This is going to be a ridiculous post where I talk about how much I love my boyfriend because he takes care of me, and does sweet things for me, and believes in me even when I don’t believe in myself. And we get to be weird together and listen to The Little Mermaid soundtrack before bed and make faces at each other. I can’t believe I found someone so perfect for me.

We did it!
I’m still coming off the incredible high of filming last week. I can’t believe we shot 45 pages in 6 days. I am so grateful to the amazingly talented cast and hardworking crew. Can’t wait to show all of you what we did.

A Dream Come True
Five years ago, I was 22 and living in an apartment with one of my best friends from high school and her three-year-old daughter. I wrote my first pilot.
I sent that very unpolished pilot to a writer friend of mine, who I deeply respected and admired. We sat down at the WB lot to discuss it and he said, “This is an amazing idea and someone will make it someday. This will also be the...

a little life update
Things are so crazy hectic right now, that I’m relishing any spare moment I get.
It seems I can never catch a break when it comes to health stuff. With the winds, and fires, and terrible allergy season, my asthma has been awful lately. So awful that I wound up at Urgent Care yesterday after spending Saturday night coughing up a lung. 6 prescriptions, an injection, and 2 breathing...

those three words
It started as a sweet and simple gesture. Something to show him how much she cared for him. His hours had been long lately, and their time together cut short. She worried they were drifting apart as it tends to happen once the honeymoon period fades away. She delicately folded his clothes and that’s when it happened: a letter, postmarked just a few days ago, fell from his pocket. Curiously, she...

Reasons Why I'm Hibernating this Week
Grandma’s situation hasn’t improved, so that’s been rough
I’m sick, yet again. It’s just a cold, but the amount of snot I produced today is more than I’d like to get into (and yet… I just did! You’re welcome, internet)
Housesitting in a place with poor reception, so that seems like a no-brainer way to go off the map (did I mention it’s...

Things that suck
-having a grandma dying of emphysema and knowing there’s nothing you can do except watch her suffer
-spontaneously crying because of the above
-feeling helpless and insecure because the only thing you can think about is how to stop hurting
-trying to hold everything inside because your family is also hurting and you don’t want to burden them

Dream Ideas
I had a dream last night that gave me a really great idea for my next pilot. Last time that happened was when I wrote my musical pilot, which ended up being the best thing I ever wrote.
Oh, and in the dream, everydayjonhill ended up being the one to give me the idea… so thanks for that, dream Jon!
I was also a really great ballerina, but a terrible singer. Seems about right.

You guys, I am genuinely sad over Michele Williams and Jason Segel breaking up. Is there no more love in this world? They were perfect together. If Emma and Andrew call it quits… I’m done.
