We ask all new members to pay it forward by inviting 5 fellow creatives to the network and by spreading the word of Stage 32 through other social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter. The more creatives, the stronger the network. The stronger the network, the more opportunities.
Thanks for joining the movement and for being a part of this most talented and inspiring community. I very much look forward to your contributions.
Thanks, and have a creative day!

I also make outlines, I have done pen and paper as well as MS word. I have not tried using Final Draft for outlining, yet.

I use Google Slides; each slide represents an index card. That way I can rearrange them as needed. :)

Expand commentI tried several well known programs. For my novel writing I used Scrivener. The problems with these programs is they come out with regular updates. Computer programmers don't think the way we do. They believe the more complex and convoluted a program is, the better it is. I have given up on Scrivener. It became, with the new upgrade, so layered, complex, and glitchy that I can't use it. I'm somewhat of a computer dinosaur, but I have no problem with Word, which I use now. I always went to the help button and downloaded the program's manual. Scrivener's new manual was 750 pages. Rediculous. Programmers live in world the rest of us never visit. The constant flow of improvements (?) produce a program that is so ponderous and complicated, that it turns in on itself. There is nothing complicated about pen and paper. And there is no users manual!
