The Amazing Screenplay Writing Software That Takes Your Ideas From First Glimmer to Bulletproof Outline

Created by Jeffrey Alan Schechter, THE TOTALLYWRITE DEVELOPMENT SUITE streamlines the story development process from the first glimmer of an idea to a professionally structured, bulletproof outline. And as William Goldman says in his book ADVENTURES IN THE SCREEN TRADE, "Screenplays are structure."

No confusing jargon to learn, this four-module program is simple, powerful, and above all, TRULY USEFUL!

With the TotallyWrite Development Suite Version 3 as your writing partner you will be able to:

• Answer the 4 simple questions that shape EVERY screenplay in the top 50;
• Develop the single-sentence logline that LAYS OUT YOUR ENTIRE SCRIPT like a roadmap;
• Identify the 4 archetypes every protagonist moves through LIKE CLOCKWORK from "fade in" to "fade out;"
• Lay out the 12 foundation beats of ACT ONE;
• Discover a system of breaking down ACT TWO that is so ruthlessly easy you will never get stuck on page 55 again;
• Craft the 4 final beats of ACT THREE that readers and audiences expect and that define your script as MARKETABLE and PROFESSIONAL.

Much more than an outliner and not just another story development tool, the four modules of THE TOTALLYWRITE DEVELOPMENT SUITE function as a central desktop repository for your ideas and projects, from inspiration to execution.

MODULE #1 - THE DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM:
The heart and soul of the THE TOTALLYWRITE DEVELOPMENT SUITE, this detailed tool takes the guesswork out of structuring your idea. Providing you with a simple, fill-in-the-blanks form, you can easily take a story from concept to full beat sheet, graphically displayed so you can get a full sense of how your story flows.

Once you have the form completely filled in, you can then open the WORLDVIEW FORM to give you a road map of on what pages key beats should fall out in your script. Refer back to this form while you write to monitor whether you’re writing too long or too short. It's absolutely indispensable!

Also included in the TotallyWrite Development Paradigm is the Four Questions/Four Archetypes/Formula form. The what?! This simple form is the simplest, strongest tool you'll ever have to guarantee a character-driven story that can "go the distance."

MODULE #2 - THE IDEA SHOEBOX:
A place for ideas, substantially neater than keeping them in a shoebox. Store loglines and ideas categorized based on the source, type of idea and logline itself. Have you told it to anyone? What was the feedback? Open up the IDEA SHOEBOX module and keep a detailed record of every idea that pops into your head.

MODULE #3 - THE PROJECT TRACKER:
Every project has a life-cycle. When did you develop it? When did you pitch it? What was the result of the pitch? Who did you send a copy of the script to? On what date? Click on the PROJECT TRACKER module and never forget another important fact or date about a project. A simple to use utility to help you keep track of your script's progress from development to sale. Well...hopefully to sale.

MODULE #4 - THE RANDOM THOUGHTS CATALOG:
Have you even had an idea for a snippet of dialog, an interesting location, thrilling action beat, scene concept, or even just a title or joke that got lost because you didn’t write it down and store it somewhere safe? Use the RANDOM THOUGHTS module and never lose another idea.

No other structure program combines such ease of use, thoroughness, and value.
