PROS: Can add content to the scenes.
Word count.
Goal/Conflict/Outcome for each scene.
Export of chapters to a word document.
Drag and Drop characters/locations/etc
to scenes.
Each scene can be set the the
"viewpoint" of which ever character.
Main "dashboard" has a
chapters column on the left. then the scenes in the chapter in the
center. And each scene it shows the characters, locations, words, etc
in a spreadsheet like thing.
Daily word count target. I think you
can set it up for the whole project. And a daily log sheet.
Storyboard view which shows all the
unused scenes. And a time line for each main character. You can then
drag and drop and rearrange the scenes. From unused to a character or
from character to character or with in a characters time line.
Word usage. Shows how often you use
certain words.
CONS:
(apparently I couldn't think of any cons)
Storybook:
PROS: Character section is in depth.
Location section is separated into
country, then city, then specific location.
Has an "Ideas" tool where
you can brainstorm. Its pretty simple. Title and description. Then
you can set it to Not Started. Started. Completed. and Abandoned.
Has "Chronological view" -
which is where your plot strands are and you can edit and add scenes.
"Manage chapters and scenes"
- which you can drag and drop scenes to chapters.
"Book view" - which shows
you what it looks like in order that you have placed the scenes.
CONS: Has a "summary" section
in the scenes but not really a content section.
All the other tools and charts require
paying for the Professional version.
