In Story Genius, Lisa recommends that you have six folders to keep track of your story’s facets: Key Characters, The Rules of the World, Idea List, Random Scene Cards, Scene Cards in Development, and Scenes. Then, delete the Chapter folder and Untitled document (select an item to delete and go to Documents->Move to Trash). If you don’t care about having a document template for the scene cards or character bios, I’d choose the Blank project template. NOTE: You cannot delete the Draft, Research, or Trash folders, though you can rename them and change their icons. If you’re going to use a document template (like a form you can fill out repeatedly without ruining the original) as a basis for your Story Genius-style scene cards or character bios, I recommend choosing the Novel project template-which already has a Templates folder built in-and then deleting everything you don’t need. When you create a new project in Scrivener, your first decision is which project template (predefined framework) to select. I’ve even included a Lisa Cron-approved Scrivener template in case you want to skip setting it up yourself. Here’s how I’m using Scrivener to support the Story Genius process.

The writing software is perfect for keeping all of the elements together, from “What If?” through to “The End.”

I recently started working through Story Genius by Lisa Cron to help me write the fourth story in my romantic suspense series, and long before she started talking about organization (Chapter 11), I was-shocking, I know-thinking about how to set things up in Scrivener.
