So, there's my question. As a screenwriter, what is it about a screenplay that gets your attention? I write some horror genre but my main passion is sci-fi. I've entered competitions and did fairly well but nothing beyond a good job and congrats. It does help pad my resume a bit so that's good to have.

That is a very good question. For me, what attracts me to certain roles is if the role will challenge me and in someway scare me. I am always wanting to face my fears.
Do you look at the dialog and wonder if it makes sense? I've been told that my characters have to have their own voice. I drive a school bus so I hear a lot of different voices.
Thomas -- without reading your comment my first instinct was that I like to hear the character's voice. Not necessarily in the literal sense as if they're "speaking", although that might be true, but more in the sense that I understand the character's POV about the circumstances.
I understand. Sometimes it's not was is said but what remains hidden in their voice or action. At least I think that's the point.
