The fact that you try to write across media platforms is a great idea -- testing all the waters with your script/story.<br /><br />Good luck and keep me posted.<br /><br />JanetJanet https://www.blogger.com/profile/00974801050798545725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17809015.post-85981642170029680522009-07-11T19:17:23.784-04:002009-07-11T19:17:23.784-04:00I write full time, four or five hours a day on ave...I write full time, four or five hours a day on average but force myself to take Sunday off. Is it really work when you do what you love?<br /><br />I focus on screenplays these days for two reasons, a) I've had two optioned and b) they are only 90 to 120 pages long. This means they are faster to write than a 200 plus page novel. <br /><br />Once I finish the screenplay and edit it/rewrite it a few times, I copy it and paste it into a word processing file and add detail until I have over 200 pages and a completed novel. Then I have diversified one piece of material into two separate markets giving me a better chance at selling both versions.<br /><br />If my material warrants a comic version, I have also written in that script format and sold into that market as well. <br /><br />I recommend any book by Linda Segar but my favorite of hers is 'How to Make a Good Script Great!'<br />Check out my website http://www.Playdigm.com for insight into entertainment licensing and branding.<br /><br />Respectfully,<br />Sandford TueyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853419032719339518noreply@blogger.com
