Q: I was wondering what a good way to introduce a character

I am writing a small story and I have part of the introduction done but I do not know a way to introduce this character There I was looking at my future. If I went through that door my whole life could change, but if i didn't i would be here with people who didn't understand me. That is what...

And done. Novel number three is finished.

It's tight because apparently Scrivener counts words differently. I had to scramble and write another hundred words to get it to validate. I have my count at 50,103.

@KitFox You must be glad it's over again :D

@MattЭллен Innit, though?

Matt Эллен

so you're going to edit this one into shape?

KitFox

I figured I could use the practice, if nothing else.

I have a short story to write for a contest first though.

Did I tell you about that? You might be interested in entering.

Matt Эллен

@KitFox I don't have any ideas at the moment.

@KitFox it's a really good one, so definitely worth the effort

@KitFox what's the subject?

KitFox

This is a theme one: toys in the attic. Horror story involving a child's plaything, and a setting in some sort of "attic".

Matt Эллен

Cool.

I'm looking for the link, but you can probably google it faster. It's Toasted Cheese, Dead of Winter 2014.

Matt Эллен

I look forward to reading yours

@KitFox I vaguely remember hearing about it. did you mention it before?

KitFox

I might have. I had three horror assignments this quarter.

The first was Marionette, for the Nose.

Then the NaNo novel, which turned out not too horrific.

Then this contest.

I think I might have talked about that back in October.

Matt Эллен

do you like how your nano turned out?

KitFox

Eh.

It's better than the first two.

I'm breaking it into scenes in Scrivener right now.

I can see some places that need things added or changed, maybe a scene or two to fill things out.

It evolved during the writing process, but less so than the others did.

Matt Эллен

Did you have a better idea of what you were going to write than the last two?

Q: Can one feasibly sell an adult-content screenplay?

So I may have a few fairly high-quality very-adult screenplays lying around and I was just wondering if there was any hope of my profitting off them in some way? Does anyone have any experience with this?
