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.

YWriter is free, BC. That's probably why he will never prettify it. I will admit, I find all the foofery to be an utter waste of time as well, so I completely understand why Simon won't invest his valuable time in making it foofy/pretty. It works, better than pretty much anything else, in ANY class, in terms of WHAT. IT. DOES. Honestly? Scrivener's capabilities simply don't hold a candle to it. I have yet to find a so-called "writing program" that does, TBH. Not even close.
It's a damned
shame that people can't see it for what it is, just because it's not foofy.
FYI: I'm not talking, and would
never write someone moving from room a to room b, unless there was a damned good reason for it. I meant what I think of as "the business," which is writing all the cruft
that fills in the plot enough so that you don't have some Perils of Pauline potboiler.
