Overview

Workflow Summary lists the scenes in a chapter with practical signals such as draft status, priority, warnings, checklist items, open notes and blockers.

When Should I Use This?

Use it when deciding what to work on next inside a chapter, or when checking whether the chapter is ready for drafting, revision or polish.

How To Use It

Scan the scene cards and choose the next useful action. A blocked scene may need a decision. A warning-heavy scene may need continuity attention. A ready scene may be safe to draft or polish.

Example

If one scene is blocked by a missing location and another is ready for revision, you can choose the task that fits the session instead of opening scenes at random.

Writer Tip

Use the summary to separate creative drafting from practical cleanup. Both matter, but they use different kinds of attention.

Common Mistakes

• Treating a blocked scene as ready because its summary sounds exciting.
• Ignoring warnings before polishing.
• Trying to fix every scene in one pass.
