Script Writing Software
Was a bit worried about getting started on writing a script, because I realized there is a lot to learn and a lot of formatting that needs to be done. I was hoping to find a software program that would help with that. I asked around and I think I found the perfect fit – It is called Celtx and while I haven’t actually used it to write a script yet, I have played around with it a lot and I like it. I haven’t found anything else comparable yet (except Final Draft but that isn’t FREE).
There is a professional version of Celtx also, called Celtx Studios. I have not used that either, and don’t see any reason too. It looks like it is a monthly subscription for that product, but the download for Celtx was completely free and you don’t have to join the studios portion.
To download a completely free version of Celtx – go here.

Committing To Script Frenzy
I have done a lot of research, bought a couple of books, and done a lot of reading over the past couple of weeks and I have decided AND committed to doing Script Frenzy. The best part is, I am not doing it alone for the first time. My step daughter has participated in NaNoWriMo [...]
Script Frenzy? To Do, or Not to Do?
So… do you do Script Frenzy? Have you ever? Is this your first year?
I have actually never done it before, though I have participated in NaNoWriMo for six years now.
I’m in the middle of editing one of my WIP’s right now, but I figure that I should probably need a break from it, come mid-March [...]

Where to write…
My very favorite place to write happens to be outside. In nature. Doesn’t matter so much where as long as its beautiful. In the Winter, its a lot harder for me to write anywhere outside because it is just too cold. So, instead I make myself nice and comfy on my sofa, grab a cup [...]
The Pocket Muse 2
I picked up The Pocket Muse 2 by Monica Wood, today. I know I’m a little behind the times, as it was released quite awhile ago. I really enjoyed the first one though and have had it for a couple of years. When I am just plain stuck, for whatever strange reason, just looking at [...]
Examiner.com – St. Louis Frugal Family Examiner
Very excited!! I applied to be the examiner.com St. Louis Frugal Family Examiner after noticing that the previous writer had not published anything since April of last year. I waited for awhile before applying to see if she would post again, but she never did. I took the chance about two weeks ago and went [...]
Writing Inspiration… erm… sort-of!
My mom sent this to me because of course she immediately thought of me when she read it. It cracked me up, and I wanted to share it.
Just in case you need some writing inspiration. Every year, English teachers from across the USA can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high [...]
Words That Aren’t Words
A couple of years ago, one of the pastor’s of my church left, details aren’t important. He moved and now is the pastor at a church there. There are two things I regret since he left. 1.) I never realized how extremely funny he is. 2.) I never realized what a grammar/word nerd he actually [...]
The New Year of Goals and Resolutions 2010
Every year I get an itch to write out some resolutions, though I never call them that – I always call them goals. I try to balance them out with a few very short term goals, a few longer term goals and a few full year goals. This year I wasn’t as motivated to write [...]
