![]() I use Aeon timeline and find it to be an essential tool for writing a contemporary thriller. You can then look down to see which characters are involved in which events - and even turn on features that allow you, for one example, to immediately see the age of each character at the time of each event - and tons of other useful and time saving features. ![]() ![]() You can then easily create new plot points on the timeline, instantly shift them around, and do all kinds of other things. Or you can zoom way in and see day by day or hour by hour detail of your storyline. In this way you can easily see the whole overview of your story at once no matter how many years (or hundreds of years) it may span. The timeline itself moves across the screen horizontally allowing you to zoom in and out of it - in the same way a film editor does in editing programs like Final Cut or Avid where you have the whole movie in a timeline, and can scroll around on it and zoom in and out of different parts to make changes. Then turn arcs on and off depending on what you look at. You can group them into different arcs like “backstory” or anything else you like. Then you can easily create and move around plot points. You can enter all your characters (or anything else you want) as “entities". Aeon Timeline is a simple and extremely powerful tool for tracking plots, arcs, characters, backstory etc.
