Squibler’s novel idea generator helps you brainstorm unique and engaging plot ideas for novels. Here’s a quick guide to getting started:
Click the "Generate New Idea" button above to create a novel idea. The tool will produce a plot in the writing prompt generator in the following format: "[main character] who is [adjective] [action] a [secondary character adjective] [secondary character] to [objective] in a story about [theme]."
If you like certain elements of the generated idea, you can lock them by clicking on the specific parts you want to keep. This way you can generate new story ideas while keeping the aspects you love. Locking key elements, such as the main character or the story theme, allows you to explore fresh concepts with different settings, conflicts, and plot twists.
For example, if the generator creates: "A warrior who is conflicted joins forces with a rebellious noble to overthrow a tyrant in a story about sacrifice," and you’re intrigued by the warrior character, you can lock that element and generate a new plot. You might then get something like: "A warrior who is haunted by the past protects a young heir from assassins in a redemption story."
This gives you full control over the components of your novel and enriches your imagination and creative process. You can continue tweaking the idea until you find the perfect concept for your next project.
Once you are satisfied with your novel idea, click the "Start Writing" button to proceed. You can choose to generate either a full-length novel or a detailed outline based on your idea. This way, you get inspired with a compelling plot with an entire draft or a structured framework that makes the writing process easier.
After you have the perfect idea for your novel, there are endless possibilities to bring it to life. Click "Start Writing" to decide how you want to move forward your next story. You can choose between generating a complete novel draft or a comprehensive outline, depending on how much control you want over your novel’s development.
If you’re looking to quickly produce a complete draft of a good story, generating a full-length novel is the ideal choice. The AI uses your idea to create a fully developed novel with well-structured chapters, character arcs, and plot progression. You can always refine and edit the draft according to your vision.
For more control over the story development, generating an outline is a great option. The AI creates an outline using a traditional story structure, including key elements like introduction, rising action, climax, and resolution. The outline provides a roadmap with chapter summaries and plot points that you can use to expand and enrich the novel.
If you choose an outline, Squibler’s editor can help you flesh out the story further. The outline includes chapter summaries, which you can develop into full chapters using Squibler’s AI Smart Writer. With the Smart Writer, you can write, revise, and refine your content, making the writing process smoother and more manageable.
