In fact, I think that the only reason I'm not writing screenplays is because there's not any viable market (unless you have filmmaker friends) if they don't sell to production companies. The reason I say this is because, since I started writing again, I've noticed that I'm writing a lot more dialogue than you'd read in a typical piece. I'm not really sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing yet, but the more I look at all the stuff I've written over the years, the more it seems like screenplays would be a more natural medium for my writing. Maybe I'm wrong in my assessment of what the market is like for writing screenplays. Anyone tried before? Also, I generally avoid blog posts or articles about basic writing tips, but The Book Deal has one up right now that's so bang-on, I couldn't help but share it. Also, I completely echo Jessica's statements on giving form rejection letters. The only time I don't send out a form rejection is if something is quite good, but seems to be missing one little ingredient. Lastly, be on the lookout for Fusion Fragment #8, which should go live the second week of February! Cavan blogged at 4:04 PM | 0 comments	Progress Zilch! 0/0 Listening A.J.
