I am the co-creator of StoryCraft Story-Creation Software, which began in 1996 as one of the first software programs for fiction writers. Back then, when no one even knew how software could be used to help you write a story, my company was the first to coin the term "story-creation software." Now called StoryCraft New Edition, in its first major makeover in nearly two decades, the program is the only writer's software that allows writers to create any kind of fiction of any genre or any type, all based on the Mythic Hero Journey pattern integrated into the program by StoryCraft co-inventor John Jarvis. His Jarvis Method was the first to fully embrace the Journey pattern in all story writing, and through his software it continues to influence the creation of modern novels and movies to this day.
I want to bring StoryCraft New Edition to the attention of writers everywhere. Any assistance in helping me to spread the word about the software -- through reviews, social media, etc. -- is enormously appreciated. You may contact me (Irwin Berent) at WriterSuperCenter.com or at TheHeroPlace.com
To elaborate: Using the literary classic A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, as a reference and guide throughout the program, StoryCraft is not only a tool for designing, writing, and managing your stories but also a complete learn-as-you-write course in fiction writing with a built-in curriculum for using the software in the classroom or homeschool as well as for personal use.
Indeed, while professional writers use StoryCraft to develop novels & screenplays, anyone can use it just for the pure joy of expressing yourself through your own non-judgmental creative imagination. And whether you write for publication or just for self-expression, the software can even be used to create stories based on your own life for resolving traumas and other life issues. In fact, you can use StoryCraft for therapy too, as it gives you the freedom to delve into any traumas or challenges you have faced in your life by creating fictional stories with characters and situations that may mirror your own experiences while giving you the emotional distance of “just being a story” — to see yourself as a hero on a journey.
I welcome your interest in StoryCraft Story-Creation Software and its many uses for telling the Hero's Journey.

The 'no longer in the MCU' news?
I saw it, but I think that one of them will cave. Sony doesn't have a great track record when it comes to Spider-Man movies and Disney has involved Spider-Man in many of the plots of the CMU. They need each other.
Good point. Let's hope they realize it too.
