Storyist 1.2

Type: Comments

Date: 8 Jun 2007 18:29

First let me say that I'm in the Storyist Beta Users group and have been using the product for several months now. That said, I have to point out that it simply isn't a general purpose word processor. It isn't ment to be. It does, however, seamlessly merge word processing and database management features in an effort to solve a problem most WPs don't address: minimizing distractions from the creative process. What Storyist does is make it simple to create, maintain and refer back to all story elements and notes without breaking your train of thought. MS Word attempts to do this (halfheartedly) with NoteBook View. Dramatica tries to do this in a rigid and overly complicated process (IMHO). Storyist handles the data and keeps out of the writer's way. It's not perfect but it does what it claims to do better than any other WP I've seen.
