Holy sh!t

So I know this blog has been basically ignored for a good time now. I do not mean for this to be so but I've been busy applying to creative writing grad schools. I was searching for inspiration for my personal statements and I decided to revert back to this good ol' blog. Little did I know that Issa Lopez had personally left me a comment about a week ago!!! O.o She responded to my "Day 1--Issa Lopez" blog with the following:

Issa Lopez here. Viv, Thanks so much for the faith... truth to be told, many of the things you say above are because of luck and luck alone. Listen, I cannot read material from anyone that does not come through agents and so and so because of veeery weird and paranoid copyright issues that I had to agree on, but, if you are asking for advice, it would be this: Forget Telenovelas. It's a rotten world, and producers only ruin your work. If you want to write movies, then do that. Take some screenwriting workshops, join filmschool.... all the contacts that helped me make my movies, came from there. Best of luck, and thanks again!!

WOW! First of all, how freaking awesome that this rock star took the time to read my crap?! RIGHT?! Second of all, this is really good advice. She's not bull shitting me around, she knows the nitty gritty of this business. I may have to just skip the telenovelas and move right onto movies. Either way, I have decided to go to grad school in creative writing, where I will actually be recieving workshops in both screenplays and fiction. From then on, my journey will continue. Though ofcouse I am disillusioned with the world of Telenovelas, I'm still going to poke my head around and see what's there. Till then faithful readers, don't ever think that no one reads your silly little blogs. :D
