    The Scrippets plug-in for WordPress seems to be working well for self-hosted blogs, but it’s no use to folks who use services like Blogger, Tumblr and the like. For people on these on these platforms, the cost of simplicity is customization — they’re easy to use and hard to modify.

    UPDATED. See below.

    For the past four years, I’ve been including little blocks of formatted screenplay examples in my posts, such as…

About

This site is run by screenwriter John August. Mostly, he answers reader-submitted questions about the craft, but occasionally he goes on tangents that run far afield of writing and filmmaking. You'll also find info on past, present and future projects.


For photos, blurbs and uncomfortable self-promotion, you can check out his Facebook fan page.
