Product Information
Story writing is rules based
– which means it can be broken down into
bite sized chunks. Not only is this perfect for
computers – but it is also ideal for young
minds with limited attention spans!
Every story has to convey a clear
point. Think about the message of Romeo and Juliet
(or Shrek!) - that of 'the power of love'.
Every story also has to have
a clear structure - from the simple "beginning,
middle and end" to a complex Trilogy like
Lord of the Rings.
Story Wizard provides a wide
selection of Story Types that lay down basic templates
that guide the writer through each of the steps.
The writer can even decide how simple or complex
they want their story to be - and they then receive
a different template.
From the very start, the young
writer is asked questions to coax the story out
of them. They make selections that set the stage
for their own story, and we then give them a whole
box of techno tools to help them produce fantastic
stories.
Story Wizard embraces the approach
that JK Rowling uses to build a library of characters
before the story even begins. The same process
is used to invent magical places for the characters
to use as their stage, and there is even a tool
to help them produce objects (wands, cars, ships,
daleks) that give depth to every tale.
Why is this important? Think
about the Lord of the Rings without a Ring! Harry
Potter without Hagrid and Hermione.
Writing stories is like great
cooking. You need fresh ingredients, a clear recipe,
and the freedom to innovate. Story Wizard makes
it fun and easy. You can start one book or a
dozen. Create 5 characters or five thousand –
the only limit is your imagination. 5 minutes
developing a new character or 5 hours adding to
a masterpiece – every moment is creative,
and everything is brought together by the software
to deliver a wonderfully cohesive story. |
