"The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision’s directive, which went into effect on May 11, establishes a stringent, months-long approval process for people in its custody to publish creative work, including books, art, music, poetry, film scripts, and other writing. It gives prison superintendents the power to block work from publication if it violates any of a number of broad rules — including bans on mentioning the artist or author’s crime and portraying DOCCS in a way that could 'jeopardize safety or security.' And it stipulates that incarcerated people can’t be paid for their creative work without permission."

Yesterday I transferred all my #filmscripts from #Celtx to #KitScenarist. So good to be using software again and not a browser-based service that needs a constant net connection. No longer do I have to stop writing when the train goes through a tunnel.
