Flip open any computer book and you’ll typically see a thick tome crammed with information about every possible feature of a program in exhaustive detail. Such comprehensive detail makes most computer books about as exciting to read as a dictionary. Nobody really wants to learn how to use any particular program. What people really want to learn is how to get specific results from using a particular program.Chances are good that your goal in life isn’t to learn how to use Final Draft 9. Instead, you probably really want to learn how to write the best screenplay possible with the least amount of hassle. To achieve that goal, you want to use Final Draft 9 as a tool to achieve your dream of writing a screenplay that you can sell. That’s why this book won’t teach you how to become a Final Draft 9 expert.

Having a great screenwriting program like Final Draft 9 is fine, but if you don’t know what to write, then you won’t be able to take advantage of Final Draft 9’s writing, formatting, and editing features.Although Final Draft works as an excellent screenplay formatting word processor, that’s actually the last feature you want to use. Where most people go wrong is that they focus first on writing their screenplay without knowing what to write or taking time to organize their ideas before they write. Think of screenwriting like planning a vacation. You could just show up at the airport and hop on any plane, but chances are good it won’t take you where you want to go.
