When creating stories, use the Comments feature as a place to
note general ideas, indicate the work’s state of progress, intended

When analyzing stories, use the Comments feature to remark on
the story’s strengths and weaknesses, as well as the strengths and
weaknesses of the analysis itself. In short, the Comments feature is a

Reports…
The Reports… command lets you output all the story work you’ve
done in storyforming and illustrating.

perspectives, including your Overall and Main vs. Impact throughlines,
your Main and Impact Characters, and your story as an entire work.
Dramatica’s Reports help you take a broad overview of your story’s

The reports can also be exported to your word processor as text
