Hi, everyone.
I know that I want to go into writing for film/TV but I'm having a difficult time choosing one path to focus on.
I've always been passionate about animation (both TV and film), and I like what I've heard about how the process works (freelancing for several TV shows, possibly becoming a staff writer on one, et cetera).
However, I'm also a TV junkie and someone that likes to be involved in all creative aspects of a production that I possibly can be. I like the idea of being part of a team, having certain days when I can work independently on my script but also having other days when I'm contributing to the scripts of others and having their ideas on mine as well.
Finally, I have many pages of ideas for feature screenplays just waiting to be written. I know I'll write at least one of these as a spec.
Does a writer in Hollywood have to concentrate their efforts on one specific subset in the industry? If so, I'd love to know more of the differences between careers in each of these types of writing so I can better understand which to focus on.
Thanks in advance for any advice and info!
