Is it harder to write a novel or a screenplay?

    I know there are many movies made after novels and many novels that are inspired by movies. But which of the two is it harder to write? The novel or the screenplay?

    Personally, I've never wrote a novel, but I'm sure writing a novel and screenwriting can be challenging, depending on how you look at it. In both mediums, structure is important. So I guess to keep things simple, screenwriting is easier than writing a novel.
