A Script for Life

Ever wish you could script your own life, or at least turn tense and awkward moments into scripted scenes that you control? That’s what Sadie Perkins, narrator of the Bit Players book series, does whenever her stress level skids into overdrive. Okay, maybe thinking in script doesn’t actually give Sadie control, but it does help her make sense of the situation as she isolates the dialogue and intersperses stage direction only when really necessary. Is it only theatre addicts who think this way?
