      A Workflow That Adapts to You

A flexible workflow for stories, worlds, and ideas

​

Stories rarely start in a straight line.

Sometimes it’s a single scene. Sometimes it’s a character. Sometimes it’s a half-written draft that doesn’t quite fit together yet.

Fetch & Flow is designed to support how ideas actually happen — whether you prefer to plan things out, work reactively, or jump back and forth as your world grows.
 

There’s no “correct” order. Below are a few common ways people use Fetch & Flow.

Workflow 1: Starting From an Idea

This is ideal if you like to map things out before writing.

​

  1. Start with an idea
    A character, a setting, a conflict, or a simple “what if?”

  2. Build your Lore Bible
    Capture the core facts of your world:

    • Characters

    • Locations

    • Factions

    • Magic systems, rules, history

    The Lore Bible becomes your source of truth.

  3. Create a Story Arc
    Outline major beats while referencing the established lore.

  4. Write scenes
    Draft scenes with your lore visible alongside your writing, so details stay consistent.

  5. Refine and export
    Continue editing, expanding, or exporting your work as it evolves.

​

Think of the Lore Bible as the foundation everything else stands on.

Workflow 2: Starting With Existing Writing

If you already have notes, chapters, or drafts — even if they live in a single Word document — Fetch & Flow works just as well after the fact.

​

  1. Paste your existing writing
    This might be a chapter, a collection of notes, or a long document you’ve been adding to over time. It can be messy, incomplete, or unstructured — that’s fine.

  2. Identify important details
    Pull out characters, places, rules, and events that matter to your world.

  3. Create Lore Bible entries
    Turn those details into clear, reusable lore you can reference later.

  4. Organise into a Story Arc
    See how your existing writing fits into a larger structure.

  5. Rewrite or expand with confidence
    You’re no longer guessing — the world has rules now.

​

You don’t have to rewrite everything. Fetch & Flow helps you organise what already exists.

Workflow 3: Non-Linear (The Most Common Way)

Most people don’t stick to one workflow — and Fetch & Flow doesn’t expect you to.

A typical session might look like:

  • Write a scene

  • Realise you need more lore

  • Add or adjust a lore entry

  • Update the story arc

  • Jump back to another scene

​

Fetch & Flow is built to support this back-and-forth flow, without forcing you into a rigid structure.

You move when the idea moves — the structure catches up later.

Founder’s Workflow

​

Fetch & Flow exists because my ideas have never arrived in order.

​

I’ve always been a daydreamer — jumping between scenes, characters, and half-formed worlds long before I knew how they fit together. I needed a place to capture those fragments without forcing them into structure too early.

So I built Fetch & Flow as a way to organise my own thinking.
A space where ideas could live, connect, and slowly solidify over time.

​

The workflow reflects how I actually think:

  • Capture ideas as they appear

  • Pull characters, places, and rules out of the chaos

  • Let structure emerge naturally

​

Fetch & Flow isn’t about writing in a straight line. It’s about giving unorganised ideas somewhere to land — until they’re ready to become a story.
