About the 100-word drabble generator
Create a 100 word drabble starting point, excluding the title, and study how a complete small story uses its limited space.
How to use this tool
Start with the controls above, including what is it about?, mood, a person or character. Set the preferences that matter for your project, then generate a result and read it in context. Change one setting at a time to compare directions. Keep useful ideas before trying another variation so you can review your choices together.
Tips for choosing and refining results
Write a short next scene using the idea you like most. If the premise feels difficult to continue, change the immediate obstacle before adding more characters or background.
Treat the output as a starting point for a story you will develop. Ask what the protagonist wants, what blocks that desire, and what changes because of a choice. Connect events through consequences so the draft feels purposeful rather than like a series of unrelated surprises. Keep details that fit your setting and replace those that do not. As you revise, check the opening promise against the ending and leave enough room for the reader to understand the stakes.
Keep a short note explaining what interested you in the premise. That original question can guide revisions when the outline becomes more complicated and help you decide which new scenes belong in the same story.
