FWIW, to me, this is what everything’s all about. Doing your best at what you believe in. Risking everything. Taking a flyer. Plunging in.
Maybe you’ll fly. Maybe you’ll crash and burn. But while it’s happening…well, my generation had an overused saying, but I believe it applies here: “Wotta rush!”
I’ve lived every moment of my adult life this way and would never change a thing.
(Saw the pic at Forbes while research crowdfunding about a year ago. Have no idea where they got it but love the thing.)
Yes!
And yet you sat so quiet during our script meetings. Accepting the changes if they made sense, speaking calmly if you felt they didn’t. And turning in the rewrite right on time… Do you remember those daze, LB? I’m sure you do. Writers… Real Writers…never forget. Can you possibly forget what comes from your heart, your soul, your very being? “WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, SANFORD? You’re only writing a TV EPISODE!” “YES. BUT IT’S COMING FROM WHO I AM.” gs
