Resources for Artists and Writers - In the Binder, Shift-Click select the first Spread document and the last Untitled Document to display the Corkboard as as shown on the left. Picture Books have a generally acknowledged plot structure consisting of a beginning, middle and end, three problems to solve, etc., so I have used this structure to create plot prompts that are visible on the Spread index cards in the Corkboard view. You can then write synopses on the Untitled Document index cards and/or add images. I have more to add on using the Corkboard my video tutorial. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1618759307784-IMGTGO68H1IV5Y4L7VMU/ClaireOBrienScrivenerTemplate.jpg Claire O'Brien's Resources for Artists and Writers - Once you've downloaded the zip file, extract and move the .scriv file to your writing folder and when you open it up in Scrivener it should look like this: On the left, in the Binder window, we see a list of documents either entitled Spread … or Untitled Document. As most picture book writers know, picture books adhere to a very strict form due to the way they are physically constructed. The pages are printed, in multiples of eight, onto large sheets of paper, which are called a signatures. So most modern picture books are told across fourteen double page spreads (each single page is a spread) totalling thirty two pages and the story usually begins on page four or five. So in my template there are 14 Spread documents which serve, when writing your picture book, as headings to help you plan your page breaks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1618759260286-713OUGIH0SHCKXI54H31/ClaireOBrienScrivenerTemplate2.jpg Claire O'Brien's Resources for Artists and Writers If you wish to write without the Spread headings visible in the manuscript, select only, by Command-Clicking (or Control-Clicking on a PC), the Untitled Documents in the Binder window as shown here highlighted in blue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1618759288783-FTWSY03EJ3E4D21BYX56/image-asset.jpeg Claire O'Brien's Resources for Artists and Writers The Corkboard view in Scrivener is really useful for plotting your writing, it is switched on by pressing this icon: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1629020253983-YSGZYS6LMW6AU56SML3B/ClaireOBrienLogo.jpg Claire O'Brien's Resources for Artists and Writers http://www.claireobrien.com/artist daily 1.0 2021-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1628285767880-DJ6VVQ9RA4A6UXTAS84P/ClaireOBrienWhatIdRatherBeDoingWeb.jpg Claire O'Brien Art Portfolio - gouache paintings, ink drawings and original prints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1628285982243-2K2HOCVF48D68YLI7HJ6/claireobriensledgingatwormhillmedium.jpg Claire O'Brien Art Portfolio - gouache paintings, ink drawings and original prints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1628845853146-LARZENUQXGZ7J8K9O49T/NIght_Flight.jpg Claire O'Brien Art Portfolio - gouache paintings, ink drawings and original prints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1618759281297-ANUX9952M8A75ARPILO7/image-asset.jpeg Claire O'Brien Art Portfolio - gouache paintings, ink drawings and original prints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1628934206960-5YRTAQKO8LV9C6024WD8/BurningWheelbyClaireOBrien.jpg Claire O'Brien Art Portfolio - gouache paintings, ink drawings and original prints https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1629020253983-YSGZYS6LMW6AU56SML3B/ClaireOBrienLogo.jpg Claire O'Brien Art Portfolio - gouache paintings, ink drawings and original prints http://www.claireobrien.com/store daily 0.75 2018-08-19 http://www.claireobrien.com/store/night-flight monthly 0.5 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1628153707568-Z3HN1JQ2AFLSGW34EGCC/witchWebdropshadowthumbnail.jpg Store - Night Flight - Giclee Print by Claire O'Brien http://www.claireobrien.com/store/sledging-on-worm-hill monthly 0.5 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1628115160878-XKSFC7ZA5H0WUVA9VPSR/wormhillWebdropshadowthumbnail+copy.jpg Store - Sledging On Worm Hill - Giclee Print by Claire O'Brien - Gilcee print of people sledging on Worm Hill - an art print of a watercolour painting by Claire O'Brien http://www.claireobrien.com/store/32unqjxyar7ljd913xwl3prc903xx1 monthly 0.5 2021-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1626941098398-Y558LIGJJ5KACI0M1K9A/WhatIdRatherBeDoingWebdropshadowthumbnail.jpg Store - What I'd Rather Be Doing - Giclee Print by Claire O'Brien - Buy this Giclee Print Gouache Painting of a Witch by Claire O'Brien http://www.claireobrien.com/store/undericecomic monthly 0.5 2021-06-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1534696899036-MYGN1J5RAYKR24BNHZGP/UnderIceStoreImage.jpg Store - Under Ice Comic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1534710267141-VCL55IRFA4WTQ94M35FL/claire_obrien_underice_Page-11-Final.jpg Store - Under Ice Comic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1534710477541-XL5E5B92XATWRT5C5AKP/undericepage_cover+image.jpg Store - Under Ice Comic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1551537529322-U1V0B5665IJB9B8XQLQU/Cover.jpg Store - Under Ice Comic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1551537529588-O8FM1VAAN52E7QZN8XK7/KateSketch.jpg Store - Under Ice Comic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58baa068ebbd1ad2e8ceaae8/1551537542136-GT4ZK32R8EDQD6DKCI6E/GarySketch.jpg Store - Under Ice Comic
