How to Generate a Short Story?

Squibler simplifies the process of creating a well-structured short story. Let’s explore how you can generate a short story with Squibler:

Generating an Outline vs. Entire Short Story

When using Squibler’s AI Story Generator, you have two primary options: generate a fully written short story or just an outline. The choice depends on how much control you want over the writing process and how detailed you want the initial draft to be. 

If you choose to generate an outline, expanding your short story involves following the framework provided by the AI. Your outline will be available within Squibler’s editor, where each scene or plot point is summarized for you. Squibler’s Smart Writer can turn these summaries into fully developed scenes. The AI will assist with generating content, rewriting sections, and enhancing character descriptions.

If you choose to generate the complete story, you can preview it and take it out if you like. You can also refine it with Squibler’s editor, which provides powerful AI tools to craft compelling narratives. Squibler’s AI Smart Writer can help you rewrite certain parts, add vivid descriptions, or generate additional content. Your progress is automatically saved as you edit, allowing you to focus on crafting a polished and engaging short story.

Once the short story with your narrative perspective is ready, you can easily export it in various formats, including PDF (.pdf), Text File (.txt), and Microsoft Word (.docx). For those interested in self-publishing, Squibler provides tools to format your story for different platforms.
