WriteSparks! Lite

Sure enough it’s the time when entertainment mostly means playing video games, watching movies, or listening to music. However, this doesn’t mean fiction is dead. On the contrary, a computer is a powerful tool for story writing, and WriteSparks! Lite is the type of tool to use when inspiration isn’t really by your side.

Before you can enjoy all the application has to offer, you need to make sure that your computer is fitted with .NET Framework, because it’s a mandatory requirement for functionality. On launch, an intuitive window shows up, where there’s also a space in which to write your story, as well as a field in which suggestions are displayed, based on your requests.

What the application does is attempt to help you get started, or get you out of sticky situations in which you don’t really know how to go on with your story. A simple selection of the word generator of interest displays a suggestion, and you can get more by simply hitting the generate button.

Truth be told, the application not only comes with an impressive variety of generators, but also a rich list of words and phrases you can use in your work. As such, you can generate first text lines, cliches, mixed metaphors, mixed proverbs, random story words, what if stories, as well as quick prompts.

As mentioned, there’s a dedicated field in which to write your story. It’s possible to set up a timer, in case you only want to work a specific amount of minutes per day. You’re alerted when the time goes up, and you can copy all written text to clipboard at the press of a button.

To sum up, WriteSparks! Lite might not be a fully fledged writing aid tool, but it’s sure to at least give you a hint of how to start phrases, or even develop a story altogether. Various generators can be used, while the dedicated space lets you write all of your ideas, or even the entire story.
