Write it the way it arrives.
Story is a calm page for prose: treatments, scenes, fragments, notes to yourself. Write without formatting, and Scriptr quietly notices who and where as you go.
Names become people.
Write Marcus once and Scriptr knows who he is. Characters and places are underlined as you write and open their profile, so the prose and the world never disagree.
