Getting Started
Story Starters
Discover a new way to spark your creativity and guide your storytelling journey
When you enter the Develop Workspace from Story Central or the Welcome screen, you’ll be greeted with a selection of Story Starters—original, AI-generated prompts crafted by Muse to kickstart your creativity. These Story Starters provide a foundation for your storytelling journey, offering a compelling logline, genre, and the four throughlines to help you understand how different narrative elements fit together.
How It Works
- Daily Inspiration: Every night, Muse generates new Story Starters across a wide range of genres—including some you won’t find anywhere else!
- Easy to Get Started: Simply tap a Story Starter that interests you, confirm your selection, and Subtxt will copy all the relevant details into your personal workspace.
- Completely Customizable: These are just starting points—adjust a Throughline, rework the premise, or take the story in a completely different direction. The goal is to set you up for success while leaving creative freedom in your hands.
- Not AI-Written Stories: Worry not! Muse isn’t writing entire stories—just providing the framework. The rest is up to you.
Where to Find Story Starters
- Story Central: Tap the Develop Workspace tile to access the latest selection of starters.
- Welcome Screen: If you’re jumping into Subtxt for the first time, you’ll see the option to explore Story Starters right away.
- Default Storyform Option: Not interested in a pre-made starter? You can always choose to start with the default storyform—an empty structure based on the typical narrative model found in Western storytelling.
Story Starters provide a quick and easy way to dive into storytelling with confidence. Whether you take one as-is, tweak a few details, or simply use them as inspiration, Subtxt ensures you have a solid foundation to build upon. Enjoy exploring new ideas and crafting your own unique narratives!
