masterwriter review

I have two screenplay software programs on my laptop: Final Draft and MasterWriter. I don’t use MasterWriter until I have a draft where my story is in good shape. I’ll print up my screenplay and red-pen every description of action or bit of dialogue that’s too bland. Going back through with MasterWriter, I’m opened to a world of possibilities in an instant.

MasterWriter 2.0: Word Families

If the writer is looking for a different way to describe a hot sun, obvious choices might be blazing, blistering, fiery, or burning. Word Families will include all of those, but will take it to a more creative level by suggesting an angry sun, a punishing sun, a merciless or glaring sun. You will never get a phrase like “the angry sun had no mercy” from a Thesaurus. By way of another example, breathtaking or unforgettable, could be another way to say beautiful. Word Families is a unique reference dictionary that will introduce the creative writer to a new world of possibilities.
