Description
Welcome to Dramatica, your creative
writing partner.
Dramatica is a complete step-by-step fiction
writing system that has something to teach both the aspiring writer and the
established professional. Dramatica's StoryGuide will handhold you from initial
idea all the way through to completed narrative treatment, inspiring you and
supporting you along the way. It's like having a successful author as your
writing partner, sitting by your side and mentoring you! Unlike lesser writing
programs, you actually create your story in the software.
You'll cast
and build your characters, plot out your story, layer in themes with universal
meaning, and put it all together into scenes to form a solid step outline. And
as your mentor, Dramatica will do something no other writing program can do --
it predicts parts of your story based on creative decisions you make! You'll be
delighted to see how many of your creative choices Dramatica agrees with -- and
amazed when it presents ideas you haven't thought of yet. You'll be inspired to
incorporate those ideas into your developing story and make it even tighter --
with no plot holes or character inconsistencies!
Here's how:
1. Structure Your Plot
Answer Dramatica's thought
provoking questions about your characters and plot. This narrows down the
possible ways of telling your story to the one that best expresses your
personal vision-and prompts Dramatica to supply some answers of its own.
Amazingly, it can show you which parts of your story are strong, and which need
punching up!
2. Illustrate Your Story
Write specific examples of how each of your story decisions about character
arc, theme, conflict, tension, story goal, plot points, etc. will play out in
your story's scenes. At the click of a button, see how the great writers
illustrated the same story points in their classic stories. In-depth breakdowns
of over 60 films, novels, plays, and short stories are always available.
3. Create Scenes
Now you weave together
all the parts of the story you've developed so far. Determine how elements of
character, plot, and theme will be revealed to your audience over time, and
place your written examples directly into specific Acts, Scenes, or Chapters.
Your step outline or plot synopsis is complete, ready to be honed into a killer
first draft!
DramaticaPro v4.1 is the result of over 15 years
of research and development, the Dramatica model of story has been embraced by
writers, reviewers, and over 700 colleges and universities. After years of
success, Dramatica just keeps on getting better -- and when you use it, so will
your writing!
