I got Julie & Julia for Christmas and as I watched it this morning, I wondered how long it will take for me to be as popular as Julie is. I'm sure people would really like to hear about how I'm writing a lot more because of Julie Powell. Amy Adams showed that Julie had a hard life. And it got even worse when Julie knew thought that Julia didn't like her. But then it all got better, she had interviews, articles, pictorials, and I wonder how long it's going to take for me to at least sell a screenplay. Out of the twenty films I written, not one has been produced.
And even though I had quit writing for a week, I began again mostly because of Julie. I would probably be a sad unemployed freak if it wasn't for her. I'm really liking the chain starting with Julia to Julie to me and hopefully me to someone else.
And I'm tired of waiting for popularity or publicity.
I want to grow up to be just like Julie.

A Realization
Lately as I was writing my latest feature film, "My Mysterious Man", I figured out what kept me writing. I remember I was listening to four CDs, one at a time. Each of them are women.
When I listen to Michelle Branch, I find her lyrics to be very moving and touching. They're very sweet sounding. She's a real romantic singer.
When I listen to Alanis Morissette, I find her words to be the most honest lyrics I ever heard from any singer. She always has something to say and feels proud to express it with music.
Whenever I listen to Avril Lavigne, she can be very rocking. Like a pun. I always thought of Avril to be a rock singer. Her music is fun-loving and hip. I love inspiration from Avril.
And when I listen to Melissa Etheridge, she makes me feel very energized and always giving me the energy to write scenes or scenarios.
To brief it up in one word each, Michelle is romantic, Alanis is honest, Avril is rockin', and Melissa is energizing.
These four women really know how to write music and they always get me going. In fact, I was somewhat still around writing the beginning of "My Mysterious Man" and after listening to four CDs, one of each of these women, I kept writing and wouldn't stop when I got to the middle of the climax. And that's the most I've ever written while working on one movie at a time. I say that's usually not like me. Because most of the time, I write a few scenes at a time for each film I'm in the middle of. I'll never stop listening to Alanis, Michelle Avril, or Melissa.
