Final Draft?!

LOL!

Yeah, let's teach 'em to use a crutch like this shitware.

I've written 26 original features, 2 mini-series, 4 pilots, had 7 optioned, landed an agent with ICM and secured two development deals using a very outdated installation of Word Perfect v6.0 for Windows.

Final Draft makes not a better writer nor crew head, but simply sterilizes and detaches writer and revisionist from the creative process through clunky hot-key automation.

TAB, CAPS and Spell Check is all you need.

@xlr8up I think you're right about final draft not making you a better writer but for me personally final draft lets me get ideas out quickly.

I don't think the tab, caps, and spell check works for everybody. I find the automation helps me out quite a bit and for me it actually is a key tool in my creative process. I mean, you don't even need Word Perfect really, you could use a typewriter if you wanted to.

@Paropa

Sure, I don't NEED WordPerfect, as you say, and YES I could be using a Typewriter, but then how would I use my custom WP Spell Checker?

Plotlines, parallel action and cinematic prose are my strengths... spelling is my weakness.

And please don't suggest I use a professional screenplay preparation service to manually spell check my scripts, I'm not a 70's throwback retroist.

I'm simply a realist who sees marketing hype used by companies like Screenplay Systems in order generate more sales.
