Dramatica Writers' Dreamkit
Dramatica Writers' Dreamkit is the baby brother of Dramatica Pro. Writers' Dreamkit is aimed at providing the perfect story structure tool for beginning writers or those new to Dramatica. The Dramatica Writers' DreamKit is powered by the same patented Story Engine as Dramatica Pro, which keeps track of the relationships among your characters, plot, and theme to ensure perfect story structure. Having said that, all feedback is that there is still a hefty learning curve on this too, and there is the same new jargon/terminology that is needed for learning Dramatica Pro. Owners of the Dramatica Writers' DreamKit can later upgrade to Dramatica Pro at a reduced rate. The Dramatica Writers' DreamKit takes an author through a step by step path to creating a story concept and developing it into a detailed sequential treatment. The treatment forms a complete blueprint for character growth, plot progression, and the exploration of thematic issues. By answering multiple choice questions and filling in specifics, Dramatica's Story Engine is actually able to predict the perfect dramatic structure for your story based on your dramatic choices. But the help doesn't end with a perfect structure. Using Dramatica Writers' DreamKit, you'll be guided step-by-step through the process of turning your sound structure into a complete sequential outline of your scenes or chapters, as you develop your story in your own words.

Dramatica Pro also includes its own beginner's path that is more detailed than DreamKit's because it introduces the user to the advanced features as well. In short, Writers' DreamKit is designed specifically with the novice writer in mind. It is the perfect introduction to writing, and the perfect place to begin exploring Dramatica's approach to story. DreamKit can carry you through a complete novel, television episode, or screenplay. It has all the essential features of Dramatica Pro, but costs far less because it doesn't include the additional advanced features. Now, having said all this, Dramatica Writers' Dreamkit got very mixed reviews on Amazon. People either loved it or hated it - giving it either 1 star or 4-or-5 stars, leading to an average of 3 stars. Many people said that it wasn't as good as Dramatica Pro - not just not as richly featured, which we knew, as it was a stripped-down version, but not as good. They thought that the missing elements were the very elements which were needed. Those who liked it all agreed that (like all the Dramatica products I'm finding) it's very demanding of the writer - it forces us to really think about our stories and develop them fully. Which is a) difficult and b) leads to a much better story. There is neither a demo nor money-back guarantee for this product. | ||
