RFE: a Themes field

Open taw00 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

I know the general structure of Manuskript is Snowflake-ish, but I was wondering if maybe a Theme(s) field should exist somewhere? Maybe in the General section? Or the Summary? The "One sentence" field is essentially for the Premise. And maybe "Situation" is ... well, no, that doesn't seem right. Hmm... Right now, I have my theme leading the "One sentence" field followed by the premise, but I thought maybe since every storyline has a Theme (or Themes) maybe it would make sense to add that formally somewhere?

Does that make sense?

Maybe that's something you could add in your WORLD section? For example, add a theme like "Reconnecting with estranged sister" as a world item, then add that as a reference item in the chapters that relate to that theme. That might be even better than a regular field in SUMMARY or GENERAL because when you look up that theme (world item) in the Cheat Sheet, you will see every scene that the theme is referenced in.
