I want to add one more tool: **Archivos**. (No personal link, I just saw a demo from them and plan to check them out when I start writing more.)

> First, ARCHIVOS helps Storytellers document the characters, places, and events of their stories, detailing the basic framework for the tale.
> 
> Then, Storytellers connect those story elements by defining the relationships between them that articulate not just the existence of the connection but also its nature (professional, personal, political, geographical, etc.).
> 
> The relationships in ARCHIVOS also support a hierarchy, like that of a parent to a child, or a manager to an employee. This framework will help identify and organize the structures within the story world.
> 
> As those structures become clear, Storytellers become true story architects, able to refine the and enhance the impact of their stories
