Hi. Today I’m going to just talk about how I’m turning my finances around, and I’m going to try to address this subject every now and then keep myself accountable to the extent that’s possible. In any rate I actually turned a profit the first month of this year for the first time in I can’t even remember how long. It’s been a while. Anyway I actually managed to make as of February 4th, $111.56, and that’s net income. That’s after expenses.

Hi, I’m gonna talk a little bit more about screenwriting and producing and their relationship.

A Parable of Increasing Relevance Today

03/31/2020 by Debbi

I found this film video adaptation of the bestselling book, Who Moved My Cheese? on one of my favorite screenwriting blogs. I read the book many years ago, and it’s a parable I particularly enjoy.

PS: My thanks to Screenwriting from Iowa for this! 🙂

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
