Not sure if this will garner any interest, but due to some background in Screenwriting and keeping a close eye on television shows, I have begun to comment on GetGlue, the app is 'Tvtag' . My comments are on the Screenwriting, Producing, casting and acting on the episodes. (Not the regular one liner...

I believe screenwriters shouldn't just write screenplays, but other forms as well. I am writing a couple novels, have written a couple short screenplays, a few poems and as of today, finally, a short story. It's not that I'm not keen on short stories, but I've never been able to come up with anythin...

Tony, Amazon supressed the novel in print form allowing its sale through kindle. As for 180.000 words I will condense if necessary, next script will come straight from the brain, writing books is therapy slowing down my booze consumption.
I don't understand how Amazon suppressed a novel in print form. Adapting a novel is difficult, I've been paid to do it a few times. It's really much easier to start with an original script idea that was chosen because it works in visual media.

It must have come on around 700 pages, right? Amazon's POD machine maxes out at 480 pages (I think it's a financial limit, but it might be physical). I max out (reading) at about 400 pages.
Before they suppressed the novel I managed to buy twenty copies from Creataspace. 527 pages.. Shroud over Paradise 493 pages the Golden Malaita Eagle 420 pages hard copy. The latter could be a mini blockbuster.
I am fairly new to Screenwriting (and to Stage 32), though not to writing. I realize there is a long, hard road ahead, however, such was the case with writing and getting an agent and being published, so I am aware that the art-form of screenwriting must be studied first. I am currently looking for...

I'm right there with you! I'm currently dipping my toe into the water as well. I'm learning how to adapt my novels into screenplays. I've just been information gathering lately.
I totally agree Alle. Talent cannot be taught or learned. It is a quality that one has or does not have. That is why I am looking for the courses that concentrate on "format" and "terminology" etc. An...
