Although you say to tick as many as we'd like, when I did so I got a message saying the maximum number was one. Just wanted to let you know. Great post, btw.

I know that in the States a lot people would have a picture of themselves in a suit looking all 'business' and hyper-successful. I think it's one of those charming cultural differences. In the UK, copywriters virtually never wear a suit. As for the beer, well, we're a nation of boozers I suppose. Not as bad as the Germans, however. Now they really know how to drink. Steve

Keep 'em coming and I might do another post to include some of the additional software. Or if any PC users out there want to review the Windows offerings on their own blog, link back here and let me know - I'll post a link to your review. Thanks Kat – any more tips?

It helps keep me organized, and it was developed by an author as a tool HE found helpful. I've also heard that RoughDraft is good for script writing, and both are open-source (aka "free").

I've just taken a quick look at CeltX and it looks astonishing. I'll download it and give it a spin. And for everyone else out there - CeltX is available for PC, Linux and Mac OS X. It does movie scripts, AV, theatre plays, radio and good old plain text. Alexandre, thanks for the tip. I’ve just taken a quick look at CeltX and it looks astonishing.
