Screenwriters have two psychological states: playful/creative/flow vs organizing/filtering/analytical. We need both but it's impossible to engage both at the same time. We simply cannot edit + create at the same time! This is fundamental. #screenwriting & www.talkingdraft.com

The dreaded first draft trap stops too many projects from existing. You can always rewrite a bad page. You can't help a blank page. So "Talking Draft" it out of your head and into the world! #screenwriting & www.talkingdraft.com

Talking Draft
As you dictate your dialogue and action… Label who-says-what with the tap of one button. The Talking Draft Method dates to the Golden Age of Hollywood. On Broadway, playwrights do dialog in this way.
