I got in a row the other day with a woman, who shared a post with her opinion about the toxicity of persons critical of Mary Sue characters.
https://philosophics.blog/2026/03/15/encounter-with-mary-sue/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=social
After much pushback, she turned off the ability to comment, so she forced my hand to respond otherwise. I resorted to my blog – and here.

Ah, yes, because clearly everyone needs their very own Command Line Interface Übermensch to navigate the mind-boggling complexity of... writing basic scripts. 🙄 Why buy a tool when you can spend eons building a half-baked one with more acronyms than usefulness? 🛠️💡

☆Fade In review☆

Let me just say this: I love Trelby. But I've outgrown it. If you're getting started with screenwriting, start with Trelby. It hasn't updated in years, but it's FOSS and will teach you the essentials.
Fade In sounded like it was going to do more of what I wanted and it's a fraction of the price of Final Dra... https://blog.bluestarcreations.net/blues-reviews/fade-in-review/

Working on a script about local manufacturing, and I'm feeling very spicy today. I've already written a couple of snarky sides that I'm sure will get removed before we record and edit.

#WritersCoffeeClub Ch 14 Nbr 18 — Do you read scripts? Would you try writing a script or screenplay?

I don't read scripts.

When my agent optioned a novel of mine, I decided it might be a good idea to create a script from that novel. Nice to have a screenwriting credit, right? I thought, how hard can it be?

I learned the hard way that there is a lot of skill required, and the ability to chunk down a novel-sized idea into its essence, to create a limited number of scenes that abstract its most important story lines whilst preserving the feel of the original novel. I did not have that ability. At that time, I couldn't write anything shorter than 100,000 words. To be able to write a script, not only do you have to have facility with dialogue, which I do, you need to be able to write very concise scenes.

I am not going to try writing a script or screenplay without being hired ahead of time and given somebody to help tutor me to do the best I can.

I suspect that won't happen.

I've been mucking about with stage plays and ended up using AI deepfake software to make an audio drama from a couple of them.

It's actually a lot of fun, but obviously having Russell Crowe star in an audio drama narrated by Alan Rickman would get me kicked off every distribution site on earth.

Regardless, I think the future of story-telling is facing a revolution. Here is why I think that....

This ad was on Reddit today for something called The Story Search, that claims it can help documentary makers with a story to turn it into a film - just tell them what it is and send all the material.

It should not need saying, but:

Please - I am begging you - DO NOT SEND this company, or any like it, your story, your material, or your agreement to abide by its bogus rites-hoovering.
