Writing & Worldbuilding

The Story Weaver

Organize plot threads against character arcs. Rows are Character (Protagonist, Antagonist, Sidekick, Mentor); columns are Narrative Beat (Inciting Incident, Rising Action, Climax, Resolution).

What the two axes are

Rows — Character

  • Protagonist
  • Antagonist
  • Sidekick
  • Mentor

Columns — Narrative Beat

  • Inciting Incident
  • Rising Action
  • Climax
  • Resolution

And then pivot it

The same cards answer a different question when you swap the axes. Put Narrative Beat down the side and Character across the top and the board re-sorts itself — nothing is duplicated, nothing is re-entered, and every card keeps both of its values.

Yes. Every template is free on every plan, including Free, which allows five boards per space.
