About

Writer's block is rarely a lack of talent; it is an paralysis of choice. This tool is not a random word shuffler. It is a Narrative Engine designed to construct cohesive story skeletons using structural logic derived from classical dramatic theory. By imposing specific constraints - Archetype, Ambition, Antagonism, Atmosphere, and Twist - it forces the brain to bridge the logical gaps, instantly generating a plot.

We have expanded the database to include sensory details (olfactory, tactile) and opening lines, moving beyond high-level concepts into execution. Whether you are a screenwriter needing a logline or a novelist looking for a scene starter, this tool provides the friction necessary to ignite the creative spark.

Formulas

A compelling story S is the integral of character change over the resistance encountered.

S = End∫Start (Desire × Conflict) dt

Where Conflict C is a function of external obstacles O_ext and internal flaws O_int:

C ≈ √O_ext² + O_int²

It allows for "Iterative Generation." If you like the Protagonist but hate the Setting, lock the Protagonist and spin the rest. This lets you build a story piece by piece rather than hoping for a perfect random combination.

Novice writers often focus only on visuals. The Sensory slot forces you to incorporate smell, sound, or texture (e.g., 'The smell of ozone'), which instantly makes writing more immersive.

Absolutely. The integrated "Sprint Timer" is specifically designed for speed-drafting challenges like NaNoWriMo, helping you track 15-minute bursts of intense writing.

Yes. The prompts are generated algorithmically from public domain tropes and concepts. You own 100% of the stories you write using them.

This is intentional. "Genre-mashing" (e.g., A Cowboy in a Cyberpunk City) is often where the most original ideas come from. You can use the "Coherence" mode to filter for stricter genre rules if preferred.
