Life mapped for the storyteller

Nibnook is a web-based story mapping workspace.

Remember when you had a great story idea? Remember how the characters came to life in your mind? As the light of the idea grew in your imagination, the world became more vivid and illuminated. You smile as you think about sharing your story with readers. But as you sit down to write, other things take shape, you become unclear about where to begin, what to write, and how to bring it all together.

Writing is hard, and there is so much to learn. Your story burns inside you, waiting to be shared. As your confidence begins to fade, you wonder what makes you think you can do this anyway? Your mind and heart begin pulling at each other but yet, your story is screams to be heard. Perhaps you've tried other sites, other tools but nothing gave that holistic vision of your story, a sense of completion about what it's all about and how to execute it step by step.

But there is a solution—a way to gain momentum, greater vision and insight. A way to accelerate your writing process, giving you a fighting chance of finishing your story, and giving your idea a chance to come alive… nibnook.

Nibnook eliminates writer’s block with a unique algorithm that delivers a personalized story mapping workspace. The platform uses archetypal questions to create individual storylines, develop characters and build worlds within minutes allowing writers and authors of all genres, fiction and nonfiction a more efficient way to accomplish their goals.

There is at least three core parts to the Nibnook writer’s platform: The Playground, Workbooks, and Story Map with guided writing nooks.

Playground
The Playground is the development center. It is where you begin projects and allows the writers to flesh out their story by answering key questions that define and fulfill key elements of storytelling.

Storybooks
The storybooks provide information about your story, characters and worlds. They allow you to find answers about your stories, characters and worlds with questions that can range from 12 to over 100 and uses the nibnook algorithm to create succinct and insightful information about the entirety of your work.

Nibnook story map with guided writing nook
The story map is a complete map of your story from beginning to its end. It provides information about your character interactions, motivations and section-to-section connections. The writing nook provides a visual story map that allows the writer to see the big picture and follow their story from beginning to end. Not only can you see your story’s map, you can also see the maps and perspectives of all the characters involved in your project from individual point of view. You develop the characters background; it also provides the map of your world and character’s life span with who and what are involved in their life from birth to death. The writer is able to use the information provided by the storybook to write their story within the writing nook.

Nibnook Q&A

Here are some commonly asked questions about the nibnook tool.

What exactly does nibnook do?

To put it simply, nibnook does what was once impossible. It can solve the plague of writer’s block and the anxiety of the blank page. It does this by asking you to think about your characters and worlds and the roles they play in your story in new ways. It then plugs the information you provide into the nibnook algorithm and a complete map of your story, character and worlds come to life. It does not write your story but outlines it by showing you how your characters are interacting and for what reason from the beginning to the end of your work. It also provides you with the perspective of every character’s outline within your story. Nibnook is not magic but it works. Mathematical algorithm integrated with social psychology equals nibnook.

Our story


The spark of an idea

Eight years ago, I had an idea to write a book about a world that I wanted to live in. I had never written a novel, so I began a journey to learn how to bring my world to life. I immediately learned one simple fact—writing is hard. This awareness brought me to the next phase of my writing journey. I realized it is not enough for me to just to know the rules of writing; it must become an innate and instinctive process so I can freely explore my imagination during the writing process.


I tried all the writing tools I could get my hands on. I found many that were useful, and even more that were not. All the tools gave me just a piece of the whole picture I was looking for. I was on the search for something impossible—I wanted a tool that not only outlined my story for me, but also gave me incredible details I wanted about my characters (without first answering a thousand questions) and freedom from the block of what came next. I got to work searching for an answer. My intuition felt a solution was at hand and I was determined to find it.

The birth of Nibnook

Four years ago while helplessly searching through my collage of outlines, characters and connections, I discovered the answer. After many first drafts and a feeling that I needed more in my work, I created a system that forever changed me as a writer—the Nibnook algorithm.

With Nibnook, I found a sense of relief, knowing that within the mathematics of nature there is an algorithm where every story I wanted to write already existed. The Nibnook writing tool is an online platform that is the solution for writer’s block for those of every level and genre.

The Nibnook revolution

Even with all the challenges of developing the tool, quitting was impossible because I knew one thing: Nibnook would be a game changer. It has given me confidence about the development of my stories, characters and worlds. The Nibnook tool does something I once thought was unimaginable.

How Nibnook works

Upon answering archetypal questions, Nibnook outlines your story—stage by stage—from beginning to end. It develops your character’s life story, history and storyline outline within minutes, builds your worlds from the ground up and provides a guided writing space for you to set your imagination free.

How is this possible? The tool’s algorithm creates billions of combinations that are based on the choices you make about your character’s purpose within your story. Nibnook does not write your story— that exists only within the depth of your imagination—but it does gives you a psychological foundation of your character’s interactions and connections.

Everyone has a book in them, whether it’s story you’ve always imagined creating, or the biography of a life hard lived and won that deserves to be shared with others. My passions for writing has caused me to persevere and bring Nibnook to the public in order to help others fulfill their story-writing dreams. Whether you plan to just write for yourself, publish or publish for the tenth time, Nibnook will liberate you from the blank page.
