Dramatica Pro 4.0

This whole Story Mind thing bothered me but I couldn't figure out why. Then one day I had my 'aha!' moment when it occurred to me that this would be a perfect tool for corporate businesses. How?

Say you wanted to teach employees or associates from your company a creative way to explain the company principles and/ or policies. You decide to have a little fun and use drama as the method to carry your message. By using dramatica, you can create and settle an argument that has been looked at from every possible angle so that the conclusion cannot be disputed.

Plus, you've entertained the associates.

Using drama in that way, in which the theory of story is presented as a problem that needs a solution, (the story mind), dramatica would be perfect. But the whole idea of viewing story as a dramatic problem that takes us on a journey that leads to a solution is just too limiting a perspective- for me. But perfect for a corporate type mentality that wants to use drama as a creative tool for problem solving!

With a 90's retro interface, this program neither has the look nor drive of the future creative catalyst. If you can pick this up at a garage-sell for a cool $20.00 U.S., by all means do so - you won't be disappointed, and it will have been money very well spent. Just think of how quickly it would pay for itself with all of the money you'll save from never having to purchase another bulk-pack of index cards again! However, providing little more than what other formating software packages already include as an ancillary feature, $269.00 U.S. is a bit steep for what amounts to a fancy set of index cards. Bottom line, drop the price tag by about $250.00 U.S., and you'll be on your way to a cool ten star rating. Until then, I say GOOD DAY sir!
