⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ REVIEW

Just came across a reader review of Can’t Take It Back that made me cry happy tears because...they got it.

That’s the dream, right? To write something that settles in someone’s chest and stays there.

Feeling all the author feels. ❤️

I don’t think it will all fit in there.

I just registered for my first screenwriting class and am super stoked for it.

Except now I have to narrow down my list of story ideas to just one and I don't know how to do this.
