But I really feel like I learned so much more from this book than others. Maybe it's because of the first two layers. The third is the actual instruction - and let me say, this instruction was so much clearer than what was on the website. You might even realize this is the real example Randy was trying to give, not the WWII romance. You realize through the story (for me it was about halfway through) that you are actually seeing a plot line unfold that has nothing to do with the World War II story Goldilocks is writing. The second layer is seeing the application of the lessons. The examples she reviews with Baby Bear are just as good as if you went to a conference on your own. You learn right along side Goldilocks without realizing you're learning.

There are three layers to this book - the first layer is that you get to read a novel about a girl who learns how to use the Snowflake method on her own story. It is a hidden gem and I hope this review helps others give it a chance. I've used Randy's Snowflake Method before from his website () and while it gave me the best results of any creative paradigm I've tried, the instruction left me feeling a little glassy-eyed. You can create story outlines using the Outliner, complete with summaries in the Synopsis section of each document (i.e., on the note-card). The Snowflake method can easily be implemented in Scrivener by creating a document template that has all the Snowflake method work products in the Research section. The UI in particular is something out of the 90s-functional but ugly. As an implementation of the method, the Snowflake program doesn't really add much. I have used the Snowflake output as input to a Scrivener project, and I've written snowflake-method driven treatments using other pieces of software, including both StoryBox and Writemonkey. It doesn't provide a means for you to proceed to creating the first draft it's strictly a planning tool. The end result is a novel 'treatment' down to the scene level, consisting of character summaries, plot element summaries, and scene summaries.

It consists of a series of forms that you fill in. Snowflake (the program) is a narrowly focussed implementation of a novel planning process (the Snowflake method, which is explained in detail on the snowflake website: ). Mostly people use it for creating drafts, though with its increasing support for ebooks, that picture is changing. I find it a good tool for 2nd drafts, too, but that's not relevant to your question. Scrivener is an open-ended toolbox for organizing writing projects and producing a good first draft of just about anything-novel, short story, poem, screenplay, essay, you name it. But I'll try to explain why I think that. They can't be compared, IMO, because they do such different things. If you have any questions about these guidelines, please contact the moderators.
