Created
by Jeffrey Alan Schechter, THE TOTALLYWRITE DEVELOPMENT SUITE streamlines the story development process from the first glimmer of an idea to a
professionally
structured, bulletproof outline. And as William Goldman
says in his book ADVENTURES IN THE SCREEN TRADE, "Screenplays are
structure."
No
confusing jargon to learn, this four-module program is simple,
powerful, and above all, TRULY USEFUL!
"I
purchased your software shortly after using the 30-day trial. I am quite impressed with what you have created! I now have a
place to store my ideas, track progress and of course, write
scripts. I am also quite impressed with the Development Paradigm.
Now that I have a structure to follow, the problem now is finding
the time to write all of my ideas. This software is phenomenal! Thank you!

With the TotallyWrite Development Suite Version 3 as your writing partner you will be able to:
- Answer the 4 simple questions that shape EVERY screenplay in the top 50;
- Develop the single-sentence logline that LAYS OUT YOUR ENTIRE SCRIPT like a roadmap;
- Identify the 4 archetypes every protagonist moves through LIKE CLOCKWORK from "fade in" to "fade out;"
- Lay out the 12 foundation beats of ACT ONE;
- Discover a system of breaking down ACT TWO that is so ruthlessly easy you will never get stuck on page 55 again;
- Craft the 4 final beats of ACT THREE that readers and audiences expect and that define your script as MARKETABLE and PROFESSIONAL.
Much more
than an outliner and not just another story development tool, the four modules of THE
TOTALLYWRITE DEVELOPMENT SUITE function as a central desktop repository
for your ideas and projects, from inspiration to execution.
MODULE #1 - THE DEVELOPMENT
PARADIGM:
The heart and soul of the THE TOTALLYWRITE
DEVELOPMENT SUITE, this
detailed tool takes the guesswork out of structuring your idea.
Providing you with a simple, fill-in-the-blanks form, you can easily
take a story from concept to full beat sheet, graphically displayed so
you can get a full sense of how your story flows.
Once you have the form completely
filled in, you can then open the WORLDVIEW
FORM to give you a road map of on what pages key beats should
fall out in your script. Refer back to this form while you write
to monitor whether you’re writing too long or too short. It's
absolutely indispensable!
Also included in the TotallyWrite
Development Paradigm is the Four Questions/Four Archetypes/Formula form.
The what?! This simple form is the simplest,
strongest tool you'll ever have to guarantee a
character-driven story that can "go the distance."
MODULE #2 - THE IDEA
SHOEBOX:
A place for ideas,
substantially neater than keeping them in a shoebox.
Store loglines and ideas categorized based on the source, type of idea and logline
itself. Have
you told it to anyone? What
was the feedback? Open up
the IDEA SHOEBOX module and keep a detailed record of every idea
that pops into your head.
MODULE #3 -
THE PROJECT
TRACKER:
Every project has a life-cycle. When did
you develop it? When did you pitch it? What was the result
of the pitch? Who did you send a copy of the script to? On
what date? Click on
the PROJECT TRACKER module and never forget another important fact or
date about a project. A simple to use utility to
help you keep track of your script's progress from development
to sale. Well...hopefully to sale.
MODULE #4 - THE RANDOM THOUGHTS CATALOG:
Have
you even had an idea for a snippet of dialog, an interesting location,
thrilling action beat, scene concept, or even just a title or joke that
got lost because you didn’t write it down and store it somewhere safe?
Use the RANDOM THOUGHTS module and never lose another idea.
No other structure program
combines such ease of use, thoroughness, and value.
"The
first thing I wrote using the TotallyWrite Development Suite
has netted me TONS of calls from celebrities saying they
wanted to make the film, as well as a lot of attention from
agencies and studios. Also, after writing 17
screenplays, I've finally gotten representation!
I have
read everything out there, and though I’ve never been a
writing guru follower I have to say that this thing works.
What I love about the TotallyWrite Development Suite is that
I can still be as creative and "out of the box" as I want to
be, but if I follow the program my script ends up woven into
a beautiful arc without me having to constantly obsess about
whether the main character is growing and if every situation
is building.
I am cranking the work out now as well. I can move so
much faster and work on multiple projects at once, something
I could never do before. I love the TotallyWrite
Development Suite."
