sent to the configured AI provider for this request. The source image is not stored in My Library. Provider retention depends on your provider settings.
Is AI generation ready?
The controls and editor are available. AI requests need a configured writing provider; illustrations need an image provider. Public generation remains closed until account and usage controls are connected.
