question: been working on an ideas and comprehensive notes for a fiction novel. it's the first time i've ever written anything of any massive length though, seems intimidating. i've got a load of scenes, characters, plots, ideas, etc all sketched out but haven't started writing it yet. i'm wondering if to switch it to a screenplay, or script for radio? or even a series of short stories. sounds kinda dumb but i'm stuck at the moment wondering which is the best route to go down, for a couple of reasons: time (radio thing would be done in a fraction of the time, plus my subject matter lends itself well to sound) and market forces (i understand a one off radio play is more likely to be picked up than a novel).
anyone else been in this position? sounds silly but is there some kind of checklist i can run through to help decide or is it a case of just picking one and going at it?
