Overview

Chapter Workflow brings one chapter's intent, scene readiness, blockers and checklist signals into a single working view. It is a bridge between chapter planning and scene-level work.

When Should I Use This?

Use it when a chapter feels vague, uneven, blocked or ready for review. It is especially useful before starting a writing session for a specific chapter.

How To Use It

Review the readiness counts, update chapter goals, then scan the scene workflow summary for blocked, draft-ready, revision-ready and polish-ready scenes.

Example

If a chapter has three scenes but only one is ready to draft, the workflow view helps you see whether the others need decisions, notes or structural changes first.

Writer Tip

Think of this page as a chapter briefing. It should help you know what the chapter is trying to do before you open individual scenes.

Common Mistakes

• Drafting scenes before the chapter's purpose is clear.
• Treating readiness counts as quality scores.
• Forgetting to update goals after restructuring the chapter.
