I am trying to use TW for a complete, highly-structured outline for a series of books.
To achieve this, I have: - Books (volume of the series) - Chapters - Scenes (in the first instance, mostly one per chapter, but I want the model to be reusable so usually more) - Characters - Character-prominence-by-scene (point-of-view, present, referenced, mentioned) - Character-scene-arcs (the story from that character's perspective in the scene, and their evolution) That last one, which brings it all together, will create multiple thousands of tiddlers (there are multiple dozens of characters and about 100 scenes per book in the first series). What I want to be able to do is view all this content in logical, ordered clusters that don't need insane manual linking. For example, I want to be able to: - View a list of all chapters, by book, and navigate to each one to read its synopsis, the list of characters sorted by prominence, and all characters' chapter/scene-specific arcs. - With a bit of additional tagging, view the summaries of all chapters dealing with a specific plot-arc/theme. - View all summaries for a single PoV character's chapters, in order. - View all chapter/scene arcs for a single character, in order. One obvious challenge is that I expect to need to be able to insert/remove chapters/scenes from the overall order, and need this not to involve manually adjusting dozens of other scenes to keep the order correct. Does anyone have any recommendations on best-practice design and architecture for this project, how to name, how to tag, what fields should be added? And either basic guidance or examples on creating suitable filtering tools (especially dynamic ones).
