This handy app delivers hundreds of carefully crafted writing prompts to get your creative project started. Don’t waste another hour of precious writing time staring at a blank page and start channelling inspiration at the touch of a button. These are story prompts with a difference. Many new writers fixate on the most outlandish premises they can find and over-look the most impactful plots of all: true life stories.

Life Writing take a different approach. Filled with purpose-designed and perfectly-pitched writing prompts, this is a super-simple writing tool to help you discover the stories that only you can tell.

- 1,500 quirky prompts
- Unique ideas not computer generated word-salads
- Expertly crafted by story-loving humans
- Perfectly pitched to spark idiosyncratic stories
- Prompts widely applicable for everyone
- Recap function
- Sleek, simple design
- Works offline
- No adverts, in-app purchases, push notifications or other distractions
- iOS 9 and iOS 10 compatible

Whether creating fiction or non-fiction, true life stories can be the starting point for popular podcasts, beautiful blogs, next-level novels and awesome autobiographies. Use yours to create songs, documentaries, poems, campaigns, plays, films, comedy, short stories or connected communities. In a world of identikit infotoxins, it’s every good writer’s duty to make the world more human by sharing our lives as they really are.

To find inspiration and start connecting through story, follow podcasts, read memoir and go to storytelling shows. When you don’t have the time for all this but need to kick-start your writing, there’s the Life Writing app. If your writing time is precious but your inspiration isn’t flowing, spark your creativity at the touch of a button. Leave far-fetched plot scenarios behind and turn your attention closer to home. Forget Gandalf and Batman in epic battle at the Large Hadron Collider, and choose storytelling that packs a real punch.

Pitched between too-specific and too-general, between rugby tackling royalty and making beans on toast, these are prompts designed for real people. So what if you’ve never sky-dived with Cameron Diaz or played pool with Blur? Forget celebrity culture and instagram perfection: you have important stories to share.

Life stories are about the quirky details that make us who we are. True life tales are unique yet relatable, familiar yet surprising, universal yet idiosyncratic. Sometimes momentary, sometimes monumental, this is the stuff of lived experience and we all have our own versions to tell.

Life Writing is for people who:
- struggle with writer’s block
- need to make the most of their writing time
- are looking for new ideas
- fear they don’t have any stories
- write fiction or non-fiction
- are beginners, dabblers, literati, bloggers, activists, community leaders, artists, authors, journallers, entrepreneurs, therapists, performers, self-publishers, film makers, musicians, graphic novelists and anyone seeking connection through storytelling.

Life Writing is NOT for people who:
- think autobiography is for celebrities
- live life with the filters on
- want to copy others
- won’t give their imagination time to shine
- don’t believe that true storytelling makes a difference.

Unlock your memories, spark your imagination, find your voice and start life writing today.
