Scrivener (Writing)

I use a variation of this technique to organize my characters (my character page is a file rather than a folder). It is especially helpful when tracking large groups. For example, I was able to do a quick character count to make sure, when they split up into a group of three and a group of five with one remaining behind, that the total number of characters in the situation was indeed nine. This has helped me keep the relative characters straight between locations (London and the country estate for example) or between assignments (the various teams in Trainee for example).
