These appear colour-coded on your page, but don't appear when you export as Word or PDF files. This allows you to write down your thoughts which you can then work off of right in front of you, while you're writing the intricate ... Read More:

Dramatica takes a dispassionate view of story, enabling the writer to create and build a firm structure onto which the flesh of storytelling can be added. Using the Story Guide facility, the writer is asked questions of their story which must be answered before progressing ... Read More:
