My name is Ashley and I live in Lexington Ky and I am trying to get myself motivated to finish my first script and get it ready to sell.
The mind of a screenwriter is a fascinating jungle of ideas. Many of us get ideas from a recent encounter, life experience, strangers conversations, a movie, etc.
What is the most common way you notice yourself finding an idea for the next script? Is it by having a specific character in mind and hav...

Honestly I get inspired by doing nothing and Ideas just pop into my head sometimes in the middle of the night I will wake up with a brilliant idea so I keep pen and paper by my bed to jot down those ideas and I will be inspired by movies that I have seen .
For me, stories start with one seed, one scene, a very moving scene, in which the main characters, their goals and problems, their backstories, and the entire vibe of the show/movie is encapsulated. F...

Nathan (17) loses his dad and his girlfriend close together he losses his way he goes to parties to try and deal with the pain. He meets Amy and he falls in love with her only to find out she is dying of cancer. He helps her finish off her wish list of things to accomplish before she dies.
Hi Ashley. What do you think of this one?
"A lonely teen, trying to drown out the loss of his own family, falls in love with a terminally ill cancer patient who needs help completing her bucket list before she dies."
To add to Anthony's version, my two cents... I'd delete "before she dies" to cut some redundancies. Also, this logline and story sound very dire, depressing. Is there any sense of humor or a reaffirmi...

Congratulations to you, Ashley! Writing your first screenplay is no easy task, and it is certainly something to be proud of. So excited to hear how this continues to progress!
We're all anxious to see the movie. Great premise.
To my fellow screenwriters: What software do you use? Personally I just started on Word and moved to Celtx, but I know Final Draft is the industry standard. Is it 100% necessary to use final draft?
Opinions welcomed
I highly recommend getting Final Draft 10.
I use WriterDuet. Easy to use. You can import and export fdx. (Final Draft) scripts with WriterDuet.
I also use Fade In Pro. It gives you the option to save export your scripts in Final Draft form if you need to.
One Post can change everything.
Even Though 2020 has been tough year there is no denying that . The one positive of 2020 is I have gotten 2 drafts done of my screenplay .
After losing his father in a car accident, a teenage boy interrupts his downward spiral when he falls in love with a terminally- ill girl and helps her complete her bucket list .

I feel when I am working on my script that I take one step forward and about 10 steps back I have written 80 pages and now I am stuck. Because I want to now change the story from the outline I had written .
Which screenwriting software would you recommend? And books about all the need-to-know necessities regarding screen writing?
The best school is reading scripts in my opinion and about softwares, there're lot (Final draft, writer duet, celtx...). Depends how much bucks you got, some are free some ain't.
Trelby software. It's free, easy, and simple.
