Writing Planner

the architecture of a novel, the parts before the draft. plot arc, characters, scenes, revision. for building the book, not write-every-day hype.

how it works
this is a page bank, not a finished planner. you choose the pages, you choose the order, and you name the six sections of the table of contents yourself. duplicate what you use daily, ignore what you don't. 13 page designs plus the complimentary basics, every one linked from the index. nothing is dated, so week one is whenever you open it.

what's inside
· story seed — the idea, cast, stakes, and more, before you start plotting
· plot arc — the eight beats from setup to resolution
· character — origin, wants, conflict, and more
· character arc — internal change plotted across a timeline
· character mapping — four characters rated across twenty traits, light to shadow
· character voice — vocabulary, rhythm, tics, and the word they never say
· relationships — type, history, dynamic, and more
· setting — what's present, who's there, what happened, and more
· scene card — pov, goal, conflict, and more
· dialogue — wants, blocks, the turn, and a beat ladder for the exchange
· storyboard — visual sequence layout
· outline — a numbered outline with a plot-arc pacing column
· revision notes — chapter, the issue, the fix, and more
