now back to the topic on this thread - before it got derailed so surreptitiously by those who really do have less-than-honorable intentions towards women writers

OP - like I said way back when - your choice of software really is up to you - you will be emailing a pdf when you submit it for WGA registration and elsewhere, so bottom line is whatever makes you the most comfortable will work.

also it's common now to register with your country's copyright office as soon as you have a first draft completed - which sounds like you do at 128 pgs. you can still make changes and update it w/o paying a new fee as long as the basic plot hasn't changed.

cheers!

I kind of agree with jfromtheway. Are writer's workshops insulting too since they are generally comprised of amateur writers? Perhaps studios should stop doing screen tests. After all, I've never really heard of a professional audience before, and who cares what any of us movie going schlubs think anyway? We're just the ones paying for tickets.

P.S. I do live in LA, and I have met many of you professional readers, and let's just say I'm not exactly bowled over by the standards required to become one. Quentin Tarantino was just a loser renting out videos in Santa Monica before he wrote True Romance and then Reservoir Dogs. You wouldn't have trusted a hobbyist like him to read a script either. That's why it's pretentious to assume that your cred is somehow more valuable than another person who could have an incredibly refined sense of story and pacing.
