Heh! i don't! all you need is OpenOffice.Org Writer and a propperly written script to go after. i spent days on it but i made the format of my script perfect with no software at all.

But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

hi Alfred,
don't you think that you're wasting your time spending days just working on format?
think how many movies you could see... unless you like it and thats what makes you feel more "in"...
for me it would be browsing the internet looking for another MP3 player I cant afford...

hi ghost,
there's one quite good and cheap: http://www.scenewriterpro.com/, and they have huge special promotion now...

all the best mates...

Quoted from process
Don't you think that you're wasting your time spending days just working on format?


Days working on format? I actually have software, but still write 99% of my first drafts in MS Word due to it being available where I write as I only have the software at home. I just set my tabs, watch the ruler, and I come out with a perfectly formatted first draft because studying the format is as important as studying the story or studying the synopsis. My most recent is Fempiror 1x07 which was written entirely in Word, only a few tweaks from the first draft, and made a pdf using an online pdf converter. I would challenge you to find a single formatting error...

hi Alfred,
thats what I thought, man... all the best

hi George,
why did you quote me?, that's not my words, i was just responding to Alfred's post, he's the One who started it...
i've got no choice but agree with you, working... sorry studying the format is very important indeed, but i think that it is more convienient to use software and focus on polishing the plot up... when you dont have too much time, of course. like me.
i would never dare to cross the swords with you, not yet, but wait till my english will be better and my experience in the subject bigger...
