Slightly off topic, but I found this a while back and it relates in
context

I think the power of TW is "currently" in organization more than
publishing. . . just my thoughts

Some great ideas here, found this

http://www.sfnovelists.com/2008/01/27/the-right-tool-for-writing/

Title screen says a lot, outline, edit, storyboard, write (export)

I am not suggesting 3rd party software - merely a reference of what
you might be looking for in a modified TW

Thoughts?
