I was unaware that you were writing a novel cynan! maybe you could give us some ideas to how writing a novel and writing a screenplay are different and how they are the same... I have been thinking about writing for a long time.. and I started a screenplay as opposed to a novel because I figured it would be easier............

Haha, yes, it is definetely easier to whip out a few pages of screenplay than book, for sure.

How are they different? With a novel you're trying to draw it out, be descriptive, take a long time to say things... that's beautiful... with screenplays you're forsaking almost all aspects of descriptiveness, in a book way.

How are they the same? You need a wonderful imagination for both.

I had figured as much... I tried writing a novel last year, but I only got 2 chapters in.... didn't have enough time or ideas I guess...
