Novel World-Building
Grow a novel from premise to series potential: world rules, character flaws, plot engines, theme threads.
What's on the map
The thinking behind every branch.
A story bible that thinks. Seed the premise, then branch: the world's non-negotiable rules, the protagonist's productive flaws, the engines that generate plot, and the theme threads that make it mean something. Expand any node with the Book Author context, and Converge two branches whenever the story feels thin — collision is where plot lives.
