Capture your ideas
Save a fleeting image as an idea, and organize characters and places into entries. Leave unfinished thoughts in your project until you are ready to return to them.
A thought can grow into a whole world.
A thought can grow into a whole world.
Stories often start small: a character, an encounter, or a continent without a name. As the story unfolds, new plotlines and details join it and begin to shape one another.
Zhixu gives these ideas a space you can return to and rearrange. Capture them, then connect them; start with a single scene and gradually see the whole story.
Follow your ideas, one step at a time.
Connect the plot
Lay out key events over time and let each character's journey take its own course. Use links to trace their connections, gradually making sense of encounters, conflicts, and turning points.
Give your world shape
Map the places where your story happens, add regions and details, and record how the world changes over time.
Pick up the threads and keep writing whenever you return.
