Charts

This is interesting. Often we need to use our brains to organize our material in more than one way. This author goes so far as to use three kinds of writing software all at once, making duplicates, in order to stay aware of the total and all the parts achieved so far.

Already The Writer's Interface has given you a list of over 50 Events which are almost the same as scenes really. The Writer's Interface's list is generic. These are the main types of scenes in fiction. The writer uses this list to devise a list of his or her own scenes to use in telling story. You don't keep them all but you have them to choose from.

Note that in the glimpse of the chart we have on the right you see each of the generic events. Instead of using this list you make your own developmental list sequence of Events. They will then show up in this chart. When you give each of your story events a beginning and ending date in terms of your story, then they will appear here is bars for the length of fiction time involved. So, some events will be almost momentary and happen only on one day, while other events may spread over several days. Graphically you see this at a glance and can make adjustments. When you click on the title line in the graph you go right to the original page describing that event.
