the underground
For 27 years I've worked as a copywriter. Despite that, I retain a youthful appearance and remain mostly sane.
I'm a copywriter, but the Underground isn't focused solely on copywriting; it's a reflection of one writer's interest in other writers (and writer's tools, text editors, creativity - and everything else that bubbles up).
Enjoy.

- @focusfactory Celtx is good, FadeInPro is also pretty good for feature/TV screenplays (not AV/Documentary format). Good luck.
