Just a little while ago I decided to really venture into the world of screenwriting. It's been about as productive as my usual writing these days in that I'm frequently distracted and spread too thin, but when I do get the chance to work on it, it's rather fun. Sometimes I find that it's much easier for me to fill up pages of screenplay than it is for me to fill up pages of novel, and sometimes it's vice versa.I assume that any of you who watched 30 Rock are quite familiar with the EGOT, which is to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. The two groups of people for whom it is easiest to EGOT are composers and writers. Think about it: you can write a TV show, you can write a song, you can write a movie, and you can write a play or a musical. Since I'm about as good at songwriting as I am at any of that ridiculous duct tape art, I'm going for another goal instead: the ePot. You substitute a Pulitzer for a Grammy, and it's capitalized that way because it's so much more fun. It's also more fun to say.
For those of you who think screenwriting might be fun but haven't a clue how the proper formatting is supposed to go and don't have $200 to spend on software that does it for you, the basics are at http://www.screenwriting.info/
