petition for Adobe to make a (good) writing program and call it ADOBE SCRIBE

I want Photoshop-style layers so I can make author metadata notes on outlines and reference images!

I want Trello-style columns and cards to make organizing visually more fun!

I want OneNote-style notebooks with endless notes and coloured tabs options!

I want Tumblr-style tags for detailed organization and filtering!

I want Evernote-style web clipping features for handy-dandy reference gathering!

I want DragonSpeak-style audio features like speech-to-text transcribing!

I want OneNote-style format mashup so we can draw pictures and makes notes on them!

I want Highland-style ability to convert documents into rich text and then into Final Draft for the screenwriters!

I want Pinterest-style boards for reference images!

I want Harvest-style timing and invoice capabilities for freelance purposes!

I want Hemmingway+Grammarly+similar programs for awesome spellcheck plus improving overall writing!

I want GoogleDocs-style collaboration for working on writing projects together!

I want Final Draft-style basic format templates for things like scripts, just to help writers have somewhere to start!

ETC ETC ETC!!!!

there are SO MANY AMAZING FEATURES Adobe could 1000% put into a software for writers that people would pay money to have all in one place. Adobe is known for its super robust programs and constant updates.

of course, it’s all up to personal preference, but I just can’t help but feel like they are seriously ignoring the writers in the world, especially since they have so many other programs for so many other branches of industry. They even have a program for copyediters and USED to have one for production screenwriting that they sunsetted only a few years ago (I feel like that’s cause Final Draft is industry standard and they just couldn’t overrule that existing standard with Adobe Story)

if it was up to snuff for an Adobe program, I’d be willing to spend money on Adobe Scribe, you bet your notebook @plague-daddy @classydeathstroke

The Library of Unspoken Things Part 3: The Stories That Choose You

I thought libraries were meant for choosing, you walk in, pick a book, and carry it with you. But here, you don’t decide. The stories decide. I wandered past shelves holding quiet grief, next to others trembling with confessions that never found a voice. Some glowed faintly, as though hope still lived inside them. Others faded into the dimness, they have been untouched for too long. Then I felt…

Can Writing Style Be Deliberate and if Yes, How?

Can Writing Style Be Deliberate and if Yes, How?

Writers are not machines. And I don’t believe, not even for a second, that machines can ever take over the role of writers. But machines are definitely giving writers a run for our money. So, if you’re serious about keeping the fire and passion about writing alive, here are a couple of things writers can do to change things up. (more…)
