One could go more macro and make entire chapters events or more granular and make beats within scenes the events. I will discuss properties and entities a bit more when I get to the third leg of the tripod.Īs a writer, events in Timeline are synonymous with scenes in my novel.

I attach characters to events as either “Participants” (that character is actually present during the event) or “Referred to” (the character is not present but is referred to in the event). Character entities can be attached as metadata to an event in multiple ways. Characters are not created as part of an event. An example of an entity might be “character”. When does this event begin and when does it end? All events have a date range. One obvious event property would be date range. Timeline attaches metadata in the form of event properties which are specific to an event and what it calls “entities” which are separate things that can be shared across multiple events.

It is available in both Mac and Windows versions.Īeon Timeline basically is what it sounds like, a tool to create events along a timeline and - this is crucial - attach metadata to this events. Aeon Timeline is pitched as a tool for project management, tracking legal proceedings and several other tasks but for me it is the writing aspect that is paramount. The second leg of my tripod is another piece of software, Aeon Timeline.

I found the help, in spades and entirely by chance. Given the length and structural complexity of the narrative, I needed some help just managing the whole thing. There are also occasional short journal entries from an initially unknown character who eventually becomes known and joins the rest of the cast of about 20 significant characters. This back and forth continues chapter after chapter until, somewhere in the middle, the two timelines converge. The second chapter takes place in 1987 when this couple first meet. The first chapter opens in 2009 when my middle-aged couple meet after a long separation. The work, I hope, is about a lot of things but at its core it is a love story. Another complexity is the way the narrative unfolds over time. Given the particular story I wanted to tell and the manner of the telling, this was going to take a while. I didn’t expect this at the beginning, but looking back I can now see the length was probably inevitable. It has turned out to be an extremely long novel.
