SOFTWARE


Final Draft
Yes, there are other software packages out there, but Final Draft is pretty much the standard.

You can even exchange Final Draft files between Macs and that other kind of computer that I will refrain from naming (the one run by software from Redmond that gets all the viruses, spyware, and is a total pain in the ass to use).

Screenwriter's Initial Draft Pad

Although this is not software, it seems appropriate to mention it in this section, since it is a tool for writing and a temporary substitute for script software.
I hate writing by hand, but on the rare occasion that I need to do it, this pad is amazing. It has light blue lines on it to help you format a handwritten script. Then when you photocopy the pages, the blue lines disappear.
You can also get these pads at the Writers Store.
