Story Planning
Use this for pre-page decisions: what the story wants, what options exist, and how chosen direction becomes outline structure. Do not use it for production prose or critique.
Load only the resource needed:
- `resources/story-planning.md` — author-facing direction and option synthesis.
- `resources/story-planning.md` — exploratory capture and source tagging.
- `resources/story-planning.md` — arc, chapter, scene, and beat structure.
Write novels, short stories, and serial fiction with AI that maintains your voice, tracks your continuity, and gets better the more you use it.
