I wasnt having a go at you man, just a bit of fun :)

R/Fitness and the community in that sub is for you, soldier.

Congratulations on your writing success - I'm currently writing a science fiction novel that should be finished around Xmas. Any advice on (self?) publishing, publicising your work and so on?

Thanks in advance.

Screenplays are difficult to write, it's all structure and the story needs to fit around that structure, it's also hard to "show not tell" and create the drama you want with just visual cues and dialogue rather than a paragraph or two of prose. It took 3 years to give birth to my screenplay, working around a full time job and a family but it's finished.

In some ways prose is easier I think but I'm conscious of the discipline that still exists around the storyline and trimming out any superfluous sections. I think I might be able to source a copywriter or two who may be interested in the editing work - that bit is great advice for sure.

Self-publishing seems like a good option to me...

Thanks again for your kind words.
