**Should I be a Novel Writer or a Screenwriter?** This question is intended for the beginning writer, who is unsure if he should start with writing physical books, or with writing scripts for movie directors/producers.

So instead, I was wondering if someone could provide me with a comprehensible list of the pros and cons of fictional novel writing versus screenwriting.
