Fiction Workshop

Editorial workflow for collaborative fiction writing in three stages: Story Bible Building, Chapter Development, and Reader Testing.

Session Continuity

Novel projects span weeks or months. Claude has no memory between sessions, so the Story Bible is your persistent state.

At session start: Read story-bible.md (or whatever the project calls it) before doing any other work. Skim recent files in sessions/ for unresolved threads.
At session end: Write a brief note at sessions/YYYY-MM-DD_topic-slug.md summarizing what was done, decisions made, and the stopping point. Two to five sentences is enough.
When foundations shift: Update the Story Bible immediately when premise, character bios, world rules, or major plot turns change. The Story Bible is the source of truth, not a one-time template.
Surface unresolved questions: At the start of new work, list questions left open from prior sessions and ask the user which to address before continuing.
