Be sure you do try it, and really give it a workout before you decide.
I really like the thing. My writing buddy friend (who is a far better writer than me) can't stand working with it. He's strictly an index card type of guy.
I think this is one if those apps you either love or hate. Like DramaticaPro and a many other writer's tools, there doesn't seem to be a middle ground with this stuff.

40hz, what's your gut reaction to this question, you don't have to overexplain it:
Outline 4D vs. Liquid Story Binder ?

@Curt - the Writer's Store (www.writersstore.com) has an easier return policy. Standard 30-day if not satisfied, subject to any restrictions by the software publishers themselves on specific products - which are clearly pointed out on the website. They carry most products.
Good people to deal with. I shop there regularly and I've been very happy with the prices and their service.

Getting a little too long-winded for you huh? (Overexplain? Me?) ;D

OK.
If I were buying only one thing:
* I'd go with Liquid Story Binder if I were a fiction or dramatic writer that needed a central place to store my stuff, and some tools to help me create and keep it all organized.
* I'd go with Outline 4D if I were primarily involved with story development and plot brainstorming - or if I were writing a complex book or TV series (e.g. Harry Potter, Alias, Lost, 24, MI5, etc.) where I needed to stay on top of numerous characters, multiple plots or subplots, and story elements.
So my gut? Most folks should start with LSB.
Does that answer? :)
superboyac:
Excellent! OK, I'm going to stick with LSB. I haven't used it yet, but I will very soon, that's why i want to decide beforehand. Thanks!! No you're not longwinded, I'm just short-tempered...perhaps you deserve a superboy DC badge.
