(For those who are looking for computer assistance with a screenplay, Mariner Software has a similar product, Montage.) More on that, and solutions, later.įor starters, it's appropriate to provide an overview of the structure of StoryMill. It is a beautiful, concise, thorough User Guide that tells the reader what.

Storymill 3 mac os x#
While I will be discussing the mechanics of StoryMill, from a Mac OS X application viewpoint, such a review would be incomplete, in my opinion as a writer, without added perspective on how the tool might fit into a writer's psyche and personality.Īfter all, if one merely evaluates the tool as a Mac app, then the review doesn't serve the prospective writer well. Writing a review of a product that assists a writer with writing is an endeavor fraught with irony, opinion, perspective and experience.
Story Mill is a very technical tool that may not appeal to free spirited writers.
It exploits the strengths of a computer, especially in the context of Mac OS X and a Cocoa application, to assist the novelist with scenes, timelines, characters, locations and some tactical assistance such as cliché detection. StoryMill is a writer's tool that provides organization and composition support for writing a novel.
