Once you have setup the initial sync, Aeon Timeline will detect changes made in either application, and prompt you to sync those changes across to the other application. Once I’m happy with the bones of my story, I will transition over to Scrivener and start writing the scenes, and getting the book ready for another pass from The Editor. Aeon Timeline allows you to sync your timeline data with your Scrivener or Ulysses writing project. I’m going to work almost exclusively in Timeline in order to get the structure set. Select Sync Folders The next screen allows you to select which folders within the project you wish to sync.

If you select Ulysses, you will be taken straight to the next screen. You dont have to use every feature, they are just. Select the Scrivener project file (MyProject.scriv on Mac, or MyProject.scrivx on Windows). But it’s important to get this all nailed down and codified. It looks a little complex on first glance, but I think its like the complexity in Scriveners compile. Development appears to have significantly slowed or halted: the last version for macOS (v.3.2.3) came out ten months ago with some bugfixes and UI tweaks but that’s about it. I have a lot of this up in my head, based on the Editor feedback, etc. Scrivener for macOS isn’t bad, but the iOS version is lacking and people have complained about the Windows version for years on the app’s subreddit. So what I’m doing with Timeline, is restructuring the content I already have, and inserting new scenes and chapters, in order to tell a better story. Part 2 was edited and I have copious notes from my awesome editor. Now that I’ve gotten these technical aspects put to bed, I can shift into a more creative mindset and hopefully carve out some time to throw on the headphones and make some magic! A Note on the Magic: I say all this to say that I don’t feel as if I was avoiding the creative process, but merely using the time I had to do what I was mentally capable of doing.

I have the luxury of having children, which affords me very little creative time, but quite a lot of time where they might be running around, watching TV and being distracting enough where I can setup these two apps without having to use a lot of creative brain-power. It’s important to spend as little time on this as possible, so that it doesn’t take away from your creative time. If you put in the work, you’ll get a lot out of it. I’ll probably post a more in-depth video on this at some point but there’s a great deal of customisation that can go into making your timelines specific to your story. After something of a learning curve when it comes to syncing data between the two programs, I think I’m at a point where I can actually start working with both programs creatively.

I’ve been using Aeon Timeline 3 in conjunction with Scrivener.
