Screenwriting, film making, and kitten heels.
- Amy Butler
- I've been writing all my life, but a time comes along when you have to decide whether you're serious about making a passion a craft or not (that time is your last year of college). What follows is a personal history of screenwriting, filmmaking, and - frankly - whatever else I feel like writing about.

I've been having a crisis of confidence as well, although mine is far more... general and overarching. Like I can't seem to snap out of the funk that I'm just not good enough.
But here's what I know about Amy the writer. She is dedicated. She is inspired, and when she isn't, she's still better than most people on their best day. She's wise beyond her years. She knows what she's doing. She knows what she wants. She can do things with words they can't train dogs to do with hoops.
And she's super sexy (don't know why I threw that in there, just for fun).
So go get 'em.
Just jump in and do it.
Amy, amy...listen to Mike...and listen to me :) You are wonderful. You are creative. And you are talented. You CAN do this, you kicked my butt at NanoWrimo ok? So just hang in there and battle that inner critic! "you can't stop the signal" ;)
Ps. you are super sexy, i'd have to agree :P
