![]() ![]() Next, I tackled the outer conflict, inner conflict, and stakes for each scene. This is easy to do-just click the “New Scene” button, type the title, and move it to where you want it on the map. I also realized several times that I needed to add a new scene for the motivations to make sense. I took my time to ensure the storyline moved along logically and the motivations made sense. Here I referred constantly to the story map and character profiles I had already created. Once I had all the scenes I thought I would need, I went back to the first one and entered the outer and inner motivation. This was just to get the ideas down and see where the story was going. Initially, I just added the scene with the title and the primary emotion. I started by adding scenes that moved the plot along. If you feel both versions require too much information, the Timeline tool lets you enter a title and description with nothing else. That, to me, was important-to know why the scene exists and what the characters want to achieve. You can capture similar information in either, but the Formal Scene Map broke down into more detail and allowed me to identify the motivations for the scene. There are two mapping tools, so I tried one of each. Fast forward to my discovery of One Stop for Writers’ Scene Maps. ![]() This worked much better, but there were still scenes I needed to add, a lot of thinking I had to do about why the characters were doing things, and what would move the story in the right direction. I quickly realized this wasn’t the way for me.įor my second novel, I wrote an outline of scenes with one sentence to describe the basic action. I wrote scenes I didn’t need I wrote myself down dead-end paths. It worked, I finished the book, but it took forever. So of course we said yes…įor my first novel, I took the pantster approach. He was so excited, he asked if he could write a post about it. Rodney Buxton recently reached out to let us know how much he appreciated the Scene Maps tool and the ability to export his One Stop tools to Scrivener. So when we get notes from writers going on about One Stop’s tools…well. Rather, I think it shows how eager folks are to hear out and encourage a diversity of use cases.Īnd with that, I’ll this thread… folks can message me if you have concerns or questions or favourite emoji to share.Many of you know that Angela and I are super excited about One Stop for Writers and how it simplifies the writing process for authors. I don’t think the evidence supports the interpretation that this community is dismissive or hard to please. And that doesn’t include all the additional context, use cases, suggestions, and details found in the replies to those threads. 150+ previous requests were so well-received that they’re now in # feature-request-archive. There are 1000+ “sparks” in # feature-requests that have been well-received. Alas, maybe it is the Canadian superpower…) I almost locked the thread when I replied above, but I was hoping the OP would respond earlier, perhaps to clarify-or, maybe, apologize in some way shape or form… (As a Canadian, saying “sorry” is the opposite of shameful. ![]() I do think the “pile on” here is unnecessary. Integrating Microsoft OneDrive/Office/365 Files into ObsidianĪye.That being said, here are two related topics where the community has helped before: I would really recommend looking at other posts too and not take this post as the only picture of what the community does, because almost always the community is trying to help out. One of the best things about Obsidian is definitely the community, and I’m sorry the first impression we gave you/you got from us was a bad one. The initial content and tone of the post make it a little hard to offer any help, other than to point out how each of us is using it and maybe help OP see it from other people’s point of view (and this is what I got from both the harsh and non-harsh responses), or how some of the recently implemented features are actually useful for a lot of us. Welcome, I agree that some of the earlier comments sound a bit harsh on OP, but the latter posts read to me as examples of how people use Obsidian as a “serious” tool and not so much as piling on. ![]()
