Hey Pillar, I’ve been thinking about how we could design a workflow that keeps a manuscript both elegant and efficient—like a system that respects the structure of a classic while staying on schedule. What do you think?

Absolutely, let’s break it down into clear, actionable steps. First, map the manuscript outline onto a Gantt chart—each chapter gets a start and finish date, plus buffer time for revisions. Second, create a standardized template for each section: headings, subheadings, and the key take‑aways that a classic structure demands. Third, set a weekly review sprint: you submit a draft chunk, I check for adherence to the template and timeline, then we tweak. Fourth, use a version‑control system—Git or a simple cloud folder with dated copies—to track changes. Finally, schedule a monthly milestone check with a short demo of the draft to the team to keep everyone accountable. That way we keep the elegance of the classic format while hitting every deadline on time.
