Suggestion for new templates

[SilverEyes]

Hello. While I am NOT by any means a computer literate person, I would love
to have someone design several templates for writers (as in fiction authors)
that I could use when creating novels. I would love to see a general writers'
checklist that may or may not include character questions and step-by-step
checklist for parts of novels or stories. I presume not many of the template
creators are authors so if someone needs to contact me for information that
would be great.
(Also, I'd love to see a SIMPLE script format for TV and movie creation. I
do not know how feasible this would be since, again, I am barely computer
literate.) A one page checklist for writers would be great as would a journal
type template would be wonderful too. Also checklists for art and supplies
would be nice. In general, I am seeking templates that lend themselves to
creative projects as well as office projects! Can anyone help?
Thanks,
SE

The mechanical specification for those things are often set up by the
printer/publishing house/etc. As for a checklist, did you search the web? It
seems someone may have already done that work............or then again,
since it's a highly competitve industry, maybe not.

Here's a script template, but you'll need to find a more skilled computer
user to help you modify it.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/scriptsmart/index.shtml (maybe overkill)

formats I've seen, but could be done pretty easily, I think, using Word
styles)

might be appropriate)
