Decisions, Decisions

Holy Moley!  I've been researching different writing software lately; and there is a lot of it out there. 
I've been looking into The Marshall Plan Novel Writing Software , Power Structure, Story Weaver, Dramatica Pro and various others.  It gets a little over whelming, there are so many options. 
I want something that is easy to use pretty much from the get go.

 Mostly I just want help with the plotting aspect.  I want to make sure I have a good map before I leave on my journey.

I already use Write it Now, here's a review of the latest installment Write It Now 4 .  I really like it for keeping all my chapters notes in one place where they are easy to access.  They have a character creator that's pretty good too. 

When I started my last book I was a student with Long Ridge Writer's Group and Mary Rosenblum, my instructor was a huge help.  But now I'm flying solo and need to figure out my method. 

 I've got a pretty feel for my new work in progress; I've written chapter 1 and am pretty happy with it but I need more direction, a firmer path.  Once I get that I can get my butt in gear and get this book wrote before I lose my  spark. 

I'm really leaning towards The Marshall Plan software.  It is pricey but it's got good reviews and a 30 day money back guarantee.

I'll let you know how this goes.  When I pick the one I want I will do a review or something here.
