Goodbye Prince

I'm sorry I never got to meet Prince. I think we would have gotten along. His death hit me hard, much like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. These icons were the pinnacles of my teenage to adult years! It was Prince's songs that guided me through those awkward years of my life and I learned to accept and love me for me. Goodnight sweet Prince. See ya on the other side.

Why Wouldn't I?

A friend came up to me and asked for help in getting his son into the writer's room. He's 20 and white. I said, why should I help the guy who takes opportunities from me? Not 20, black, and female. I smiled and told him that I am happy to do what I can. I am very secure, not only in myself but in my writing despite a recent comment from a guy who read the first act of one of my pilots, calling it "cliche." He basically was saying it's shit and I'm just another talentless hack crowding the system.

Several people have read my stuff and not one said it was cliche. I'll keep on writing and I'll continue to help others. I know my moment will happen. Who knows, that moment might be....now!

Being Single is NOT a Curse!!

People ask me two things upon meeting me: 1. Are you married, and 2. Do you have any kids? I smile and respond with No to both and I'm absolutely happy. Some have even tried to guilt me on my choice. It didn't work. Relationships and children aren't a priority for me. Writing. Having my television shows on the air. The freedom to do whatever I want whenever appeals to me. I'm loyal to myself. I'm also honest with myself. I don't believe we have ONE person out there. I believe we have many. Each serving a different purpose to help us grow as a person. If there is ONE person out there who can afford such rich experiences with me, then he will have to be someone intelligent, insanely funny, high energy yet chill, giving, loyal, honest, oh the list could go on and I have yet to find any one guy to embody all of those qualities. I love my life. Living in the now is very rewarding. And I'm not saying my mated friends are not living in the now. I'm saying we are living different experiences. Accept mine, as I accept yours.
