Anyone else writing a novel or screen play?

[James]

I was wondering if anyone else is working on a novel or screenplay . . .

And whether you used a story development tool or writing program.

I user Dramaica Pro. A story development software that forces you to create well rounded characters.

I also use Magic Screenwriter 2000, it seems better than Final Draft.



Here is a comparison:

I am writing Directing an independant movie come October and will be posting an open casting Call On Greekchat to give Greeks a first crack at it . . .

IT should be kewl, its a supernatural thriller

cool. Let me know about the casting call. I'll bring headshots.

in a difficult, eye-aching, finger-cramping sorta way.

As a child, all I wanted to be was a writer. I wrote so many stories, and started so many books, it was a little scary. Somewhere in middle school, I stopped, and haven't written anything since (except classwork). I've decided to try my hand at it again. I'm not writing anything yet, but I am planning to participate in National Novel Writing Month this November.

From their website (http://www.nanowrimo.com):

"National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 200-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.

Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over talent and craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved. "

Me too!!! I just started taking a creative writing class and am submitting poetry to the class and teacher.
i am really excited about the class and am using some of my greek experiences( good and BAD) to find inspiration for writing.
What do you use for inspiration?

not novels, but short stories. It's been so long since I've written anything for fun I'm re-entering the writing world in a roundabout sort of way: I'm writing fanfiction, and beta-reading. It's interesting, there are some really unbelievable (in a good way) people at FictionAlleyPark. Plus they're saying good stuff about the story I've posted which always brightens my day. Fanfiction is great practice (for me, lots of others have really taken it to a new level).

I don't remember a time when I wasn't writing stories... and of course, I have the same ambition every other writer does: To pen the Great American Novel. Not going to happen anytime soon.

I don't use any software. Perhaps I should... I barely can bring myself to type stories. The computer seems so... intangible compared to a crisp piece of paper and a pen. I don't like involving technology with an art like writing. I'm weird, I know.

Hope to be reading a GC's book someday.

XOXO,
Annie.
