However I just recently read the book "Addie Pray". The 1970's movie "Paper Moon" was based on this book, and after the movie became such a big hit the book was re-released under the name "Paper Moon".
Anyway the best part of the book was the second half. The movie is just based on about the first half. So I am thinking that I will try to write a screenplay based on the second half of the book.
Just really hard to make myself sit down and get started on it.
Start with this; "There once was a man from Nantucket..."
"The measure of a man's intelligence can be seen in the length of his argument."
