Getting started
From a blank world to a living draft.
Mythic Studio keeps worldbuilding, scene exploration, and manuscript writing connected. Here is the shortest route through it—and what each part is for.
The writing loop
- 01
Start with a world and a work
A World is the container for a setting. It holds shared cast and lore. A Work is the particular book or story you are writing inside it. One world can hold more than one work.
- 02
Give the model useful context
Add only the cast and lore that matter to the story. Character voice, motives, knowledge, aliases, and lore tags help Scene Lab recognise what should shape a response.
- 03
Set up a scene
Create a scene inside a work, describe where it begins, add the characters present, and write a few concrete goals. Pin essential lore when it must be considered in every beat.
- 04
Choose how you want to participate
Use Director to steer events, Ask Scene to inspect the situation, Narrator to add prose, or choose a cast member and write that character yourself. You can switch roles whenever the scene needs it.
- 05
Explore without breaking anything
A Scene Lab run is a possibility, not canon. If an earlier line sends the scene in the wrong direction, edit it to create a revised run while keeping the original intact.
- 06
Carry the good parts forward
Move selected scene prose into the manuscript when it earns its place. Keep drafting and editing there, then use Review when you want structured feedback from someone else.
The Scene Lab roles
Director
Give stage direction, introduce pressure, move time forward, or tell the scene what must happen next.
Ask Scene
Ask about tensions, likely reactions, missing context, or what a character might notice without adding a story beat.
Narrator
Write description and action directly into the exploration in a narrative voice.
A character
Speak or act as anyone present. Mythic yields that character to you instead of deciding their words, thoughts, or actions.
Pinned lore and automatic lore
Pin an entry when the scene must always remember it. Mythic also notices lore names, aliases, and tags in scene text and surfaces matching entries as context. Automatic matches are a convenience, so use pins for facts the scene cannot afford to miss.
Exploration, manuscript, and canon
Scene Lab is where you test possibilities. The manuscript is the draft you are deliberately writing. Lore is the world knowledge you want to keep. Mythic does not silently turn an improvised scene into established story truth; you decide what moves between those spaces.
