Part of Write
Chapter Planner
Plan your story chapter by chapter, in whatever structure fits it.
The Chapter Planner lays out your novel as a board of chapter cards. Give each card a title and a one-line summary. Start blank, from a chapter list, from three acts, or from Dwight Swain's scene and sequel.
Switch between board and list views. Set a point of view, a status and a word target on any chapter. Give a scene its goal, conflict and disaster, and a sequel its reaction, dilemma and decision. The Frameworks panel introduces Save the Cat!, the Hero's Journey, Seven-Point Story Structure and the Story Circle. Link the plan to your manuscript to jump to any chapter and see where you are as you write.
