Really cool Mark, and I’m looking forward to seeing the screenplay. Seeing? Well, reading maybe. I had just read that New Yorker article the other day too, it’s a nice match for what you’re doing.

That Rothman article is nicely done. I might pick up one of Temple Grandin's books, too. I'm about a quarter through my first draft. Actually I'm in long enough to have departed Heidegger territory. I have other threads, too....

Gosh, Mark, I've learned so much from reading this post. The project sounds brilliant, and I'm looking forward to updates! Really interesting to read about the screenwriting software - those analysis tools are amazing. 😃

Highland 2 is a pretty nice little package. It's quite simple, which is a real treat. Also, the free version has I think about 5 or 6 manuscript formats, including novel, TV screenplay, etc. The paid version has over a dozen. So, it's not only for screenplays. If you've got a Mac, it's worth taking a look at the free version.
