Anyway, back to True or False? I started a new thread for it on the forums of Jal's official website (www.jaltheband.com), got some comments, and a poll. In terms of the poll, 75% voted that they would definitely read it (some even posted saying they'd buy it the first day it released no matter what), 18.18% said maybe, depending on the plot and how well-written it is, and since I haven't disclosed the whole plot yet, the maybe makes sense, although I have full confidence in my writing style, and 6.82% said they don't think they'd read it - most of those posted saying that they're just not readers. Which brings us to the film adaption. Well, either that, or me catching a plane to Lahore and following the guys around with a video camera while I documented their daily lives... For those 6.82%, they said they'd watch the movie, without a doubt. I can imagine it, although Saamiya would be tough to cast. I'd willingly volunteer for the role - I've got the right height and Pathan accent to make it work, at least.

True or False?
I don't think I'm the only author - even of the ones who haven't been published yet - who wonder what it would be like if a one of her novels were adapted into a feature film. Right now, the one I'm thinking about is True or False? even though I've still got about a third of the manuscript to write, and then about a month of editing after that. I'm hoping to be completely done by April - let's hope it works out. That way, I can spend April, May, and June finishing the second half of Sea of Benevolence and then work on the fourth and last installment of the shape-shifter series in the summer. Then next year, my senior year of high school, I want to spend on that vampire novel and another that I've had the idea for since this past summer. Yes, I know, I plan out when I'm going to write each book, but it's a time management thing, and when I'm in high school, there's not a whole lot of time to throw around and way too many ideas.
