When I first heard that Amazon Storywriter — the online, web-based screenwriting application — was shutting down next month, my first reaction was, I admit: wait, didn’t they shut down a while ago? Then I remembered that’d been Adobe Story, another (at least partially) online screenwriting application.

(This is a more technical article than usual. Programmers might find it interesting. Everyone else, just trust me: it is, every word, sage and true.)

First of all, a little history about the pricing of Fade In Professional Screenwriting Software. When Fade In was first released, the plan was to give it a regular price tag of $99.95 (US), or around one-half to one-third the price of Final Draft (depending on where and when you buy it). For software for which the starting point was supposed to be feature-for-feature FD compatibility, that seemed like a pretty fair price. But since no one had heard of Fade In yet, it made sense to give it a lower introductory price, and that was decided to be $49.95.

For the longest time I’d been resistant to the idea of putting up a page listing some of the well-known users of Fade In. People kept saying “You should do this!” And I kept saying “Well…” and not doing it.

This is the soundtrack for Bull, an independent feature I wrote and directed once upon a time. I also did the music and, since it was just sitting around on a hard drive and it occurred to me that a soundtrack isn’t much good if it isn’t getting listened to, here it is in case anyone is interested in doing that. It might (might!) actually make for half-decent background writing music. Or something.

What The Black List is doing with their table reads podcast is pretty interesting, and I thought I’d give a little glimpse into what that experience was like for me and CHROME NOIR.

The Black List — the website run by the folks behind the annual list of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood — has recently begun a podcast where selected scripts are performed as table reads.
