They have an unlimited test trial, but it will not save.

I'm going to change the title of this thread by adding this piece of software to the mix.

Here's the link:

Let's discuss them all.

I might as well include Writer's Blocks, which is priced at $149

I haven't used either of these two programs, but they appear very interesting.

I do use SNP (Snowflake Pro). I find it extremely helpful in forcing me to really think about character development. When I do that, plot elements that I would have overlooked, or not even thought of, tend to fall into place. If you force yourself to step through it, it's surprising how much plot development you can find, without even "working" at it. Once you know your characters that well, writing them is easy. JMHO, and obviously, YMMV.

I looked at both of the programs you've mentioned, since you pointed me to them. Both look interesting. (I hope that one company's software is better than their damn website!!!).

I'll have to download both (Curse you, Dr. Drib!) and see if either will replace YWriter. I am hanging onto some of the things that I mentioned previously that are just GREAT, but I'm perfectly willing to try new things. I have some momentum on my current OIP (Outline in Progress), and I don't want to lose that, but I can continue outlining in Scivener while I test these. Anyone else here try any of these? And can speak to them? I don't mind the pricing. I'd certainly rather spend $149USD than waste an hour of my time trying to find that note I created about what's-er-name's husband, or try to remember whether that scene was supposed to go here or there. ;-)
