BY LORRAINE DUFFY MERKL OK, why don't you all just go ahead and call me ungrateful and get it over with. Perhaps you usually don't read my bio at the bottom of the articles, so I'll just tell you: the script version of my novel Fat Chick, which was published back in 2009, has been optioned by a producer to be made into a movie. Whether it ever gets shown in theaters, who knows? It might end up being streamed on Netflix or Amazon, or end up as a movie of the week on Lifetime or the Hallmark Channel. Any of the aforementioned options would work for me. I'm even fine with the fact that because my production company, just like my publisher, is independent, I'll be getting paid on the backend rather than upfront.
