Competing script editors. Ugh. :(

I've known for quite some time that my script, currently kept in Google Docs, wasn't exactly in the "official" screenplay format.  It never bothered me as I knew I would slam it into some screenplay editor at some point so I could ship it for review.  Well, that day as come, and it brings some bad news.

As I copied my dialog (it's a very dialog heavy script), into the screenplay editor Celtx, I started making edits along the way.  I didn't think anything of it as I was in sort of a groove.  Luckly, I caught myself as I was proof reading some of the new stuff and realized the mess I just created.  Two slightly different versions of the same script in two different files and two different formats.  And to think, as a professional in the software business who has dealt with version control software since day one out of college, I let this happen.  Very sad. 

So, here I sit, trying to figure out which tool to use.  On one hand, I have the slick screenplay-specific editor of Celtx that makes formatting an afterthought.  You just type, and it gets out of the way.  On the other hand, Google Docs gives you ultimate portibility.  I can read and update my script, in its ugly and unofficial format, from anywhere in the world (even on my iPhone).  Yuck. 

I hate points in a project like this that require you to make a decision that you know you will get wrong.  Not only do you know you will undoubtedly choose the wrong technology, but you know that you will spend countless hours trying to covert everything to the techonolgy you should have originally chosen.  Oh well, I'll sleep on it and see what happens...
