Tiffany Rashawn: Actor, singer and screenwriter in San Antonio, Texas.

Another update and maybe no need for additional comments... I selected FadeIn. --- I am currently doing it by just writing in MSWord and formatting as I go. A bit more laborious I suppose so I am wondering what your opinion is about using dedicated writing software in general and what software you prefer. What at the features that make it worth buying? What features do you love? Can’t live without? ...........UPDATE: Thanks for all the helpful advice. I did look into several software but dumped them quickly. They simply didn't download and launch properly or not all functions worked properly or they seemed needlessly complex/cryptic/. I'm using a ThinkPad with Windows 10 and everything up to date. I could probably get them working with some time invested but in my world, if it doesn't work right out of the box then I look for something else. That experience included Trebly, Writer Solo, Arc Studio, Final Draft and a few others I can't recall at the moment. With Final Draft, I was sent a key for the 30 day trial software which was not accepted by the software I installed. Brilliant. But... FadeIn worked immediately and is totally intuitive. As for continuing in MSWord, all one has to do is understand how "Styles" works and create styles that have the proper formatting and that is what I was doing. Simple to do. But FadeIn (and others I am sure) have built in handy shortcuts that make it a little easier to write. Also MSWord can't export your work in the .fdx format which seems to be a big deal.

Am thankful to writer/producer Daniel Blake Smith for optioning my rom thriller THE DEAL part of THE FALLEN ANGEL SERIES.

Script well under way, will keep you updated. Good luck to all in 2021.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! What are your goals for the month? I'm starting a new screenplay this month.

Hello! I'm introducing myself after being on Stage 32 for years. I'm learning. I've been acting for many years and just started embracing my writing this year. I wrote my first screenplay this year, outlined another and am working on an outline for an episode for a show. I have to say, I surprised myself. It's just the beginning! I am open to any advice. If you need encouragement or a cheerleader, I am your person! I am like the moon. I reflect the Sun and bring light in darkness.

Just wanted to say, Happy New Year! What are your goals for this month? I'm going to be working on a new screenplay this month

Hello everyone...I’ve been on here but been MIA kind of. Wanted to stop by and say hello!!

Greetings!

I am a master storyteller based in Atlanta, who uses words to heal people (think Yoda meets Issa Rae). I’m currently seeking a home for my 30 minute pilot, “Brotherly Love,” which was a semifinalist in the 2020 BET PROJECT CRE8 competition. Think “Martin” meets “Fraiser.”

Anyone else stuck with that voice telling you you either can't or you don't deserve? Well, join the club. I've gone from a decade ago being easily able to get my thoughts down on paper and pump out scripts on a regular basis, for my eyes only. But now that circumstances allow me to proceed with my greatest story (the one friends and colleagues have encouraged me to start for years), I've been struggling to get started.

That changed somewhat last month when instead of just setting forth on a script, the way I've gone about the process before, this time I'm writing an outline. A quite extensive one. But again, a few pages in, that bloody inner critic is telling me I'm dreaming if I think I'm going to make any headway.

But sod it. 2021 is going to be the year of self belief and advancement for this nugget in my head so here's to all the dreamers. Have a happy holidays, Christmas or whatever it is you'll be up to in these last few days of 2020, the worst blinkin' year on record I suspect for many. Let's make next year one to remember.

Hi everyone,

I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to turning the page on 2020. Very interested to hear what folks have been cooking up in quarantine.

I was determined to come out of my creative bunker with a workable screenplay for my first feature next year, and I'm proud to say I've got a treatment! (Let's see how quickly I can type a script from that!) But I'm putting a stake in the ground to direct "The Heritance" in 2021—where a single mom inherits a grand old house and her teenage daughter unleashes the demon within.

Here's hoping that you have been able to make the best of a bad situation, and regardless, hoping you can enjoy the Holiday season safely!

Looking forward to seeing what you've all been up to.

So I receive an email suggesting to come on introduce yourself. So hi everyone, hope you are all well amidst these crazy times. I disappeared off the scene for sometime due to my health and also when Covid hit I decided to return to caring in a way to help those who need it more. As well as this I have been working hard on getting my new small studio ready for launch next year. I decided to go for a new studio as I was finding work and recognition ridiculously hard here in the North East of England, UK. I don;t have money to keep submitting everywhere and acting jobs are all south England or USA. I struggle to write after developing CFS after an accident at work that left me with Fibromyositis and RAS. I recently had 2 discs removed from the top of my spine resulting this so this year has been a strange one to say the least. Next year however I aim to come back with a bang. I may not be able to write like I used to and can;t afford a ghost writer but I do have scripts that I would like to see developed. So fingers crossed next year I might just get the chance I feel I deserve and I truly hope you all follow your dreams and passions and also get a chance to shine. Stay safe everyone.

Johnny, thank you for the connect!!

Thank you for the connect, Moses! It was fun being in the Abhita film with you. It's always nice to be around serious actors for a project. I hope all is well.

Thank you, Srinivas, for the connect!!
