Snowflake template scrivener

The Scrivener novel template only holds one. But still, you have the standard characters sketch also, so you can decide if you maybe want to work with that one also. And for that you can use the structure in the draft folder, which is taken from the Scrivener novel template without any changes. One more thing. I put all these documents in a collection because this makes compiling a lot easier.

I had a request to share my snowflake method template in Scrivener. Here are a couple of screen shots to show how I did this. It took me about five minutes to create. Basically, I just created a page for each of the snowflake steps in scrivener. I pasted into the page the directions for that step.

Then I saved the folder as a template. Not too sophisticated, but it seems to work for me. I also modified the character sketch template to be a bit more detailed. This forces me to really think through each character. I think prior to filling this out, I will be doing a mind map for the characters to get the broad stroke ideas for them, and then come back to this template and fill out the detail.

I have included the components of the Snowflake method single sentence, paragraph, character sketches, synopsis as standard parts of the Scrivener outline intro, contents, chapters, glossary.

Often though I get ahead of myself and jump to writing small sections. Hopefully they can be reformed to match the story line… Cheers Michael. I do that too. Maybe they will be used, maybe not, but the thoughtful act of writing can help to figure out how the story will go, the voice of the characters, plot angles, and just generally warms up the writing muscles. Section 7. I left it for an eternity and am just about to revive it!
