Today I watched “Something Borrowed” by my favorite Author, Emily Giffin. This book was a great read and it will forever be on my Top 5 Favorite Book list. As the movie played on I began to feel somewhat of a closeness with the delightful and sweet (Rachel) and it’s all-about-me (Darcy) characters, just like I did when I read the book. Though the movie didn’t follow the book exactly, it was pretty close. I relived a few of my favorite scenes and wow…I congratulate Emily on what I can only dream about. Having her bestselling books (I heard that “Something Blue” is in the works), become movies, it makes me want to work harder to get my book published and hopefully have it turned into a movie.
For more inspiration HERE is an interview which I loved, especially her answer to the 4th question. Am I stubborn? Absolutely!
I haven’t seen it yet, but it looks good. I share that dream with you: to have my book turned into a movie.
Love her answer to am I stubborn! You have to be to survive the rejections on the way to success.
All the best.
Thanks, Elke! I love being able to share the same dream — a book and then a movie! Go us!
I agree! Being able to survive rejection is a big deal and being stubborn is the perfect way to handle it!
I’ve never attempted a book, not sure I have enough to say. I do admire a good writer though, and by extension a good read. Having your book turned into a movie would be the ultimate wouldn’t it?
Thanks for your comment! Attempting to write is a book is quite an overwhelming process (at times), but once you get going (having writer’s block occasionally), it’s hard to stop. Give it a try and I bet you’ll be surprised! 🙂
I think you’re right. Seeing people succeed is incredibly motivating! But you have to be stubborn to think like that.
Thank you for your comment! 🙂
