Overview

Attention items are prompts from the project reference. They point to facts, scenes or continuity details that may need review.

When Should I Use This?

Use this section before drafting, before exporting the Story Bible, or during revision triage.

How To Use It

Read each item as a question. Decide whether it needs fixing now, should be handled later, or is intentionally unresolved.

Example

An attention item may remind you that a plot thread is still open or that a scene is missing a key location.

Writer Tip

Attention items reduce the burden of remembering everything. Let the reference system hold the nagging details.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating every attention item as urgent.
  • Ignoring items before a major export.
  • Forgetting that some unresolved questions are deliberate.
