Spoiler alert! I 've changed my mind on all of this. I'm still going to write both drama and comedy because I can do both and so I am going to do both. People may disagree with that and say pick one or the other but, no. I'm going to do both anyway, so there's no point in changing anything now.
But please do continue on reading this post because it's heartwarming and such.

After a bunch of years, because I don't really actually remember when I decided to be a screenwriter off hand, I've decided to 100% call myself a comedy writer. I am no longer straddling the line and saying I write both comedy and drama and will instead focus on comedy.
Please clap.
I figured the time had come for me to finally toughen up and make a firm decision on whether or not I was a comedy or drama writer.
I always said both. Both felt good.
Felt like more job security potential. Felt more multi-talented.
I even asked industry execs I met if they felt dramedy was really a thing (most said no and to pick a side). I still really couldn't decide for sure even though the answer was deadass in my face and the way the words flowed when I wrote them.
I started writing drama because I followed the advice of "write the things you like/watch the most of (re: tv genres)" and at the time, I was always watching hour long dramas so I was like "cool! drama it is!". And as much as I love to watch a good drama, I always found myself struggling a bit to write them. The ideas were there. The execution? Ehh...
I love being funny. The words flow better when I allow myself to be funny and quirky as hell. Serious drama felt...different. Last year I wrote my first thirty minute comedy and I seriously enjoyed every minute of it. When I was done, I was legit sad about it, that's how much fun I had with it. I loved that feeling for me.
I can do drama, but I love the funny. I'm so much better when I can 100% lean into the funny without feeling like I'm searching for it.
Funnily enough, I decided to commit to being a comedy writer while in the middle of writing a drama script. I'm going to keep working on it and keep it but I think that'll be my last drama script. I really love the story for this particular script (it's about a madam in 1890's New Orleans. She's dope af but of course she is cause I'm writing her) so I'm going to finish it out. But after that? MORE COMEDY!!!!
I'm very excited for myself.
Experienced staff is crucial for a successful metal fabrication project. Ask potential companions concerning the size of their staff and what expertise they've within the area. Some industries have precision machining niche-specific necessities, like metal fabricated spa furniture or custom components for lighting or machinery. Punch presses have specifically designed turrets that hit the metal by way of a die to provide holes in specific areas. Turning uses a lathe to rotate metal at a velocity that enables cutting instruments to take away the metal in a circular style. A CNC machine is the most typical software used for turning and sometimes entails precise measurements.
