How can someone go from freelance/ possible novel writer to a screen writer after a career in ghost writing?

I know it's possible, but all of those people hate that would do that for me and some of the rich people in town and from high school whom are jealous of my life back then, any ideas or suggestions, because I am done having that lying boy group, their literally worse than their competiton,and their possibly dangerous webmaster running my life with bad contracts, what are your ideas, anyone, please.

Answer 1

Step one, pick which direction you want to follow. Each discipline may take years, and the skills that allow you to write marketable novels are not identical to those that allow you to write marketable screenplays. Step two, forget about other people. Don't let this decision be about anybody but yourself and what you want. Step three, go back to the basics. You need to reintroduce yourself to producing text that's pretty much error-free. I'm not saying this to insult or embarrass you, but your question here is all but illiterate. Novelists need first-rate skills, screenwriters nearly as good, in terms of basic writing mechanics. Step four, BIC. That's butt in chair. Whether you feel like it or not, write every day for a set amount of time, or sit at your writing place and do nothing at all. No texting, no computer games, no music. The only options are write and don't write. Every single day, no exceptions, not for illness or travel or anything else. Discipline matters. Step five, take classes, ideally in person but online if you have no other options. Take fiction writing classes in particular, but any writing class can help you improve. Step six, seek qualified critique when you have written something and gone over it and over it until you don't believe it can be improved. You'll be wrong (I always am!), and fresh eyes will help. Step seven, take the plunge. Research a likely market for what you've written and submit it according to their guidelines.
