Songwriter, Screenwriter, or Author? 

Hi All,

In order of preference, I'd like to be:

1. Songwriter.

2. Screenwriter.

3. Author.

However, after reading the book, it seems that I should reverse the order. I think I'm an AIE, which suits Author.

AEI, which is close to AIE, suits Screenwriter, but Songwriting (which I figure merges Arranger AEI, Lyricist ASE, and Musician ASI) means that S and E should be stronger.

I guess the first response is "close enough, good enough," but I'm really lousy at S and not good at the physicality of playing an instrument, which I guess would be R. I'm hoping that A and I will compensate because they make me so inventive so that I can come up with something new. I'm such an ungrounded sort of person that I need clear objective reasoning from others.

Any thoughts? Opinions from songwriters, screenwriters, or authors would be particularly helpful but I'll listen to anyone.

Martin.
