Thanks for the update. This looks to be a very practical tool
and something I could get on board with. This is nothing like
Dramatica Pro. Thought they were the same type of program, just
dressed up differently. Will definitely be looking into this a
bit more.

I will warn you though that the program is only as organized as
you are. When I opened that file, all it was was "Drafts" and
"Research." I had to make all those categories. And in fact,
since this screencap was taken, I integrated all my random notes
for this idea, including characters, and it got BUSY! But I
worked out the Work/Play/Fling structure from Nip/Tuck and so
now I"m organizing all the random scenes into those categories
(I don't have anything for the mob side of this... I need some
good mob action movies to watch!) I can't really go into too
much detail/examples without starting to give away with the
project is, though (although I will say to me, it's fairly
obvious).

[center]22 Lessons From Stephen King On How To Be A Great Writer

From the master himself. If you can't find one thing to take
away from this, then you shouldn't be attempting to write at
all. This is something to keep handy at all times should you get
discouraged. All Hail KING!

So what is a beat sheet and who, how, where and why?

Beat Sheets are what Hollywood Producers like to use when it
comes to putting together a script. They are under the
impression that every movie made has these particular plot
points, hence why the criticism of every movie looks and feels
exactly alike. There is no deviation. Now, the trick in writing
a script is to deviate enough to create something "original"
while keeping the suits happy as long as their beats are met.
Another way of looking at Beat Sheets is a 'Paint-by-Numbers'
approach. Some say this is cheating while others use it as a
guideline to jump-start their own scripts when they have a
severe case of writers block.

I just saw this yesterday. I never watch ads on YouTube, but as
soon as this ad started, I was hooked.

This popped up in my Suggestion Feed a couple of months back,
but for whatever reason, I didn't click on it. I think I was
searching for something else at the time and thought I had saved
this for later. Anyway, just watched this and the deconstruction
is spot on and learned some things that I never really thought
about. There is a lot to take away from this. I see myself going
back and watching this from time to time in the future just to
remind myself of what I want to do with my writing. Great stuff
here.
