SoCreate Feature Highlight: Using the Focus Indicator
Navigating your script has never been easier with SoCreate's Focus Indicator. This feature helps you quickly locate where you are in your story and where your next Stream Item will be added.
SoCreate’s Focus Indicator appears as a narrow green vertical bar to the left of your Story Stream. As you scroll or arrow through your story, the Focus Indicator follows you and indicates which Stream Item it is currently focused on. Think of it as a cursor for your Story Stream.
When you add a new Stream Item like Action or Dialogue, for example, the new blank item will appear immediately beneath wherever your Focus Indicator was last.
SoCreate Weekly Writing Challenge
Unleash your creativity with SoCreate's weekly writing challenges. Each week, we offer a new prompt to inspire your writing and help you explore new storytelling horizons.
Location: INT – Bowling Alley – Night
Characters: Marilyn, Roger, Sam, Samantha
Scene Description: Roger (33) corrals his two kids, Sam (7) and Samantha (11), into their assigned bowling lane seating area. Marilyn (31) arrives with hands full of sodas, popcorn, and corndogs. Before she sets it all down, BLACKOUT. An audible gasp from the other patrons accompanies the power outage.
Prompt: Write a scary scene that includes the conversation between the parents (Roger and Marilyn) and their two kids (Sam and Samantha) immediately following the blackout. What caused the power outage, and what happens next?
Extra Credit: Personalize your story by changing the title. Click the three-dot menu icon in the green title card in the upper left-hand corner of your screen, then click 'Edit Story Settings' to type in a title of your own. Here, you can also edit your story's type, add an optional story description, and adjust writing credits.
As we walk with you on your screenwriting adventure, remember that creativity is a thrilling journey filled with discovery, growth, and joy. Keep exploring, learning, and writing in the way that only you can!
