Rating : - Challenging to use
This software does provide a framework to organize and expand your story ideas but the framework feels a little too rigid as it forces stories down a canned path after a few preliminary questions.

The guided mode took me through the increasingly complex process. At first it was great, helping me flesh out my characters and challenging me with questions about their motivation. Once I got to the part were you outline scenes to mesh your idea with the prefabricated story arc it started to irritate rather than help me.

All the character and story information you enter is stored in several disjoint views making it hard to print out a report that showed the flow of what you had input. I like using a word processor for writing my stories and typing my work into text boxes without so much as a spell checker bothered me as well.

Finally it saves everything you enter in a proprietary binary file format which makes it difficult to pick up the outline and start working with it in a standard word processor.
