I just looked up the dream kit you mention. It sounds like it has some good ideas (as you mention, why are your villains villainous?) but also forces you to use their model of storytelling. That's one problem I've found with nearly all the writing programs I've looked at - they're either limiting to their model, or they're so free-form I might as well stick with Vim. (I have found a program I really like so far, but it's mac only - not sure which system you use - and still in beta.)

And I know exactly what you mean about not having to deal with rejection... as long as I haven't submitted, I can console myself with the thought that I'm a much better writer than most of the stuff that's published. :-)
