ICYMI: SoCreate’s Story Stream is Now Bigger & Better Than Ever!
Based on member feedback, we’ve made a big improvement to our software that will enhance your focus and lessen distractions while you write. And we could all use more of that!
The Story Stream is now centered, rather than the writing area being offset to the left side of your screen.
The Story Stream is now wider than ever, better mimicking the width of a traditional page.
Adding additional Story View columns no longer takes up a big portion of your screen.
Location images now fill the background of your screen, making your writing experience even more immersive than ever before!

Week 22: Let’s Write a Screenplay in 2024!
Welcome to week 22 of our journey to write a screenplay in 2024! This week, keep focusing on rewriting your script based on all the feedback you've received. Rewriting can be tough because feedback often feels personal, but it's a crucial step to make your script the best it can be.
Now is also the time to figure out what motivates you, because we’re into some of the final stretches of serious writing on this script. It’s easy to get bored with your story, feel lost, or to let other story ideas creep in and distract you.
Try setting a timer for a writing sprint. Start with just 20 minutes of distraction-free writing to see how far you can get. Then, repeat!
Or, check out some of these inspirational quotes to get you back on track.
Keep pushing forward, because you’re going to need a finished script to move on to our next exciting step next week!
If you want to take part in our challenge, get a recap of every weekly task since January 1 below.
