What I'm seeing (and calculating as my way forward), are changes in concepts in good story-telling. Thank God, anything to relieve us that dumbed down shit. Remember, times have changed, there are no big publishers, or film studios, or TV networks. Just huge media companies. Naturally, they would like to sell the story in identical formats on every platform.

Enter a generation of novelists who have grown up in front of a television, and the results are natural bias to exposition through dialogue and action, POV alignment to cameras, and careful attention to their method of 'telling' narrative. Their 'vision' of what they're writing has the detachment of always being seen through a lens.

They will have written story to be viewed, as opposed to a work where narrative is used to get expose character's thoughts. Hence, there is no difference between the book, and the film, and damned on-line interactive video game.

Death to the screenwriters and novelists?
