#Aeon timeline yearly how to

I wonder if thats the way to go, to create lifelong events, for the people closest to the main character as well? All of the sudden I see myself with alot of work ahead of me.Īny other ideas on how to use Aeon Timeline together with Scrivener for best effect is appreciated. I have made a lifelong event for my four main characters where I add scenes and other events that affect the character - is there a way to mark or highlight the most important milestone for the character? I plan to have all things with an arc, big or small, in story arcs - but I want to create a field for character development, things that just develop the character explained with some notes that can be connected to a custom meta data slot in Scrivener - any ideas how to do that? I get confused when there is talk about parent and child within Aeon timeline, as characters too are parents and child - can I get some examples from the world of fiction how I should think about events in the parent child context? Can someone explain it so it makes sense even if its not the best way for me? Correct?Ĭharacters and relationships, I understand why you would wanna create characters but why would you for example have someone be a wife of someone, if the book is for a longer period of time and the relationship cant be limited to, for example 10 years? I was told by another person here at the forum that its better to create events for those things - I have done that but I still have difficulty getting why you would wanna limit yourself with relationships between characters at all really. I get a bit confused about some things, if someone can explain it really basic to me.Įvents are things that happen from what I understand, scenes, people are born, wars and such. I write on a project with jumps in time (over a 40-50 year period) and thats not told in chronological order - that means that character arcs and development are important for me to track, both from the charcters view but from a reader standpoint as well.
