NEW YEAR STORY - COMING SOON
The Story - New Year Eve
Rohan was filled with mixed emotions. Today would be his last day in the Mumbai branch of Cooper & Cooper. He was instructed to take charge of the Pune office as an assistant manager. The new designation did not excite him. The reason was, Ragini. His love, his life. But what hurt Rohan the most was in all the years that he worked with her he could not convey his feelings.
Seated alone in his cabin, he decided to tell Ragini about his feelings at the party later in the evening.
SCREEN WRITING IN iPAD
Apple's iWork app called Pages allows you to use a 'Screenplay' template, located in the creative category of the template options. Though it doesn't work like Final Draft, screenwriting experience is not that bad, considering it was not made to perform like a full fledged screen writing software.
It is definitely a great alternative for budding writers, who might find the price of Final Draft and MovieMagic exorbitant.
However, there are two major problems in working with iWork pages screenplay template. One, keyboard shortcuts cannot be assigned to styles. Two, it doesn't give MORE and CONTINUED options. You can't key them in manually, because the moment you add some text, they will shift out of alignment.
As for the styles, it can be adjusted using the Inspector, to re-define what style happens next when you hit the return key.
