(Scrivener is also famous for that.) Below I list some ways I’ve been using Aeon Timeline 2.

This software is really, really useful if you are utilising a homodiegetic character as narrator.

Utilising Aeon’s ‘arc’ entity is helpful when creating a story with a plot full of time leaps and backtracking. The less chronological your plot, the more useful you’ll find Aeon Timeline 2. I’ll be talking about the Novel template, which I’ve modified as a template. Aeon Timeline works on both Mac and PC - I happen to be using a Mac. Do This Firstīefore you begin writing your story you probably already have an idea about the scale of the timeline. You’ll know whether it takes place over a day, a few months, or over several millennia.

Generally, shortcuts in Aeon Timeline will work how you expect them to based on your operating system (Command M to minimise on a Mac etc.) Control N Create new event Control R Add filter (when you’re looking for something) Alt + Drag Hold Alt while dragging events left or right to alter their end date instead of their start date. A pop up will tell you the length of time between the two events.Īlt+Shift + Drag While holding down these two keys, draw a line between two events.
