Welcome!

Hi, I'm Melanie Anne Phillips, co-creator of the Dramatica theory or story and the Dramatica software. and I'd like to welcome you to a blog about all things Dramatica!

For more than a decade I've kept a web site on Dramatica at Storymind.com/dramatica but web sites are geared more to large articles and organized explanations., making it rather stodgy and overbearing.

In contrast, my personal style has always been more fluid and toward serendipity - following the Muse when an idea pops up as long as interest holds, be it a short trip or a long one. A blog suits itself well to this kind of approach.

So, while longer and more detailed articles may appear here (especially at first, as I import materials from the Dramatica web site) the purpose at hand is to create an open, expanding, free-wheeling exploration of the story theory and how to use the software tool designed to wield it.

For me, a theorist by trade, this is quite liberating. I hope you find it a good source of information and inspiration, and I look forward to your comments and participation.
