[MacDV] Re: Sceeenwriting Software--Tools

[Matthew Guemple]

OK! Now that's what I'm talking about... that's why I keep saying do a  
treatment first!

Though I will say this. If you don't skin your knuckles once in a  
while, you don't fully appreciate not having to... and in some ways I  
think writing is still a somewhat old school endeavor. It should be  
hard at the beginning, it should make you sweat, you should have to  
really want to do it. Writing "...does not suffer fools gladly.." .
