Those days when you accidentally wrote dialogue in a character line earlier in the day, and now offers 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" as a character option until you get around to deleting it.

Here's a neat hack to help with productivity.

We all use the built-in macros. Some of us have tweaked them, or created specific ones for Flashbacks, etc. But have you done this?

You're writing a show, and a lot of action takes place in "Abigail's Loft".
Create a macro called LOFT# (or whatever works for you), set the Element to "Scene Heading", change Macro Text to "INT. ABIGAIL'S APARTMENT/LOFT - "

"LOFT#" now replaces:
INT.
ABIG... (choose from options)
" - "

That feeling when you finish a 48-page episode, run the Format Assistant and get 'No Errors'.

I used Final Draft’s Text to Speech Tool for the first time today. I had always known about the feature, but had never used it before. Extremely helpful. Especially in finding typos and misspelled words I missed.

Me: creates a character named Huck.
Autocorrect: you mean Yuck.
Me: Well that's better than the alternative I guess...
