How it works

  1. Say what happened

    The memory in a few lines, with any details you remember.

  2. Pick who it's for

    A social post, a speech or toast, a blog, your family or just you. Then a tone, like Heartfelt or Funny.

  3. Shape the ending

    Ask for a stronger ending, a hook at the start or a shorter version.

An example

What happened?

summer i was 9, grandpa taught me to fish at the lake behind his house i was too impatient, kept reeling in he said the fish come when you stop checking he passed 2 yrs ago

Your story

The summer I was nine, my grandpa taught me to fish at the lake behind his house. I was terrible at it. Every few seconds I'd reel the line back in to see if anything was there. He watched me do this for a while. Then he said, "The fish come when you stop checking." I thought he was only talking about fish. He passed away two years ago, and I still think about that line whenever I'm waiting on something I can't hurry.

Then make it yours

  • More vivid
  • Stronger ending
  • Hook opening
  • Funnier
  • Shorter
  • Try again
