When I Was A Kid, I Attended

I've Been Watching 'american Idol' Since Its Debut Season In 2002. Back Then, America Hadn't Yet Evolved Into A Gladiatorial Cybernation Of Bloggers, Tweeters, And Self-ordained Voice Coaches.

I Had Gone To The Bookstore, And While I Hadn't Bought Any Books On How To Write A Screenplay, I'd Bought A Couple Of Scripts So I Could See How The Formatting Works. I Just Needed To Know How A Hollywood Screenplay Looked On The Page, Which Was Something I Was Totally Unfamiliar With.

I Keep Joking That I'm In Jason Reitman Film School, Because I Keep Asking Him Questions Every Single Day About Directing And I Have A List Of Things That He's Told Me To Do And Not Do And I Definitely Couldn't Learn From A Better Person.

I Am Actually Able To Do Other Things. I'm Not Just This Writer.

I'm Glad That As A 33-year-old Working Mother, I Can Still Choose To Wear A Hello Kitty T-shirt Or Stay Up Late Scrolling Through The Twitter Feed Of My Junior-high Crush.
