I've just been playing with the Storymatic I mentioned in post #3 and feel like my brain has had a creative workout! It's also given me the beginning of a thriller plot (which I've quickly sketched out in Scapple). I could have gone on and had a complete plot, but was mentally exhausted! My brain feels like it's done an hour of aerobics.
I very much recommend this product, though it isn't cheap. I bought the Classic. I have no affiliation.
Hitch: The Novel Factory is what you need. I hope you like it as much as I do. As for getting from A to B, don't bother with the moving between rooms and boring stuff, no one wants to read it, just go from exciting scene to exciting scene with an occasional restful one.
I know you're aware of the scene-sequel structure. TNF also includes Incident scenes which are neither one nor the other, but they recommend few of these.
Yep, YWriter needs to be prettier. With a decent trial period Simon could perhaps charge for a new, attractive version.
