When the wonderful day comes that I can submit work to an Agent or Producer, will it look strange that I'm specializing in comedy and horror. Strangely I seem to be just as good at both of those(how good they are is another story, just I seem to have about equal skill). It's sorta an antithesis, like specialzing in old western movies and modern urban dramas.

You might consider a pen name at some point. Nora Roberts and JD Robb, Anne Rice and RN Rouquillere, and a few others...Some writers find it's better to use a different name for genres that are so varied as yours!

I like to spark emotion in stories. I like horror and certain comedies because they spark emotions to the extremes. I enjoy drama's I actually had 3 very basic ideas that i was thinking of doing in the future, but thank good I never wrote any, I just learned there is ZERO spec markt for a regular plain drama. Drama's are reserved for hollwood writers and independants who create their own stuff.

Horror is certainly a way to spark emotion! You need two persona's though.

Interesting you say that because I noticed alot of hollowood films have comedy or people in happy moods as icers between the horror. That's probably whyI have no problem strugglingwith the happy and bad switching because I can do comedy already and the horror is easy to do if your creative.
