Timeline book for writers?

[gategrrl]

Just thought I'd mention this product. It's aimed at homeschooling families, but it just occurred to me that it might benefit writers with complicated timelines, too.  http://www.addacentury.com/ ; and http://www.addacentury.com/product-faqs.html ; There are stickers for different categories, too (war, art, science & tech, etc) that can be applied.

It's a time line book (looks like a scrapbook adapt) where you can make as detailed notes as you'd like. It doesn't have to be earth-based, either, and I think the dates could easily be fudged or something for a completely imaginary world. Excellent product for writers with very complicated worlds, or who are writing a series and need to see connections between different aspects of their society, and what's important to that society.

Hmm, anything that helps manage anything is of value to me, so I think I'll check this out.

Now that I have one manuscript under my belt, I want to try and do it better this time (organization wise). I always get lost in my timelines, particularly when I am mapping backstory.

I think this would be helpful to you, then. It's pretty neat.
