scenes
Every scene,
in the order it matters
A scene is what the reader experiences. A moment in time, a location, a cast of characters. These are the chapters of your story. Narrativ lets you plan every scene before you write it, and see them all in the order they happen.
The card
Everything about a scene, at a glance.
Each scene card holds a title, chapter, location, and a cast of characters. Add a summary, set the tension level, and link it to the plotlines it carries forward. Notes live right there too.
