So what is it?
It's a place to write your novel, with a coach built in.
You tell it your idea. It helps you shape it, asks you the right questions, and stays with you scene by scene until there's a book there.
You do the writing. It does everything else.
Think of it as the friend who's read a thousand novels, sitting on the other side of the desk, asking what happens next.
You've always had ideas.
The one you think about in the car. The character who turns up when you can't sleep. The plot you worked out in the shower and never told anyone. That's the hard part, and you've already done it.
The best fun you can have on a Tuesday night.
Two hours vanish. You look up and it's eleven.
You'll surprise yourself in week one.
Most people write more in their first evening than they expected to write all month.
And one day there's a book with your name on it.
Your characters. Your story. Your cover.
Whatever you're itching to write
It works for any kind of novel. Pick yours.
Not sure yet? Plenty of people arrive with a feeling rather than a genre, and work it out in the first session.
Everything you need, in one place
A coach that answers you
Tell it what you're thinking, or where you're stuck. You get a real reply straight away, at 6am or midnight.
It remembers your whole book
Your characters, your chapters, what happened in scene four. You never have to explain your own story to it twice.
It knows where you left off
Come back after a week or a month and it picks up exactly where you stopped. No re-reading to find the thread.
Questions that unstick you
Stuck? It asks about your character, throws a few possibilities at you, and lets you pick. Usually one of them sets something off and you're away.
Somewhere to actually write
A clean, quiet writing space with your chapters and scenes organised down the side. Nothing to set up.
Choose how it looks
Warm parchment, sage, rose, or dark for late nights. Small thing. Makes a surprising difference at 10pm.
Your book, exportable
Take your manuscript out whenever you like. It's yours, in a normal file, forever.
Laptop, tablet or phone
Write on the couch, on the train, or in the twenty minutes before school pickup.
Here's how it goes
Tell it your idea.
A sentence is plenty. "A woman inherits a house she's never heard of." That'll do.
It asks you some questions.
Easy ones. Who is she? What does she want? What's the worst thing that could happen to her? You'll have more answers than you think.
You start writing.
Scene by scene, at whatever pace suits you. It's right there whenever you want to talk something through.
No plan required. Nothing to set up. You could be writing in ten minutes.
Every word is yours
This part matters, because it's what makes it fun. There's no satisfaction in a book someone else wrote.
- 1It never writes your sentences.
- 2It never learns to sound like you so it can write them later.
- 3The book is yours — on the page, on the cover, and in the part of you that knows you did it.
It asks. You answer. The good lines are yours to keep.
People who started with no idea what they were doing
Fifteen minutes before a shift
“I'm a nurse with two kids. I had decided novels were for people with more time than me. The sessions fit into fifteen minutes before a shift, or an hour if I've got it. Three weeks in I have 9,000 words and I actually look forward to it.”
Ten days in
“Ten days in and I've already written more than I did in all of last year.”
Chapter eleven
“I have four abandoned first chapters sitting on my hard drive. Four. I'd always go back and fiddle with chapter one instead of writing chapter two. But whatever this thing does, it doesn't let me sit still. I'm on chapter eleven now. Some days I open the file just to see how far I've come.”
Past fifty thousand words
“My problem was always the middle — big exciting setup, then around 20,000 words I'd lose the thread and wander off to some shiny new idea. What helped was the questions it asked — gentle ones about what my character wanted, what she was afraid of — and suddenly scenes that felt dead had life again. I'm past 50,000 now.”
