Every document in NovelForge can have a color tag, making it easy to track multiple perspectives. Maybe John’s POV is red, Paul’s is yellow,
Ringo’s is blue… and the fourth one? Let’s go with green—if we’re feeling generous.
But color tags aren’t just for show—they make searching your manuscript a breeze. Assign them to chapters, notes, or timelines, and find
what you need in seconds!
As your story grows, keeping track of details becomes a challenge. You might
think you'll always remember where your protagonist stole their first kiss—or
their first spaceship—but trust us, you won’t. That’s where Smart Tags come in.
With Smart Tags, any text file can link to other documents, keeping everything in
sync. If a tag points to Chapter 22 and you later move it to Chapter 34, the link
updates automatically.
Tags instantly connect you to character descriptions, timelines, word sheets, or
other chapters. But they do more than just link—Smart Tags can insert text,
open a custom dictionary (yes, you can create your own!), or even search the
internet—if you choose to stay connected.
Smart Tags, Color Tags and Keywords
What’s plotting without a proper corkboard, complete with unflattering snapshots of relatives, random people from the internet, notes, wiggly
connection strings, and your most preposterous ideas?
Image Walls allow you to collect and arrange inspirational visuals, such as setting references, character portraits, or mood boards, providing
a rich, immersive writing environment.
Image Walls
Every item on the timeline can link directly to a
document in your project. Simply double-click, and
you'll be taken right to it!
Timelines are another versatile plotting tool, designed to adapt
perfectly to your unique way of thinking.
A timeline can be as simple as a sequence of events, like
chapters, beats, or scenes, or as detailed as a real-world
calendar with actual dates.
Zoom in to plan down to the hour for your intricate whodunit
mystery, or keep it high-level for broader story arcs.
With the ability to create multiple timelines, each with its own
time frame, you can not only organize your story but also your
life. Why not add deadlines for chapters or even your next
dentist appointment? Balance creativity and productivity with
ease!
Timelines help you track the chronological flow of your story, making it easy to visualize past events, flashbacks, and future developments.
Timelines
The Plot Board is a time-tested tool for crafting books, TV shows, and movie
scripts. It’s so timeless, it dates back to when people lived in caves. (Have you
seen the Lascaux cave paintings? That’s practically the plot of an action movie
right there!)
With Plot Board Cards, you can jot down a few words about each scene and
rearrange them within your novel's virtual space.
Need more than one Plot Board? No problem. You can create as many as you like.
One for each act, character, or story thread.
Like many features in NovelForge, the Plot Board supports keywords on sticky
notes that link to chapters, characters, other documents, or even other Plot
Boards. Plot boldly and organize effortlessly
Plot Boards offer a flexible visual workspace where you can map out story beats, arrange key events, and experiment with different
narrative structures.
Plot Boards
Character Cards let you create detailed profiles for each character, including names, traits, motivations, and relationships, ensuring
consistency throughout your novel. Settings Cards do the same for your world, organize locations, cultures, history, and world-building
details so everything stays cohesive as your story unfolds.
Characters and World Creator
From Plot Boards to Character Cards, Image Walls to Timelines, NovelForge offers tools for every
type of writer. Whether you're a Pantser, Plotter, or anything in between.
