Why I Find Weekly Trips to B&N Necessary

Hello friends,

Despite the lack of comments, I know you are reading. I don't know who you are, but I do know I have readers thanks to the magic of google analytics.

I dug up an old screenplay today that I started 4 years ago. A mere 10 pages, but I really like it! Now I'm going to turn that 10 into 120. I'm thrilled to have rediscovered something I feel I can finish now.

I'll let you know how it goes. Looks like it's going to be a rom-com. Which I usually make fun of, BUT when they are executed well I LOVE them.

Funnily enough, I picked up Nora Ephron's book yesterday and read the thing at the book store. It's her newest one...I can't even remember the title at the moment. The book wasn't all that great (I would have appreciated it more had I been older) but I kept reading because what is great is her writer's voice. It's very distinct. And I was hoping to pick up any golden nuggets of information since she has written and directed some fantastic movies.

Her book must have inspired me because now I'm determined to write this rom-com. Besides reading The Hollywood Reporter magazine (I do not subscribe as that would ruin the fun of going to the book store), Nora Ephron has given me another reason weekly trips to the book store pay off.
