Power Structure is the first story development environment designed for writers who aren't in search of an electronic muse, but who have a story that they want to tell, nd who simply want a better "place" to do it.

With Power Structure there are no complicated forms to fill out, no new theories of story or arcane terminology to learn. Instead, it conforms to you, its nine unique story views giving you a "Playground of the Mind" where you can explore, develop and yes, even structure, the best writing of your career.

Instantly jump from looking at the smallest detail of your story to the big picture with the click of a mouse. Graphically track conflicts, subplots, characters and themes so you never lose track of what you set out to do and what you've accomplished.

Complete integration with ScriptThing & Movie Magic Screenwriter allows you to take a script that you want to rewrite, and simply open it in Power Structure and have all your entire script in the program ready for analysis and rewriting. When you're done with the restructuring / rewriting, simply click a button and it exports it back to a ScriptThing/Screenwriter Script with all your dialogue, character names and so forth still all formatted correctly for you!

Virtually ANY creative writer will benefit from using Power Structure, including novelists, short story writers, editors, screenwriters, playwrights, TV writers... even people who work with creative writers.

Power Structure is designed to help you use you existing skills as a writer to tell these stories better, and to give you tools to help you discover you own weaknesses as a writer and overcome them yourself.

WHAT IT WON'T DO...

Tell you "insert more action here," or "make your protagonist compulsively neat because your obstacle character is a slob."

If you want that kind of computerized paint-by-the-numbers help, you'll need to purchase some other program. However, if you're a writer who wants to write, then Power Structure is for you.

WHAT IT WILL DO...

Inspire you to think about story elements and character development in ways that you might not have thought about before.

It will give you a "Playground of the Mind": innovative, graphic methods of looking at your story, its conflicts, character development and more so that you can easily spot weak areas and strengthen them. It will let you write in a manner that is most comfortable to you, letting you jot down ideas and write scenes in any order you want.

And most of all, it will simply give you a better place to write.

Take the Power Structure Tour

"Despite initial misgivings about being "guided" in story development, I found myself entering information almost instantly. After half an hour, I was surprising myself at some of the story points I was developing, and began to realize that Power Structure was essentially helping me do what I normally do before starting a screenplay but [...] Power Structure allowed me to do it once, and change it around anyway I wanted with incredible flexibility.

I'm converted, because it doesn't ask me to learn a whole new way of developing stories, but rather simply organizes my screenplay the way I've done for 20 years, but in a way that inspires me even more."
