In terms of writing screenplays I use Final Draft 8 or Screenwriter 6. Screenwriter 6 is much more intuitive, but FD has a full fledge version that I can use via my iPad. I have Storyist on Ipad, and I like it, but as Apple hasn't released a version that is compatible with PC, it makes things a bit harder for me to use the program, as I can't start one place and finish on another. I use Word quite a bit as I can start writing on my home PC and then switch to my Notebook for protable writing. I made a huge mistake in purchasing a rather expensive writing enhancement for Word, namely Recipes for Word. It's like the ultimate writers template, but the whole program is unintiutive and it cost $150 dollars!
It also causes a lot of macro errors in word.
Thanks to Amanda I purchased a much more reasonable Scriverner that I could download and use on both of my machines. Now if only they would create an Ipad version, then I'd be set.
In none writing, but just as creative, I purchased an Intuos 5 Wacom digital tablet and downloaded Sketchbook Pro 6. I already use Adobe Photoshop CS6, but I am really liking the simplicity of Sketchbook Pro 6. It's nice to be able to draw directly to the screen without having to scan anything. I can create storyboards to use with Scriverner if I want to import a screenplay project.
I'm happy.
