Story Compass

Feature 5 of 7

When the way forward isn’t obvious, Story Compass helps you find it. After you’ve written at least five hundred words, Compass asks a few pointed questions based only on what you’ve already put on the page — then shows you where your story is quietly leaning.

Let's take stock of where your story is.

Why it matters

Getting lost isn’t the same as getting stuck. When you’re unsure where a whole scene is heading, you don’t need invention — you need clarity. Story Compass reads what you’ve written, asks a short conversation’s worth of questions, and offers three possible directions in your own language. Not a reroll, not endless options. One deliberate pass grounded in your characters and your stakes. Choose any direction and it’s saved to your Idea Stash, ready to revisit whenever you need a way forward.
