MOVIE REVIEW- Captain Marvel Firstly, the cinema was full! Tickets sold out several times. It’s clear that the cinematic superhero phenomenon is still in full swing.

Should I edit as I go? I’m not sure what the percentages are but I can assure you it would be different for everyone. Should or shouldn’t you edit as you go?  Personally, I do a little of both. My main approach is to get the story down on paper. However, each day I do […]
