Getting Started
Create a new project, add your first character, and define goal, fear, and core desire. Add one flaw and a turning event to give clear motivation from page one.
Create characters, locations, items, and magic, then link them to show relationships like friend, mentor, and home. Tag and nest elements so context stays with you while planning and writing.
Create a small label set for status and category, apply labels across elements and files, and filter by label to plan the next session quickly. Start with Draft, Needs research, and Final, then add faction or role labels to support search.
Use boards like a detective wall. You can add story elements and link them with labeled arrows to show cause and effect across your plot. Use one board per arc, chapter, or system and rearrange elements as the story changes.
Place anchor events first, then add relative moments like one month after the treaty. Link characters and locations, and use labels to mark arcs and spot gaps quickly.
Outline scenes before you draft so every scene serves a goal and ends with a hook that drives the next step forward. For each scene note purpose, high moment, outer and inner conflict, change, point of view, sensory detail, and hooks.
In Home open Collaboration, enter the invite code, and confirm. The shared project appears in your list and you can start working together.
