I don't know if anyone has come across this before, it looks like it's been out a while but I've only just heard about it.

As usual, waaay behind the times.

Now, I'm one of those old fashioned people when I write. Index cards with scene names scattered all over the floor, notebooks full of...well, notes, snippets of dialogue, descriptions etc and I hand write everything before typing it up. A slow and painful process as your average turtle can type faster than I can. This seems like it's been designed to replicate that exact process, on the pc, potentially speeding things up quite a lot.

Anybody have any experience with the program? If so, I'd love to hear your thoughts before I splash out my money.

Must admit it looks rather cool. For me, I really do not "plan"- unless by planning one means that I kinda sorta have an idea where I want the story to go and then have to figure out how to get there.

I have gotten to the place where I can compose at the keyboard, but I still find myself going back to notebook and pen to work through blocks or important sections.

I do think the free trial would be worth checking, especially if it looks like the tools are a good fit for your existing process.
