Other story development programs offer deep development environments where a writer can take days or weeks to develop a story. This is fine for a lot of people, but could, potentially, lead to bogging down in the process. QuickStory offers a fast and easy way to develop your basic story so you can get to what you're great at - writing the story. But we want to be perfectly honest, the speed could come at a price.

The Story Generator can be a very useful way to begin developing a story. It works best if you have a general concept of the story and need to start giving it structure. It's important to note, however, that the story generator does require a lot of the writer in the development process. Some find it frustrating at first.

The story generator establishes nine points in your story and provides ten options to choose from for each of these points. The options were generated by studying hundreds of stories and discovering general similaries. There are a potential one billion story combinations given the number of story points and number of options.

In order to give you a tool with a potential one billion stories, it was necessary to make each of the options very general. A writer needs to be able to take this very general option and develop it into a full story point with details and characterizations. This can seem difficult at first.

For example, the "Set Up" plot point is at the beginning of your story. One of the options for the set up is "Our hero is unhappy with his life and dreams of big adventure." This option applies to Wizard of Oz, Star Wars and many other stories. At the beginning the hero is unhappy in their little towns and dream of big adventures out in the world. Taking a series of general concepts and developing into your own story is the concept behind Story Generator.
