Whenever something of mine sneaks to air without another Producer offering "constructive" help.

True story.

When I was 26 and newly married, I lost my job. I was extremely depressed.

One afternoon, out of work, I found myself wandering through a large book store. There in the bargain shelf was a book called something like "Do It Now - Begin Living Your Dreams". It was all about changing your life.

I kept picking it up and contemplating buying it, but it was $20 and I felt guilty about spending $20 when I was out of work. I actually walked out of the store without the book.

As I was leaving, I thought, "Damn it, I'm worth $20!" and I went back into the store to buy the book. It was gone.

I had no idea what happened and then I saw it. At the front register, the only other customer in the store was buying, my book.

I was in shock for a moment. And then I realized, I didn't need a book to tell me to start living my dreams. I walked straight back to the filmmaking section, as if drawn there by some mysterious hand, and purchased my first book on screenwriting.

Three months later I had completed my first script and I haven't looked back since.
