At eight years old she was playing in large groups of friends, giggling with the other girls about which boy was the dorkiest.
At 16 she was so fearless and quite the sassy teenage girl who stood strong for herself and her worth.
When she was 24 she had these vivid visions of her amazing career that challenged her mind, fed her soul and provided her the freedom to make choices.
When she was 29, she had dreams of marrying an amazing man, bringing two beautiful children into this world and holding on to her independence.
In 'One Day,' two friends realize they're made for each other...but it's never the right time.
Sometimes we grow out of relationships. Other times we grow into them. And then there are those that always seem to be just between sizes. In 'One Day,' based on David Nicholls' book of the same title, Emma (the always-lovely Anne Hathaway) and Dexter (Jim Sturgess) meet on graduation day at the University of Edinburgh. Well, officially meet. Emma's admired Dexter from afar for awhile, though he's never noticed her. The timing and circumstances (high spirits, new beginnings, alcohol) are perfect for a hook-up, at the very least.
If you could rewrite the next chapters of your story, how would it be different?
"Writing is re-writing" ~ Robert L. Kelley
What if we treated our lives as a story and approached them as the author of that story? Most writers understand writing is a process and some very common ways of approaching it. It is rare that a writer creates a final draft their first time sitting down with their story. It is a process of writing, experimenting, noticing what works and what doesn't and then rewriting.
