I've certainly been guilty of this oversight, having written two columns about mobile applications and practices for aspiring/established novelists. We pay a lot of attention to fiction writers here at LitReactor, with a few nods here and there to comic authors and playwrights, but we rarely discuss the art of screenwriting.
