Tech: An app aids the practice of storytelling with prompts

Katha Kosa, a city-based story club, has launched an app to aid writers and creative games. This app (available on Google Play) is a simple assortment of prompts for ideas that may lead to stories.


The creator of the app, Dhara Kothari, who is also the founder of Katha Kosa, says, “I had created a few story games earlier, like cards as prompts for stories; later, I felt that an app would have a greater reach.

There are apps, which deal with logical games but hardly any concerned with creative pursuits. So, I thought this would be a good intervention.”

When you start the app you come to a page that looks like a cookie jar. You can either shuffle the jar or pick a cookie. Once you click on the cookie that appears on the screen, it gives you a prompt, (we got Wild Animal) and then go ahead and write something on that.
