Hi, I'm Ayal Pinkus and I'm from the Netherlands. My goal is actually to create graphic novels. I'm trying to learn how to tell stories, visually. Cinema does an excellent job of that and so I have been writing short screenplays for the last half year or so (entering contests at MoviePoet) in order to learn.

Thank you for maintaining your blog! It is a pleasure to visit it every day and it is one of the wonderful resources that help me become a better storyteller.
Best wishes,
Ayal

Greetings, Ayal, nice to meet you! Interestingly there are a lot of writers into graphic novels who frequent this blog. Visual writing is key to both screenwriting and graphic novels. A few GITS posts about graphic novels: here, here, and here. Good luck and stay in touch!

Hi Scott, thank you for pointing me to these blog entries! The replies sections are real treasure troves! I see I'm not the first one to notice the similarities between movie and graphic novel :-) I'll try to add my own two pence, I think I can think of some differences others haven't mentioned yet.

Thank you! And an honor to correspond with you.

My name is Ines Häufler, I am living in Vienna, Austria. I am working as a freelance script consultant for tv movies and feature films. You can check out my website here: http://en.scriptalicious.at/
I also run a weblog on that site, but I have to admit that I am neglecting it a bit since I am working on some non-film related creative side projects (check it out here: http://www.daswohnzimmer.net).
Thanks for the great work on your blog, it is on top of my daily reads on my screenwriting webroll!

@Ines: Greetings and thanks for your information. I'll add your website to my Friends list. Best of luck with your writing and consulting.

Thanks, Scott!
