A couple weeks ago inspiration prompted me to write a script (feature comedy) of my own.  After some quick googling I came across SS and have been lurking in a few of the forums trying to learn the lingo and what is involved in writing a decent script.  I picked a few scripts to read that sounded interesting and have learned quite a bit from just reading them.  The posted reviews also help a great deal, especially with the formatting.  I will attempt to make some comments of my own once I get through them.

As far as my idea, I have written a rough outline of the story and characters in notepad.  In one of the forums someone mentioned a program called Celtx. I downloaded it and began the process.  So far so good.  I wouldn't have ever guessed that would be as fun as it's been. I just hope I can portray these characters on paper like they are in my head

Welcome aboard, Dave.


I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

Hi Dave Welcome! (From a relative newbie...)

One thing I love to do on SS is to cruise the boards for interesting thread topics - there's so much about this stuff that you don't know you don't know...y'know? Oh, and the podcasts are excellent! (Props, Mike. I bow to your awesomeness.)

Anyway, good luck on your script!
