Do they counts as tools of my trade if I am not getting paid for what I do? Maybe not but no matter.
As well as my bundles of paper, pencils and ink I can type. The words here are a bit of a giveaway...
I normally type my scripts up first time without drafting them on paper first. For this is use Celtx which I discovered through Indy Mogul, which I discovered when researching ageing techniques to be used in a script that was, at that time being typed in a Microsoft Word document. Celtx really is very impressive, it's free but has all of the formatting needed for several different writing mediums. I predominantly use, because of the nature of the things I write, the screenwriting template.
I could (probably) honestly say that I would not have written my first script if it wasn't for that program, not sure I could have hacked hitting the 'tab' key in word to get the correct formatting all those times!
When I'm typing up second drafts, o9r sometimes first drafts of stories I normally use Word for Mac on my rather aging desktop, :( or open office on my quite flash Acer Aspire One.
Look to the twitter page over the coming week, I'm off to a place above Scotland. Waited for this a long time, very happy. Maybe I'll bring some stories home with me. We'll see...
How's everybody doing with National Novel Writing Month?
Keep smiling,
Sx
