Scrippets Now Installed
INT. EARL NEWTON’S LUXURIOUS ONE-BEDROOM FLAT
The single light from a MacBook Pro casts noirish shadows along the wall, opposite an expansive view of the diamond-encrusted city.
EARL NEWTON, a large man, handsome, with sharp lines on his face and a high widow’s peak, clicks-and-drags on the Mac. His eyeline is solid, confident. Focused.

Technology. When my parents grew up, a calculator weighed ten pounds and cost a thousand dollars. Now you get one free with a box of Fruity Pebbles. Now I shuffle digital bits around the world like a Vegas dealer and bemoan the lag as ten times the information in the Library at Alexandria dribbles into my system in the form of a high-definition copy of “Zombie Strippers.”
Newton clicks again.
CUT TO:
THE SCREEN
as it displays “SCRIPPETS PLUG-IN ACTIVATED”. Newton SMILES, sharp shadows carved into a blue-lit face.

It’s good to be the king.
The WP-Scrippets plugin has now been installed. Now I (and you, in the comments section) can write pieces of script, in proper formatting, directly on the website. Read here for instructions on how to use it.
This plug-in is the result of a collaboration between John August and Nima Yousefi.
UPDATE:
This plug-in works, but isn’t quite perfect yet on the iPhone. I’ll fiddle with it later, when I don’t have scripts due. Like, in August.
