Have you ever considered going into screenwriting?

[@juliettedemaso7588]

I see Charlie, I click like. It’s a given.

Same 👍

His words at the end are perfect. Why should a story be told as a movie, a game, or a novel? I often start one project for one medium and end up putting it into something else for this very reason. Speaking of which, I think I have to rewrite my novel into a screenplay. Thanks, Charlie.
