Writers Write....
We are not a limited one trick-pony species - we can do a bunch of things & will wither away only when we go to the 'one' thing.
Check out the clip beneath. It was written by a wonderful writer who was an astonishing cinematographer & could also direct. The director was a writer & an actor & did Voice-over for animated characters - a writer also does a bunch of other things. This is, as discussed with Jay Paul Apodaca (the Denver Artist) the age of the OminArtist.

There's a myth about the writer: She's supposed to...scratch out the words & leave it up to the experts. Well... we're now the experts.
We gather around exactly the lights we carry, and we embrace the shadows we create.

Not guided only by the director, executive, or the distributor.
It's the full production - before, during & after & all at once. This is an art-form & an absolutely pragmatic group activity.

This is the age of the OmniArtist. We do it all. Inspired by
Dorothea Tanning (1910 – 2012) the Activist, Painter & in her older
