hey buddy, i want to be a screenwriter. what's the current number of pages for an episode?? and 30 minutes episode?

Figure about a page a minute.

@williepea it's said that one page equals 1 min of screen time. it also depends on how much dialog or action you have on your pages.

Just and FYI: An October 2006 screenwriting software survey asked industry writers and professionals which screenwriting software they preferred, 56% said Final Draft, which is first place. In second with 24% preferring was MS Word Add-Ins, beating out Movie Magic that has 22% preferred. While Celtx was in last with 2% preferred.

As a Final Draft user and screenwriter I really like it. However MS Word is great for dialogue as FD lets you convert/import that into word.

I mean a Word file into a Final Draft.

It looks like "Movie Magic". You can use different ones. Most industry people have a preference but it differs from writer to writer, etc.  My favorite is Final Draft and that's the one I use.

Final Draft is $229 and you can get it at the writer's store online. The Writer's Store also sells other screenwriting software and gives you a pretty good description on what it does, its capabilities and platform compatibility. It really depends on your preference, after all YOU are the writer.
