Continue the story is a tool that takes the opening you paste in and writes the next part in the same voice, tense, and point of view. You choose the direction, such as a twist or a slow build, and roughly how much to add. It suits fiction writers stuck mid-scene and anyone who wants to see where an excerpt could go next.
Paste what you have written so far into the Story Excerpt field. Include enough text for the tool to pick up on the voice, tense, and point of view you are using.
Describe where you want the story to go in Continuation Direction, such as a twist or an action scene, and list anything that must stay consistent in Key Details to Maintain, like a character's name or a plot detail.
Set the Continuation Length in words, then press Continue My Story. Read the result against your excerpt and copy the parts that fit into your draft.
Getting stuck mid-scene is common, and reading one possible continuation, even if you do not use it directly, can help you see what happens next or what does not work about the current direction.
Trying a few different Continuation Direction inputs, like a slow build versus a twist, from the same excerpt can help you compare how each option changes the pacing before you commit to writing it yourself.
Because the tool matches the voice, tense, and point of view of your excerpt, comparing its continuation to your own draft can highlight places where your writing drifts in tense or narrative voice.
It reads the excerpt you paste in, matches its voice, tense, and point of view, then writes new material in the direction and approximate length you specify. It does not need a summary, just the text itself.
No account is required to try it, though free use has a daily limit. It works only from the excerpt and details you type in; it does not browse the web or look up your story anywhere else.
Not necessarily. Results vary between runs, so a continuation may drift from what you had in mind, especially with a vague direction. Listing specific Key Details to Maintain helps keep names, facts, and plot points consistent.
Point of view describes who is telling the story, such as first person using I, third person limited following one character's thoughts, or third person omniscient with access to multiple characters. Keeping it consistent is a basic rule of clear storytelling.
Showing means letting a reader infer an emotion or fact through action, dialogue, or detail, while telling states it directly, such as writing she was nervous instead of describing a trembling hand. Most fiction blends both, leaning on showing at key moments.
There is no fixed rule, but many writers end a scene once its core conflict resolves or shifts, often between a few hundred and a couple thousand words, so pacing depends more on story tension than a specific word count.
Helps with a single stuck sentence, a smaller-scale version of the help this tool gives a stuck scene.
Writes a full new fan scene rather than continuing an excerpt, for the same kind of writer.
A lighter, shorter creative writing tool for the same characters once you know where their story is heading.
Expands a thin paragraph within your draft, useful alongside continuing the story into new written material.
