Gotta think big. My mind is in constant fast -forward -- great for coming up with ideas and outlines on short notice, but bad for leaving too much ground unturned in the process. Trying to slow it down. |

What can I say, I like helping the underdogs. Hopefully, no one in my heat is reading these threads. Chris p.s. MisterWrite, that is the most unusual writing metaphor I ever heard. Edited by Chris Messineo - 23 Jul 2006 at 11:20am |

I have a tip. When you finish, do not be in a rush to send your script in. After you finish, read through your script several times and eliminate all of the typos. Concentrate on spelling and grammar and punctuation. After you have it all perfect - read it again because you have missed something - a period where a question mark should be - a comma - something. Then let someone else proof it. The thing is this, you do not want anything in your script that will "take the reader out of the moment." Any mechanical thing that is not perfect is a a distraction. (see?) If the judge pulls her attention away from your script because you misspelled something, you might just not get her back.

Great advice.
It amazes me how many people don't take the time to proof their own work.

Does anybody know if Final Draft has a word count feature and if it does where do you find it?
Thanks,
Joan

Final draft word count: Tools -> Report -> Statistics Report I'm not sure what you'd use it for. Prose is usually counted in number of words, screenplays are always counted in pages since the format is pretty standardized. Joel
