Writing: the silver screen dream
Raise your hand if you’ve never dreamt about your story (whether finished or in-progress) becoming a movie. Some keep it forever, some abandon it sooner or later. In today’s post, I’ll share my thoughts on this dream.

So, the September update comes with a few days of delay caused by a grouping-up of posts of which some got a higher priority. Anyway, there’s progress, so let’s get into it.
