As a teenager dreaming of a writing career, I was inspired to discover that two of my favorite movies were both written by a female team: Kirsten and her writing partner, Karen.
I didn’t think they’d take a young writer like me __16__. But still, I wrote Kirsten an email letting her know that I had an idea I wanted to __17__ with her and Karen, and asked if they’d be __18__ to meet with me.
I didn’t even expect a(n) __19__ to my email. However, 12 days after I sent it, I received a(n) __20__ reply from Kirsten.
Her email included this line, which made me __21__ up from my computer chair: “Karen and I would be honored to __22__ you and to hear more about everything you’re working on.” We met for __23__ the following week, and after a three-hour meal __24__ laughs and sisterly advice, a friendship was born.
__25__, Kirsten and Karen __26__ the idea I shared with them.
Their __27__ in my ideas at the earliest stage of my career is something I’ll never forget; it’s what made me believe that I could be a good __28__ too, just like them. And more importantly, our __29__ is still going strong all these years later.
In fact, Kirsten is the first person who has ever suggested I __30__ a novel. Actually, she gave me this __31__ while we were standing on the Teens section of Barnes & Noble, a bookstore where several years later, our __32__ would sit together on the shelves.
I wish every young writer had someone like Kirsten in their life to help __33__ them on their way. As I looked at our books hanging out together on the bookstore shelf, I once again thought how glad I was that I sent that __34__ years ago.
If you too have an idol who you would love to learn from, simply __35__ out and ask them. That might be all it takes to set you on the path to your dreams.
