Ask HN: How would you improve this app description to increase sales?

To be honest the copy looks fine. What swings the decision to download an app for me are the images showing the interface (generally a walkthrough) and the app icon. That and the reviews.
Possibly tie the random title generator to the 'pieces' idea? It is essentially writing prompts yes?

There are quite a few errors in the copy, which are likely to put off some users. For example: "You're writing is made up of pieces" (rather than the correct "Your writing").
I should have done a better job of proofreading before asking for advice. Thank you very much I'll fix that.

A DIFFERENT WAY TO WRITE
• Write in 'pieces'. You're writing is made up of pieces that you can add whenever you like.
• You'll find that adding pieces to your stories, poems, essays, blogs, and other types of writing feels as seamless with your day as text messaging has become.
• Focus only on your writing. When you're in writing mode all other text fades away.
NEED SOME INSPIRATION?
• The random title generator can help you get started whenever you can't quite think of what to write about.
