See what a different structure brings into view.
Give your draft another point of view.
A structure gives you questions to ask of a story. StoryRuler puts different approaches within reach, with short lessons and a writing workspace you can use without an account.
StoryRuler is free to use. Open the writing tool to begin an outline, or explore the lessons first. Its original experiment, The Story Engine, remains in the numbered collection.

The live product has its own writing workspace, lessons and visualizations. Explore the current site for the complete interactive experience.
The Story Engine became StoryRuler.
The initial experiment brought 30 narrative structures onto one timeline. It developed into a full storytelling product, while the original numbered gallery entry stays intact.
