Screenplay and Script Writing Software
|
|
When it comes to screenplay software each screenwriter needs to determine what they need from the program they purchase and pick one that fits their specific needs. Screenwriting software doesn't write the screenplay for you. Why do I say this? I don't want you to be under the impression one software application is "better" or the "best" script writing software. No script writing software should be chosen based on it helping you complete your screenplay "better" or "faster" than another.

Rewriting your Screenplay: The Road to your Audience
|
|
The process of rewriting is recreating. I need to make a contract with myself to make room in every moment of my writing for the imaginative magic of inspiration, that flash of brilliance which some call talent, the muse, God, or desperation, to deliver something that did not exist just a second before, but now lives forever, like a huge white rabbit suddenly from a hat. This usually happens when my fingers are on the keyboard and there's white below from where I'm typing, and I have no idea where I'm going. Or if I have some idea, I don't have the answer, but I trust and that's it.

How to Find Weaknesses in Your Script
|
|
You must not be afraid to hack, chisel or cut-out ANYTHING that
does not serve to push the story forward. Sooner or later,
you'll write a scene that is just plain good. You're in love
again and all is right with the world. Finally, you conclude
that it doesn't serve the story as it should. You must get a
divorce and hack it out of the script.
