I don't think that there's one "higher" form of writing, or of art in general. Novels, plays, poetry, photography, sculpture, painting-- the list goes on and on. Each one is just a different expression of a person's creativity.

For some people, writing a play is easier. These people write terrific dialogue but don't do as well with description and prose. I'm the opposite.

Writing novels is a lot less visual than writing plays or screenplays. It depends solely on the written word. Having said that, neither is a higher form of art. They are equal.

Now if you want to know income level.....
Screenplays pay the best
Plays pay next best
Novels pay least unless you have a best seller.

Don't consider this analytical but no form of art has been enjoyed more than another art ever,
i consider the novel writing to be on the writers part much more incumbant of their talents and writing plays is a lot of hard work.
you need research to convey the story in a shorter amount of time and having that added pressure of setting scene on stage...
definitely stick to the novel and short stories i think i will for the moment...

Art is art. Who is a better artist, Van Gogh or Renoir? Isn't it a matter of taste? You might say novelists have it harder because not only do they have to deal with dialogue (as the playwrite does), but also narrative. But the playwrite also has to deal with stage settings, so it's your call.
