Writing Tips and Sample Index Cards

Even experienced writers usually learn by trial and error. So, nearly every writer can benefit from additional ideas about the process of creative writing.

Between The Lines includes two different educational and suggestion areas. The first is the Writing Tips section, available through the Help menu. Here you will find essays on many aspects of the writing craft, including tips on finding inspiration and developing your story.

The second form of help is a series of pre-built Comment Cards that automatically open in the Card Drawer. Each of these describes a different dramatic element that ought to appear in most well-structured screenplays.

These are just guidelines, not a script-writing formula. So use them to generate ideas for your story, edit them to suit your specific script, and delete any that don't apply.

You can, of course, create as many of your own Cards as you like!
