About Dramatica and
StoryWeaver
Hi, I'm Melanie Anne Phillips,
creator of StoryWeaver,
co-creator of Dramatica and owner
of Storymind.com. If you have a moment, I'd like to tell you
about these two story development tools - what each is designed to
do, how each works alone on a different part of story development and how
they can be used together to cover the entire process from concept to
completion of your novel or screenplay.
What They Do
Dramatica is a tool to help you
build a perfect story structure. StoryWeaver is a tool to help you
build your story's world.
Dramatica focuses on the underlying
logic of your story, making sure there are no holes or
inconsistencies.
StoryWeaver focuses on the creative
process, boosting your inspiration and guiding it to add depth, detail and
passion to your story.
How They Do It
Dramatica has the world's only
patented interactive Story Engine™ which cross-references your answers to
questions about your dramatic intent, then finds any weaknesses in your
structure and even suggests the best ways to strengthen them.
StoryWeaver uses a revolutionary new
creative format as you follow more than 200 Story Cards™ step by step
through the story development process. You'll design the people
who'll inhabit your story's world, what happens to them, and what it all
means.
How They Work
Alone
By itself Dramatic appeals to
structural writers who like to work out all the details of their stories
logically before they write a word.
By itself, StoryWeaver appeals to
intuitive writers who like to follow their Muse and develop their stories
as they go.
How They Work
Together
But, the finished work of a
structural writer can often lack passion, which is where StoryWeaver can
help. And the finished work of an intuitive writer can often lack
direction, which is where Dramatica can help.
So, while each kind of writer will
find one program or the other the most initially appealing, both kinds of
writers can benefit from both programs.
