I've been a screenwriter for twenty-five years. Every one of my books have been optioned for movies and I have written a few of those screenplays. ↗

If I want to write a movie, I'll write a screenplay, but if I have an idea for a book, it's something that I think can only be done novelistically. ↗

Screenplays I didn't really care about, journalism, travel books, getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write. ↗
