Met an author...

a few months back through Tony, we talked a little bit about what I am doing, then run into him again, on the perfect time when the biggest dilemma I have in this moment is if I am developing  a tragedy, or a sort of feel good movie, ending wise at least... Do I really want Olufemi to overcome her tragic flaw, or do I want no redemption... Well, I am Greek after all... I want it to touch the every day reality, I want people to see what makes them uncomfortable, that we choose to live in a world full of people alone...that we can have all the money in the world but we can never thrive without intimacy...this is the town I live in half of my life, everyone is looking for something better, and my Robert sure cared for Olufemi but he gave up, he chose the easy way out, the sure thing...yes he could have melted her little cold heart, taught her love but he chose not to... So I am going through my thoughts with him and he says "I am happy you are choosing the hard way out" and I say "what's your last name, I want to Google you, so I read one of yours books, see your reality"  WOW! he 's the author of one my favorite books, the only book I have bought and gave to people...WOW!
