The Opportunity to Say Yes - Michael

I have a friend who's also doing the whole "follow your creative dreams" (barf) thing, and through her philosophy of "training your gut to listen to the universe" has increasingly been successful. I asked her if I should write a letter to the producer of the film that we're adapting.

She said, "You need to give people the opporunity to say yes."

"So yeah, do it." she added.

Not terribly original, I realize. As my girlfriend pointed out, it's the whole "You will miss 100% of the shots you don't take," thing. Hell, my friend even admitted that she got it from her friend. But it was important to hear. I'm not sure where I stand on the whole "listen to the universe" thing; I like to think I bend it to me, and not the other way around. It seems, however, to be working for her, so maybe it couldn't hurt.

Now that I think about it, the universe did throw the guy's address into my lap...

I'm writing the letter.

  1. The universe threw the guy's address into your lap? If by "universe" you mean the incredibly intelligent and beautiful girl who lives with you and told you to go on iMDB.com to find the guy's contact information, then yes. Just sayin... =)
