Thanks Pia, I think there's plenty of writers, with varying degrees of experience, that would be great to interview... I'll keep trying to line them up |

Thanks, Anthony:
An interesting read. I am all for more competitors in the software business - should lead to lower prices and better products.

Aw shucks, thanks Janet... I'm blushing again!!!
Dave - agree and Fade In is already pretty good value at the standard price of $50! With the generous discount I'm gonna buy it and use instead of FD for a month or two, see how it handles.
Have the 2015 Page Award winner and this years Nashiville Winner lined up for future interviews too.

Just when I caved and finally started using Final Draft... Also, am I really missing out not listening to Craig Mazin and John August? I tend to find what professional screenwriters have to say discouraging to the point where I wonder if it's even good for me to listen to them. In any case, good interview, Anthony. |

And thanks James. |

It's a fine product. You won't regret the purchase, IMO. |

I actually picked it up last year and already do not regret the purchase. It only feels like I just caved because I've been writing for over ten years (and 2015 went by fast). Definitely makes writing easier. It's also got a wonderful system for taking notes, which is a dream for a serial note-taker like myself. I used to just stick them in between lines in bold, which made the pages look like all kinds of a mess. |

Yep - I always write in split screen. The note cards on the left side and the script on the right. The color codes for the script boxes have been a great tool for me not getting frozen. I use red-yellow- green, Red - I think it sucks or has a plot point problem - move on and come back later Yellow - pretty good - needs some clean up - come back later Green - love it as is. Rather than getting stuck for days in any one scene - I just hit the appropriate color and keep moving. |

If you want to hear an interview with the Final Draft guys check out the Scriptnotes podcast, episode 129 I think... very funny! |

Just a suggestion for Don, Janet, Anthony or whomever:
How about compiling all the interviews in a subcategory in the STS section? That would allow users to find all the interviews in one place. |

Thanks Anthony. Just thought it would make newer members aware of them and help current members make sure they don't miss any. |
