Would you like to use a writing alias?

Your alias appears beside The Script Skillet. It is only a display name; it does not create an account or sign you in.

Try the original encrypted file

The saved copy on this device could not be unlocked.

The password may be incorrect, or the device-saved copy may be out of date. If you still have the original .story file, choose it and The Script Skillet will try the same password again. A successful open will refresh the saved copy on this device.

Save an encrypted version

This creates another encrypted .story file and updates the working-copy label. It won’t overwrite existing downloads.
