Summarise A Sprawling First Draft Chapter By Chapter

Your first draft has grown past the point where you can hold the whole thing in your head, and you keep half-remembering what happened in chapter six. This produces a clean chapter-by-chapter summary and flags any continuity problems that surface once it is all laid out. For anyone facing a structural edit on a long, sprawling draft.

You have a sprawling first draft, {DRAFT_LENGTH} long, and have lost track of what actually happens where. Paste the draft or a chapter list, and get back a chapter-by-chapter summary: one or two sentences per chapter stating what happens and whose point of view it is told from. End with a short list of any continuity issues that show up across the summary, such as a character's whereabouts contradicting an earlier chapter.
