Kudos to @psmarshall of Creative Monkeys on running his Vienna-based Celtx seminar!
I love those final moments of a Spelling Bee. Watch 13-year-old Arvind Mahankali stifle his smile as it dawns on him, “Knaidel. I’ve got this.” Then cut to the proud little brother who can’t contain his excitement, the beaming parents, and finally, the winner, frozen in immortality.
Arvind goes to M.S. 74 in Bayside. Go Queens!!
*This* is what we should celebrate.
Passive/Voice: On Fan-Fiction & Why I Hate It
Someone asked a question this morning on my thoughts concerning “Fan-Fiction.” This was my response:
As far as “Fan-fiction” goes, I absolutely hate the term. I think it’s damning to a writer to label themselves as a writer of fan-fiction because often times it undermines the work, which…
Pay the Writer! Great, short rant by Harlan Ellison. (But hey, it’s Ellison — there’s some NSFW language. Earmuffs.)

Ask Celtx & Expert Exchange!
Hi Everyone!
Late last night we added two new features to the Celtx Cloud.
1. Edge Script Editor Notes – we added support for embedded coloured Notes in the Edge editor (you’ll see a new icon in the toolbar for adding a new Note). Notes sync across all platforms – Desktop, Cloud and Mobile – so for example, Notes added to a script from Celtx Script for iOS and Android or Script for Mac OSX will show up in your Edge editor and vice versa.
2. Ask Celtx – accessed from the Tiles Page (the one you see after logging in), Ask Celtx is a Q&A style forum. You can use Ask Celtx for support or to canvass the Celtx Community for information and advice or to answer questions from other users. Ask Celtx is public, meaning anyone can review questions and answers, but you need a Celtx Account to ask a question (no need to have an active subscription, just an account). Give it a whirl when you can. [The plan is for Ask Celtx to replace the Celtx Forums as the latter has become almost unusable due to the sPaM bots wreaking havoc.]
Hope this is good! Mark, CEO for Team Celtx.

¿Tiene el corrector ortográfico españoles instalados en el software de escritorio? Si no, usted puede instalarlo iniciando sesión en su cuenta en celtx.com y haciendo clic en la ficha Desktop.
Desplácese hasta la parte inferior de la página y agarrar el diccionario de corrección ortográfica en español.
Anonymous asked: I'm working on a musical and I just purchased and installed Celtx. I'm liking what I see thus far. The question I have is how do I best create a timeline? I've been looking around for a way to do basic things like this, and I'm just not seeing it. Got a link and/or some info for a Celtx newb? THANKS!
Hmm. This depends on what kind of timeline you mean, but it sounds like you’ve got some creative repurposing ahead of you!
Can you please post your question to ask.celtx.com? I’d love to hear what the community suggests.
Anonymous asked: I have and use Celtx Plus and try to save on my Workspace (basic), and it saves... but only one paragraph, i.e. about 200 words, of my more than 100 pages script... is there anything I did non understand?
Can you please e-mail me billing@celtx.com. This is troubling and the more information I have about your particular workflow, the better I’ll be able to help.
Anonymous asked: I'm using Celtz A/V, but when I put it in PDF format, it leaves a usually leaves a large blank area at the bottom of the page, so I'm wasting a lot of paper when I print it off. Is there any way to get Celtx to continue all the way to the bottom of the page and continue on the next?
After you run it through Typeset, click the Save PDF button rather than print it from the Typeset return.
Anonymous asked: Why do I need to be connected to the internet in order to make PDF? I have some copyright doubts about it... I don't know where and why do my scipt travel to before I can watch it well formatted and it makes me nervous.
Your script is not retained on the server. It goes through Typeset, our formatting engine, and is returned adhering to industry conventions for you to click the Save PDF button.
iwanttobelikearollingstone asked: I have Celtx basic, but is there any way I can still export the script to a PDF?
To export a script as a PDF without upgrading your account to Edge, you’ll need to open the script with the desktop software by clicking File > Open from Celtx.
Then just click Typeset/PDF and Save PDF.
Anonymous asked: Celtx Manual, Where thanks, from Mexico
We do not currently have a manual. If you log into your cloud account at celtx.com and click the Guides tile, you can have a look at the resources available for you, many of which are free.
joestanton asked: Is there a way to download a celtx file from the browser tool?
Hi Joe! If you have a script inside your cloud account that you want to download, all you need to do is first make sure you have the latest version 2.9.7 of the desktop software.
(This can be grabbed from the Desktop tile in your cloud account, if you need to update.)
Once it’s installed, launch the software and click Open from Celtx. Enter your cloud account credentials and you will be able to open the script and save it to your local hard drive.
