A Look Behind The Curtain
[monday] [dry] [03.212022]
Hey y'all. Just thought it would be fun to show off my writing set up on here this week.
While while working on THAT, I decided to use Notion.io. I found it fairly easy to use after some experimenting. I use notion for my internship anyway, so I thought I could use it for this too.
Any way, my main hub is split into three sections: Plotting, Characters, and Writing (it's labeled as Episodes as that's what I would like to refer to each installment as). After trying a few templates, I found this way to be the neatest and easiest way of organizing my writing for THAT.
The plotting sections has a bunch of folders with items related to the main chapter/episode. As of right now, there's only four: One Page Novel, Notes, Scenes, and Monster of the Week. The One Page Novel has my story bible that I can access whenever I need to see where the story needs to go. My notes holds things like lore, references, and even coding references too. The Scenes' page I plan on using for planning out chapters/episodes and the different paths for each character. The Monster of the Week page acts as a Rogue's Gallery of sorts where I can set up a page for every encounter the bunkmates will have in future chapters/episodes.
The character pages has all info related to the main three, as well as future characters that I have hidden (I'm so happy notion has filters). The character pages are where I will keep track of each character's skill sets, their strengths, equipment, rooms, etc. Seeing as the entire gimmick of this IF is to play through the same story as different characters, I would like having a place to keep track of them.
The episode pages have layouts from the scenes pages that are more definitive and plotted out. In addition to that, the bulk of the writing is here as well.
I tend to work my way from Left to Right going from ideas and plot lines and filtering that through the characters until finally they are written up into a chapter/episode.
Hope y'all enjoyed. Hope to share more with you all soon!
