Well, I'm floored. Time Travel. Never had a clue. That certainly didn't show up in my tiny man-brain for stuff...
Please write some more shorts. They are easier to sell and help you get better.
Here's the truth about screenwriting.
Writing a story is an orgy of words. You start with a few more, they have sex and suddenly, you have a story. But, screenwriting is a duel of words. Each word has to justify its purpose on the page.
Anyone can write a 400-page novel. No one can write a 300-page screenplay. Hell, I don't think anyone can write a 250 or even a 200-page screenplay and have any realistic hopes in it getting sold.
So, shorts helps you look for things like word usage, orphans, and planning, all of which go into writing a feature.
I know I've become a better writer since I started doing these OWC. Many of the other peeps that are regulars feel the same way.
And the greatest compliment that I've really gotten is that everyone knew the first 2 OWC that I entered. But, no one guessed the last 2 that I entered. That's awesome. To be able to delve into other ideas and genres is the best thing we can do as screenwriters.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!

End rant.

lol. not really a rant. But, I will most likely work on some more, even if no one reads them. I got some brevity issues I need to work on if I'm being honest.
