Mariner Software StoryMill for Mac - Manual (Page 7)

In addition to the narrative flow of scenes-within-chapters-within-
novel, StoryMill allows you to examine the chronological flow of
your project using timelines. Because you can view scenes both
in the order they fall in the narrative as well as the order they fall
in time, scenes are a powerful way to organize your project.
For some people or writing projects, the concept of scenes as
building blocks for chapters may not make much sense.
Fortunately, you can use the novel or chapters views as generic
text containers (and disregard scenes entirely) while still making
use of StoryMillʼs annotations and other powerful writing and
organizational aids. For example, each “chapter” could instead
be a section of your research paper or novella.
Aside from the information that is directly influencing your story,
StoryMill can also track research and submissions to editors and
agents, allowing you to take your project all the way from
inception to publication in one program.
