Post Oscars... I see all the beautiful women (the men tend to run together in their black suits) especially the up-and-comers like Hailee Steinfeld from True Grit and think there are so many screenplays to be written for someone that strong-willed 14 year old. As writers, especially for the young adult audience, I think we have to work hard to live the lives of our younger characters, remember our younger selves, though sometimes they leap down the carpet, this one red, and you can see the entire story. I wonder if someday I'll ever see my story played out there? Hailee Steinfeld as Skylar Thompson (main character of LIE)?? |
