I’ve used Dramatica Pro to outline a couple of stories. IMHO, it’s the procrastinator’s dream! It goes into such detail and produces such a large number of pages and pages of reports, it’s easy to get bogged down in all the theory it applies to your story. As a left-brained writer, I found it wonderful at first. Then two weeks later, still sifting over all the data, I realized I needed to put all that aside and just write the story. My advice: use with caution!

Have you tried Dramatica Pro? Incredibly involved and hard to fathom at first but it really gets to the ‘flesh and blood and bones’ of a story. I’d love your feedback if you’ve tried it.
