Would love better features for non-linear writers (pantsers)
Sudowrite is a really great product for those who work well with a more linear method—the way the Story Bible connects to the Synopsis, to the outline, then to chapters, etc. is really cool. But I just don’t work this way. I don’t write books in sequence, by outlines. Rather, I have general ideas, then I often write fragments of scenes, usually the first and last chapters, key emotional beats, bits of chapters out of sequence, etc. Sudowrite would be useful to me if it could work backwards. If, for example, I could put in a new scene and it could automatically update the story bible, synopsis, and outline, for example. And, if reading a few fragmentary chapters, it could suggest possible ways to bridge and integrate those chapters. Until it can do this, it is just not a tool that I can use well.
