Before you write a single line of prose, you’ll have a complete blueprint for your book. Here’s what it looks like, using a story you already know.
The windows were ajar and gleaming white against the fresh grass outside that seemed to grow a little way into the house. A breeze blew through the room, blew curtains in at one end and out the other like pale flags, twisting them up toward the frosted wedding-cake of the ceiling, and then rippled over the wine-colored rug, making a shadow on it as wind does on the sea.
The only completely stationary object in the room was an enormous couch on which two young women were buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon. They were both in white, and their dresses were rippling and fluttering as if they had just been blown back in after a short flight around the house.
I must have stood for a few moments listening to the whip and snap of the curtains and the groan of a picture on the wall. Then there was a boom as Tom Buchanan shut the rear windows and the caught wind died out about the room, and the curtains and the rugs and the two young women ballooned slowly to the floor.
The younger of the two was a stranger to me. She was extended full length at her end of the divan, completely motionless, and with her chin raised a little, as if she were balancing something on it which was quite likely to fall.
If she saw me out of the corner of her eyes she gave no hint of it — indeed, I was almost surprised into murmuring an apology for having disturbed her by coming in.
Every project starts with a tight identity card. One glance tells you the book’s DNA.
Every chapter. Every scene. Every decision — made before you write.
Pull up any character while writing. Know how they talk, what they want, what they’re hiding.
You’ve built characters, developed scenes, assembled chapters. But have you considered everything? Did a subplot slip through the cracks? Is a character missing for three chapters?
The app doesn’t just help you build — it helps you verify.
