The Final Draft 7 software came today. It's a little different than the old version. I had a few questions that weren't answered in the manual, but they were answered by the Final Draft web site.
So far, it's going well. I should easily be able finish in a month, provided I average 4 pages a day, since a screenplay shouldn't exceed 120 pages. Of course, the key is condensing the material (enough for a novel) into a script of that length. Of course, my screenplay has a huge back story (the story up to the point where the movie begins). I'd love to fit in as much of that material as possible, through dialogue, flashbacks, etc. Accomplishing that will be no mean feat. Wish me luck.
