Extra Blog Post-February

It seems that novel-to-film adaptations, although always having been present in cinema, have recently seemed to significantly increase. I find myself constantly criticizing the adaptations I see, most often because I consider myself a fan of the book being adapted. However, it has occurred to me that since I have encountered many sources in which authors explain how they have adapted novels and I have taken notes on said techniques, I figure I might try writing an adaptation myself. I probably won't attempt something too grand, perhaps just a children's book I enjoyed when I was younger or something of that caliber. This exercise is to help me further my understanding of screenwriting.
