Anybody tried Celtx Screenwriting Software Lately?

[wgjones3]

I just downloaded the latest version and was shocked to see they've added a storyboard feature. Awesome! !thumbsup!

Oooh, aaah.

My buddy Paul Christian Glenn uses SuperNoteCard by Mindola (available in both Win and Mac versions). As complex as my serial adventure novel is getting to be, I've been looking around at the different software options.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check it out.

Story boarding is a great thing. The guy who is our director just got some software that he can actually do a simulated (motion) storyboard and scene preview. It amazing what technology can do.

Oops, I guess I should have posted a link.

Hey Phy, have you tried out Jer's Novel Writer? It's got some database features to help organize things like characters, settings, scenes--plus on the margins there's an area for notes (they won't print, though). Mr. Otis recommended it years ago, and it looks like there's a lot of potential there, just haven't been able to get away from Word 2004.

In case you want to try it (OS X only):

I haven't, no. I've been writing in whatever version of Word is hanging around (Work 2k at work, Word 2003 at home, Word for Mac on the PowerBook) but I'm starting to lose track of important details and my outline, in Excel, only goes so far.

My buddy swears by SuperNoteCard, and I've downloaded the free trial, but haven't taken the time to set it up for my serial novel in progress (now on chapter 11).

That's one thing I'd need - interoperability between Windows and PowerBook depending on where I am atm.

This one looks much improved. Thanks for the heads up.

That looks great. Wish I had broadband cause it's taking a while to download tonight.
