    1. @zazie Well, you finished a first act.

      1. @northernnarwhal It's much easier to finish (not necessarily perfect, but finish) an episode script than an actual chapter of prose

        1. @zazie That's fair, but you're essentially still establishing context, characters, and thematic grounding and that still takes talent and hard work.

            1. @zazie This is true. If I may say I thought you did a pretty decent job though. Obviously it was far from perfect, but none of us are Tennessee Williams the first time we try to write a scene. I'm sure if you wrote more you could develop a really strong technique.
