When you run StoryLines for the first time, you are presented with a Welcome screen with a small selection of options. Click on Create new project.
You will be presented with the New Project Wizard. Type the name of your project, and then click on Next.
Now add one or more storyline names. Each storyline represents a subplot or perhaps relationship, with which you associate cards (pieces of the story). You can add further storylines or remove storylines whenever you like by using the Project Information Dialog, later.
Click on Next and then on Finish, to create the new project.
Go to Step 2 to learn how to add and edit cards.
