Just to let you know, I am not intent on using the book......however....when it comes to a character that was introduced in the book, it seems pertinent to use it as the point of reference.

Insofar as the characters who did not appear in the novel and were simply invented for purposes of the movie (as long as they were not connected directly to an original)"makes no difference to me"....

Thanks for the welcome.


BTW.....The reason why I am so "intent" on this point....aside from the fact that I am a GF "freak".....when I took writing in school....I was taught to "follow the lines...stick to the story." It has served me well. I have written in the "industry" for over 25 years, both small and large.
