INT. DINER — NIGHT
Rain hammers the windows. MAYA, 30s, stares at her cold coffee. The bell over the door rings.
MAYA
(quietly)
You weren't supposed to come back.
The structure
Introduce your world, your hero, and the spark that lights the fuse.
Raise the stakes. Test your hero. Make the obstacles personal.
Pay it off. Land the climax and let the dust settle with intent.
The studio
Scriptline reads your story as you write — measuring pace, spotting missing beats, and lighting the page with the color of the act you're in.
The margins of the editor glow with your current act color, so you always feel the structure.
Inline prompts at the inciting incident, midpoint, and climax — only when you need them.
Drag and drop scene cards across acts. The timeline recolors live as you reorder.
Final-Draft-grade pagination, dual dialogue, MOREs and CONT'Ds — all automatic.
The plans
Start where your story is. Upgrade when the stakes rise.
