OH, Amy's gonna kill me...

My good friend/writing sistah Amy over at godispatientiamnot.blogspot.com tried to comment on my dark and gloomy sad-girl post a few days ago, but Blogger thwarted her. So she sent some wisdom via email, and I lost it because I forgot to save it after showing it to a friend, so I wrote her to resend it, and after reading it again, I decided it needed to make it into the text of my blog for posterity sake. And because who knows: somebody else might be encouraged by it, too. (I've been encouraged by other people's blogs AND the comments from people I don't know on their blogs - hey people - I will take it wherever I can get it.)

SO.

Here is the wit and wisdom of Amy the Screenwriter.

Pretty good stuff, eh? She likes to be all humble and crap, but I think she's got just the measured amount of optimism and faith that I can take at this point. I swear when I learn how to link, I am TOTALLY linking to her blog. She rocks.
