I’ve got a new writing assignment. I’m about to adapt a novel into a movie script.
The book is written by Pär Bjelvehammar, a Swedish writer, and it’s published by a small company. It’s a story about a murder.
I’ve no time limit on this assignment. There are no others than me and the writer of the book involved in the project so far, and since I haven’t done any adaption yet, I cannot estimate what time it will take.
The story sounded interesting, but I haven’t finished the book yet.
Maybe I won’t like it.
I considered this before I took on the project, and I don’t think it will matter much. Maybe it’s even better, because I might see the flaws easier? I believe this will be a challenge which will bring me new experiences.

I'm very happy you have another writing assignment and adapting a novel!
Yolanda, thank you for your kind words. Keep up the good work with your blogs.
Robert, thank you.
I received an email from a reader the other day asking just this question. With a book recently published, my correspondent wanted to know about turning the book into a movie or finding a screenwriter who could turn it into a screenplay.
