It’s all a huge process, but it now feels like building something sharp, tight and tangible, instead of looking at it through cloudy glasses. 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. I’m going to work almost exclusively in Timeline in order to get the structure set. ![]() But it’s important to get this all nailed down and codified. Aeon Timeline for Windows will soon include a Scrivener Synchronization. I have a lot of this up in my head, based on the Editor feedback, etc. Aid Creativity and Works-in-Progress: It should be easy to create and modify. 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. To protect against data loss, the upgraded file will not save directly on top of your existing version 2 file. 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. ![]() But it isn’t a text drafting or editing program.

Scrivener files can sync with Aeon Timeline. 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. It’s important to spend as little time on this as possible, so that it doesn’t take away from your creative time. Aeon Timeline allows you to sync your timeline data with your Scrivener or Ulysses writing project. 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. Synchronise your timeline with your Scrivener project FOR PROJECT MANAGERS: A little like a Gantt chart but a lot more flexible, Aeon version 2 allows you to.
