More About StoryWeaver...

Writer's Block?  Not with StoryWeaver!  You'll learn tricks and techniques to side-step writer's block and get the creative ideas flowing again!

Rather than dealing with structure directly, in Story Weaver, the structure is hidden in the background, behind questions that speak more to the muse than the mind.

As you answer each question, you build upon the work you have already done, adding layers, nuance, and richness to your ideas.

And all the way, Story Weaver is supplying the structure you need without ever forcing you to step out of your creative frame of mind to address it directly.

By the time you have completed the entire step-by-step path, you will have journeyed from initial inspiration to completed, sequential treatment, ready to write as a novel, screenplay, or stage play.

Although StoryWeaver is a completely unique approach to story development, its results are compatible and complementary to all our other story development tools, including Power Structure, Writer's Software Companion, and Truby's Blockbuster.

So don't spend hours staring at blank page or computer screen.  Don't waste time trying to grasp obscure theory concepts when you'd rather be writing.  Let StoryWeaver inspire and guide you every step of the way to a complete, passionate, and well-told story!
