Hey, Hitch:

I agree with everything you said in the above post.

I think I, too may be a bit OCD. I spend a lot time trying out new programs (when there's a demo) to see if I like it.

Are you familiar with the old Dramatica Pro? Well, the software publisher released (2012) a new version, but only for the Mac. It's called this:

Dramatica Story Expert 5

It's a very involved program and requires a LOT of time to manage and master, which I may decide is something I can't afford to indulge in. The interface (the 'prettification') between the PC and Mac version is dramatic. (No pun intended.)

On the other, being a collector of software (!!), I may buy it and play with it at my leisure. It's priced between $120 - $180, depending on how closely you look for the best price.

Another software product - one that has been abandoned and is only available on the PC - is

Power Structure [version 1.9.1]

I really like this program. I only have a demo of it, a demo that runs forever but will only allow 20 plot points. Since I have an area of my Mac set aside as a virtual PC, this is no problem. This program is about $100.

Check that one out, if you have the time, and tell me what you think.

Cheers.
