Scriptri 0.6: Manuscript Evidence & Scene Writing | Session 06

A family barbecue, some awkward teasing, and a conversation Henry wasn’t expecting. In Session 06, I continue writing After the Choirs Fell Silent, my science fantasy story, in Scriptri 0.6. We finish the Celestial Guard’s Day scene, giving Henry time with Lauren’s father, bringing both families together for dinner, and leaving Henry with plenty to think about when Lauren invites him to lunch. Then we begin Lunch at 42nd Bistro, where he promptly overanalyzes everything. Along the way, I cover Scriptri 0.6, demonstrate the Tracked Passage / Manuscript Evidence workflow, create characters and locations, tag entities, update aliases, and fill in location history. I also discuss upcoming changes to Locations and Timeline. Audio note: This session uses voiceover recorded after the writing footage, rather than live commentary.
