This is useful for top-level plotting and does this very quickly.
However, I came across something called Idea Spinner:

There's no trial version of Idea Spinner, though it's only $19.99 (about £15).
BUT
Do I really need it?
Could I do the same things in Scapple?
(BTW I'm muskndusk on youtube and make some disparaging comments beneath the Idea Spinner vid  )
I'm a bit of a writing-software-aholic 
And I'm procrastinating when I should be nano planning!
What do you think? |
Well...if you're like me, you have them all (although, I haven't yet acquired Dramatica.
ETA: Interestingly, I've never seen anyone on MR--or anyplace--say that they used it, either.) But honestly, Scapple looks like mind-mapping software to me, and given that most of the best of mm software is free, well....
I don't know what IdeaSpinner does, other than force you to think about the usual questions,to round out your story. I think you said that you have Snowflake Pro, so you might find some of this redundant.
OTOH, if you are not using something like Storyblocks or one of the big outlining/plotting tools (I don't consider Scrivener to be this), then this may well be a great addition. Moreover, they seem to have a no-questions-asked money-back guarantee, so...why not?
