Recipes by kind of writer

Novelist

The Plan holds the whole book: a Sticky per beat, a Note per character (template: Character), the outline pinned as a tab. Write in the Draft with Navigation open for the chapter map. Companion checks continuity across a long manuscript: ask it about chapter four while standing in chapter forty. My Drafts holds every version.

Screenwriter

The screenplay editor formats as you type; Behaviour and SmartType make it fast (Tab to the next cue, auto-guess the speaker). Beats and the treatment live on the Plan (templates: Logline, Treatment, Beat Sheet). FDX in, FDX out, so Skrib fits any pipeline.

Fanfiction writer

Canon notes and the relationship map on the Plan, next to the chapter. A long serial lives as one project with a draft per chapter in My Drafts, foldered by arc. Companion (for those who want it) checks a detail against your own canon Notes via @.

Academic and non-fiction

Each section’s claim as a Sticky; each source as a file in the Library or a tile on the Plan, next to the paragraph that cites it. Ask Companion whether the argument follows, section by section. Export DOCX for the review round.

Journalist

Interview notes and quotes onto the Plan, structure from Companion (“Pull it into a chapter order” works on a story file too), write in the Draft, export clean.

Student

Type the prompt into a Note, break it into an outline on the Plan, fill each section in the Draft. Purist route if the school bars AI; the studio works the same without Companion.

Worldbuilder

The Plan is one canvas for the map, the magic rules, the factions, the timeline. The Library is the world bible. A glossary Note, pinned, keeps invented names one click away, and SmartType keeps them consistent in a script.
