I've been writing novels for 8 years now, and have over two million words under my belt... or I guess fingertips are more accurate. But after some deep soul searching and analyzing my own work, I think my strengths might be with scriptwriting instead. I'm excellent at character and dialogue, but that's about it. My expositions tend to be confusing because I skip around way too much. I'm hoping that screenplays will allow me to tell the stories that burn in my soul! But even if it doesn't I'll still write, I have to, I'd go insane if I wasn't writing.
I'm really excited to learn the art of scriptwriting and learn from y'all!

No "that's about it" in terms of being excellent at writing character & dialogue, that's a GREAT thing that you should be immensely proud of as a writer!
