Husband Clothes

I am about to share a secret on Burbank salons. I get a “Hollywood haircut” every time I go to mine.  I went there today for the first time in 4 months…far too long. And I came out looking…well, so darn sassy. AND it was not expensive–always a plus. (For locals, I’ll post this info should it be helpful–Handzz N Strandz Hair Salon 818-559-2244. Awesome, awesome hair stylists.)

SO anyway…every time I go to his salon, I get this “shouldn’t I be doing Hollywood screenwriting rather than web content writing?” thing happening. This is because, like every place in and around Hollywood, be it Burbank, Santa Monica, Glendale–doesn’t matter, EVERYONE is doing film and TV stuff–so of course, this includes my hairstylist’s clients!

He also does hairstyles for some big stars from time to time. Recently he did hair before a show in Florida where he did Shakira’s hair, Gloria Estefan, and some other really famous people. Plus, because so many of his clients work in every little niche of the entertainment industry, he knows about all of the stars, keeps up with celebrity gossip, all this stuff.

So every time I’m in there, I get this “star struck” feeling like “hey, why am I just a lowly web content writer?” Then I get inspired to do something big. Then I get home and my boys need my constant attention, then my job needs attention, also my husband–so I forget how star stricken I felt, and forget all about it for 4 months till I get my hair cut again.

Hm. So suddenly I’m all inspired to write this screenplay I’ve been thinking about. My hairstylist liked the idea. So did my sister and Amy–the choosiest people ever (in a good way, as in, they don’t approve of low quality stuff, and they will not lie about it to save your feelings–therefore, I know it’s a good idea.) So I’m going to write it.

Don’t I know that’s a waste of time and that I’ll never find an agent to take it? But of course! I can’t be stopped regardless. I’ll write my little screenplay and send it to a few agents who will not answer my query, and then I will stick the screenplay in the same drawer as my little novel (different story altogether, unedited, because no time, but also don’t care because other fun things to do)…and that will be that!
