Product Description
Storybase is powered by an engine of 2363 essential Conflict Situations covering virtually every dimension of the human condition. As you explore Storybase, you will project your own ideas onto the Situations -- you will gain access to a wider field of creativity! Storybase is the world's only dictionary of narrative situations, each indexed according to the character's Mindset and the Thrust, or action, of the story. The Situations do not contain culture-specific conventions or gender stereotypes -- they are archetypal elements of human actuality. The Situations do not write your story for you. They are suggestions that will help you discover your characters and your story.

Awesome tool for writers! March 14, 2007

First of all, everyone should know that this software will NOT write your story for you. Rather, it provides a vast library of different possibilities ("conflict situations") which can be personalized with your character names. This is a great tool for exploring new ideas - for an individual scene - and for an overall theme. It also helps in the discovery of character motivations and nuances. This program is fun to use and is a reliable cure for writer's block.

Storybase Saved My Story February 3, 2005

I was struggling with a transitional scene in my novel and getting frustrated by my inability to come up with something fresh...my brother had given me Storybase for Christmas, so I decided to give it a try... I entered my story and character info and Storybase spit out a bunch of really cool ideas...some I would have never thought of even with a hundred hours of thinking...I found one that was just right for this moment in my story and was able to finally finish the chapter and in doing so gave me a terrific way to start the next scene...I'm now a big fan of Storybase and recommend it to all my writer friends.
