I take it that certain bestseller wasn't a recent publication. :wink:

I always found the ending of Juno to be horrifying.

I was talking with my shrink about my issues with adoption and my struggle with making it into a good story. He suggested I write something lighter and softer about it. I called him out, saying that it wouldn't make an impact with readers.

Wow. It's been well over a year, and I'm still at a loss as to how to make this into a good story.

As someone who's Pro-Life, I think a softer story would sell and educate people. Another option would be to make a soft version for the Pro-Lifers and a darker version for the rest of the population.

I'm more of a horror/thriller guy, unfortunately. I live on the dark side.

Welcome to Sarajevo is a very powerful movie about orphans in Bosnia,based on a true story.Savior is another one about a soldier and a orphaned baby.
Both are very intense films and may be upsetting to some who are real tender hearted.
