how to use this site
1
Start by choosing a StoryBeat or album name that describes the scene or inflection in your story.
Is your protagonist looking back on a difficult period in her life? Start with Reflections or Dark Recollections. A montage of people getting to work on a project they mapped out in the last scene? Try Rolling up the Sleeves or Turning the Corner. Scan through Giving it a Go for a novice trying something new, or Closing Time for a poignant resolution.
