Ever heard of a good book? Well, I have. Lady Alice is a good writer. I enjoy her work.
I want it to be a TV show or a movie.
I also have a podcast.
Do you want to turn your book into a show/movie and podcast yourself or hire writers to, Toshia Poundstone?
Yes, a show, if not that, then a movie. I can rebrand my podcast once I get up and running

I just finished "The Adventures of Maya the Bee" by Waldemar Bonsels.
It was... interesting… shall we say. I had seen reruns of the kids' cartoon in elementary school but that was a toned down version...

Michael Dzurak, funny that you should mention Maya. That character is still very popular here in Germany. Of course, the version popular here now is the modern cartoon version where nothing really bad...

It is consistently captivating to peruse accounts of one’s personal life trajectory..
Sylvia Jacobs, I agree. Just that my life story is so bizarre that it would probably be tossed into the fiction section.
I wouldn’t put it in the fiction section.
Sylvia Jacobs, you might be the only one.
I disagree.

Thank you for sharing this! I think this book could be helpful to so many of us and I will definitely be checking it out.
I’m so glad to hear that.
I just started reading this and love it already. It put words to what I do (for myself and others). It's something most don't do enough of. Has anyone else read this yet? I'm always late to the party haha.
I'm even later to the party, Kat Spencer. I haven't read this book yet. Haha I just added it to my read list. Thanks.

Hey everyone! I’m Sydney from the Stage 32 Education team, and I’m on the lookout for my next summer read! I’m in the mood for something light and fun—maybe a rom-com, a little art and history, or a story set on a beautiful beach or destination. Not too scary, just something to relax with. Any recommendations?
Mindy Kaling's book, IS EVERYONE HANGING OUT WITHOUT ME . Very funny.
I loved the Wedding People by Alison Espach!
Not sure if it's your thing but I really enjoyed the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy. Very light and full of different destinations, and just fun reads.
Just handed this book by my best friend's daughter Darcy.
Reading the first chapter WOW good stuff!
Can't wait to see how it will inspire me further on my screenplay in action!! Thanks Darcy!
Got round to reading this. If you haven’t got your hands on it before I highly recommend.
My favorite book. I give it as a gift.
