In NovelBase you write short pieces, which are called scenes. These scenes form the basis of your book. They are arranged in the Compose screen, which allows you to select the correct order of your chosen scenes. An individal scene can also have multiple revisions. Each revision can be completely different, or a variation on a theme, or even just a different edited and proof-read revision.
When the scene have been written they can then be assembled in the Composition area. This allows selection of the scenes, which optionally reside inside Plot folders, to create the NovelBase composition.
This allows writers to begin at the end of their timeline, or rearrange their scenes how they see fit, to create the most interesting storyline. Selecting each scene, it can be simply be added to the linear composition area. A preview of how the entire book is composed is available for the author to see. Composition can be re-arranged until the writer is satisfied with the outcome. Scene can be edited to provide a better fit, and the changes are reflected in the composition.
