Admit it, Mr. Crichton...
by Armando Saldaña Mora
Hi. I'll give myself a short introduction and then I'd like to discuss a
question that surely troubles all Dramatica users:
I'm Armando Saldaña. I live in Mexico city and -as supposed- Spanish is my
first language, so forgive my horrifying use of English. I've been writing
constantly for about 12 years, I've been selling fiction for the last five
years, and I've been working on the Mexican television for the last year (yes,
even script editor for the program of the guy on the cockroach suit). I've met
Dramatica six months ago and became an instant addict, I even argue with my wife
in terms of "You're not reducing my morality focus on your universe domain,
you... Contagonist!"
Now for the question: I'm sure that the first question you had about
Dramatica (specially after finding out the price) was "Does this stuff
really works?" So you try to find out of a well known writer or story that
was made using Dramatica and, guess what? you won't find none! And mostly
because no one wants to tell. That's right. In the business you're as valuable
as your "talent" (meant: your capacity to produce magic stories that
everyone loves out of nowhere), and if a producer finds out you're using a
creative software, he'll think "Well, the software wrote it, not that
megalomaniac screenwriting bum! Cancel his check!" So you make a leap of
fate and buy the program, you study it hard, struggles through it and write a
complete story... Now here's the catch! I bet that most of you thought when the
story was finished "Is this it? Gee, I could have written this myself in
half the time with a hand tied up my back!" I made and experiment and went
through my past teleplays. Through my new Dramatica look they seemed horrible to
me! They were no structure, nothing happened, no one changed or had any
challenge, every event seemed tacked on... So the next question arose: have the
theory changed me or is it the software apreciations showing it's magic in my
present work? let me rephrase: Can I now write Dramatica stories without using
the software?
Have any of this happened to you?
What can you say about the "Does this stuff really works"
predicament?

About Dramatica and
StoryWeaver
What They Do
Dramatica is a tool to help you
build a perfect story structure. StoryWeaver is a tool to help you build
your story's world.
Dramatica focuses on the underlying logic of your
story, making sure there are no holes or inconsistencies.
StoryWeaver
focuses on the creative process, boosting your inspiration and guiding it to add
depth, detail and passion to your story.
How They Do It
Dramatica has the world's only
patented interactive Story Engine™ which cross-references your answers to
questions about your dramatic intent, then finds any weaknesses in your
structure and even suggests the best ways to strengthen them.
StoryWeaver uses a revolutionary new
creative format as you follow more than 200 Story Cards™ step by step through
the story development process. You'll design the people who'll inhabit
your story's world, what happens to them, and what it all means.
How They Work Alone
By itself Dramatica appeals to
structural writers who like to work out all the details of their stories
logically before they write a word.
By itself, StoryWeaver appeals to
intuitive writers who like to follow their Muse and develop their stories as
they go.
How They Work
Together
But, the finished work of a
structural writer can often lack passion, which is where StoryWeaver can help.
And the finished work of an intuitive writer can often lack direction, which is
where Dramatica can help.
So, while each kind of writer will
find one program or the other the most initially appealing, both kinds of
writers can benefit from both programs.
Try Either Program
Risk Free!
We have a 90
Day Return Policy here at Storymind. Try either or both of these
products and if you aren't completely satisfied we'll cheerfully refund your
purchase price.
