Media stuff has a fixed format, so there’s specialized software for it, but I found that I had to split the formatting part from the creating part. So I used to lock myself up in a motel room and just write for a few days using either pad and pen or whatever my current word processor was. Later I’d go home and plug it into the screenplay software. Everybody’s process is different, the best process is the one that works for you.
Scrivener looks pretty cool. I like that their focus is on getting you through the first draft.
yes and it apparently has different formats for short story, novels and screen plays
