Audra,
You're right, novelists and screenwriters have so much to share with each other In fact it used to be and still maybe, that novelists turned screenwriters were courted by Hollywood because they understood story and all that encompasses.

Pacing and finding ways to show not tell are but one screenwriting trick that novelists can embrace.

Thanks for joining us, A, a fellow scribe.

Thanks for sharing this 4 part interview with Marilyn. As you've said many times, Leslie, novelists can learn so much about pacing and timing from scripts.

Interesting too, how unique scripts go the way of unique novels. The publishing houses are asking for new concepts and ideas, then when you submit them, they don't know where to market them so they get rejects. Sheesh. Small press, like Indy films might just be the way to go.

Thanks for the interview, Leslie, and thank you Marilyn for sharing your insights!!
