SoCreate Feature Highlight: Viewing Dialogue Hints in SoCreate
Dialogue in SoCreate can be enhanced by using a number of fun features within the Dialogue Stream Item, such as dialogue direction and dialogue type. If you’re ever stuck on how to use these features, we’ve got you! Just click the convenient question mark icon to access a brief tutorial on these tools.

Stretch your imagination with our weekly writing challenges! Each week, we set up a new prompt in SoCreate Writer. Just click “accept the challenge” and start writing.
Location: INT – Department of Motor Vehicles – Day
Characters: Duane; Janice
Scene Description: Duane (34) anxiously taps his foot while looking at the ticker that displays the number next in line. He’s number 48. Janice (55), a DMV employee bordering on retirement, calls number 12. Duane is losing his cool.
Prompt: Write a scene that flips Duane’s attitude from negative to positive when something unexpectedly happy happens right in front of him at the DMV. What does he see, and what conversation does he hear between whom?
Extra Credit: Create an Alias for one of you characters, locations, or props! To create Aliases, type the '@' sign to open the Quick Add tool, then click the Add Alias link next to the item you would like to add an alias to. Aliases enable you to refer to a Character, Location, or Prop by an alternate name. Suppose you have a character named Duane, but you would like to refer to him as "The Dude" or "D-Man", you would want to add these names to the character Duane as aliases, then you can @mention the character "Duane" by @The Dude or @D-Man. You can do the same for Locations and Props.
That’s all for this week, writers. Keep growing, keep writing, and make your unique voice heard!
See you next week,
