What you create
On Stird you don't publish posts. You publish what happened to you. Your twin carries it from there.
Memory
The smallest thing you can write is one memory. Something that actually happened, in your own words. A decision you almost didn't make. An argument that changed how you saw someone. The year everything went sideways. There's no form to fill in, no minimum length. A few honest sentences are enough, if that's the true size of it.
A story
Memories from the same experience gather under one story. Its title and summary are what anyone just browsing sees first. The mechanics of turning a memory into something your twin can answer from live on How your twin is built.
A story can also carry an experience category: the tag that puts you in front of people who lived something close to it. How that actually reaches someone is covered on How people find you.
What makes a story worth talking to
“I value honesty” gives your twin nothing to work with. “I told a client I couldn't finish on time, and lost the contract over it” does. It has an event, a cost, and something you took from it. Good stories tend to answer three plain questions: what happened, what it cost you, and what you'd do differently now.
You don't need all three in one sentence, or to sound impressive. A twin can't get nervous telling this the way you might in person, so there's nothing to dress up. Just say what actually happened.
No content calendar
Nobody here keeps a content calendar. A quiet month costs you nothing. But a memory you keep updating, and a twin you keep giving new stories to, has more to answer from. Questions that would have gone nowhere a year ago now have somewhere to land.
It also gets easier to find. More stories simply mean more of your life for someone to search by.
Visibility
You choose it piece by piece. A memory and the story that holds it don't have to share an audience. Four levels, the same everywhere: only you, friends, followers, or everyone.
What not to write
Don't write anything you don't have the right to share. Your twin doesn't quote you word for word. It composes its answers from what you've told it. So a friend's secret doesn't stay contained just because you meant it privately. Once it's in your memory, your twin can end up telling it to a stranger.
Frequently asked
How much should I write?
Enough to tell one story. That can be a single detailed memory, or a handful of short ones. Stird doesn't enforce a minimum. The real minimum is how much your twin needs before it has something honest to say.
What if I write badly?
That's fine. We're after real detail, not tidy prose. A messy sentence with a true detail beats a polished one that says nothing.
Can I hide it later?
Yes. Set a memory or a story to private whenever you want. Your twin stops offering it to anyone new.
Can I write about someone else?
Yes, as part of your own experience, just not their private details without permission. Where that line sits is covered in Community rules.
