Story Intelligence
Timeline
See your story in order.
The Timeline arranges every scene and event on a spine you can shape — chronological, in-story, or both — with automatic continuity checks.
Overview
The Timeline arranges every scene and event on a spine you can shape — chronological, in-story, or both — with automatic continuity checks whenever the order changes.
Why writers use it
- Reorder scenes without breaking your plot.
- Spot pacing gaps at a glance.
- Reconcile in-story and chronological time.
Key capabilities
- Chronological + narrative timelines
- Drag-and-drop scene reordering
- Continuity flags on the timeline
Problems it solves
- Reordering scenes and quietly breaking cause and effect.
- Losing track of in-story time versus real-world time.
- Pacing gaps you cannot see from inside a single scene.
- Non-linear structures that fall apart during revision.
How it fits the Mastering Your Scenes Methodology
The methodology treats time as a design tool. The Timeline exposes it — so cause, effect, and pacing are visible while you plan and revise.
