I bought Story Weaver from the Dramatica crew many years ago. It's on my old lappy so isn't used. I found the whole story mind philosophy a little odd and unhelpful when it came to actually writing.
There are some writers who find the story mind theory useful, it just didn't help me very much.
I've downloaded WriteWay and am finding it hugely confusing. I'll have to spend some time reading through the pdf manual. The aspect which is most mind boggling is the split screen and why it will sometimes unsplit horizontally, leaving me with either the white draft screen or the grey notes screen. The double bar on the right hand side of the screen is confusing, I'm not quite sure what it's for, except that it seems to move the position of the horizontal split.
Although not perfect, Scrivener might be winning. I'm just not sure that it offers what I'm really looking for.
WriteItNow 4 looks interesting, although a little gimmicky. It offers something which my current ways of working don't: lots of prompts and aids not usually found in writing software. I don't think it would become my mainstream writing program, just a useful gadget.
I just downloaded some freeware I discovered via a youtube vid: Story Lite. It looks simple and useful and FREE!
