![]() ![]() I try to keep mostly simple text files in Scrivener along with a few images. I also keep a database outside Scrivener in DEVONthink Pro Office. I sometimes name this folder Unordered Scenes.) But as the work evolves so does my workspace. (Notice the folder for Unused Scenes, ones I want to use but haven’t figured out where they go yet. I start a project in the simplest way with hardly any folders. With everything I’ve written in Scrivener I’ve used a different setup. Click on it for the full size image in all its (redacted) glory. Here’s a screenshot of the novel in Scrivener, edited to keep secrets, well, secret. Worlds, races and religions, oh my! I shudder at the thought of keeping all those ideas in my goofy little brain or on one long page of scribbled notes. ![]() At my current level of development for this project I definitely want one. You may not always need that but sometimes you may. Scrivener makes doing your Story Bible easy too. Or do like I do and break it up in as many different ways as you like. And that gives me another idea which changes another idea and leads to yet another one. Which means bouncing all over the place when I realize I need to change something in one place that also means I need to change something somewhere else. Scrivener lets me write the way I want to. Or pretty soon, anyway, but probably not until after NaNoWriMo so I won’t scramble my brain while I’m working on the rough draft. Bought it a while back knowing I didn’t need it yet but would eventually. Now I will finally have need of Aeon Timeline. Finally got far enough along (21,055 words!) in creating the story world in Scrivener that I needed to start the Story Bible. ![]()
