Overview

The Scenes section shows the working story beats inside the chapter. Scenes are where action, viewpoint, location, time, consequence and continuity details are tracked.

When Should I Use This?

Use it to check whether the chapter has a clear beginning, development and turn. It is also useful when you need to reorder, add or archive scenes.

How To Use It

Open a scene to edit its planning details, use the order controls to adjust the chapter flow, and scan summaries to see whether the chapter movement still makes sense.

Example

One chapter might contain a warning scene, a discovery scene and a reaction scene. Together they create a single reader-facing movement.

Writer Tip

If a chapter feels flat, look at its scenes and ask what changes by the end of each one.

Common Mistakes

• Treating a chapter as one large scene.
• Moving scenes without checking surrounding continuity.
• Keeping scenes in a chapter after their purpose has shifted elsewhere.
