"What I came to discover that night is that Writer's DreamKit did not write the story for me, what it did do was make me work at telling a story I had no idea how to tell. When I arrived at the "Congratulations! You've answered enough questions to get down to one storyform!" I was elated. I had finally arrived at a story close to what I wanted to tell and with some more refinement I would have a script. In one night I had the story I spent months avoiding telling and it had more depth and organization than I usually end up with on a 'words on paper' outline."
