If a story doesn’t finish

Sometimes a story stops partway while it’s being made. It’s on our side, not something you did.

  1. Open the story and choose Try again. Most stories finish on the second go, in about five minutes.
  2. If it stops again, go to Home and make it once more with the same idea. Your words are still in the box.

A story that doesn’t finish doesn’t count against your plan.

If it fails twice with the same idea, try saying it a little differently. Some ideas need a gentler way in (see When a story idea can’t be made).
