More Upward Movement

Tonight I had to go to an English department meeting for my advanced fiction class. When I overheard adfic-prof man telling another student that my former screenwriting prof would be there, I gained the secondary need to go to the department meeting in the hopes that I could speak to former screenwriting man for a moment or two.

Imagine my surprise, when former screenwriting prof man entered the room and chose to sit next to me, when there were tens of empty chairs. We talked. I even mentioned new screeenwriting prof man AKA the jerk's less than wonderful take on my movie. Cool screenwriting prof said to ignore it. He thinks I should really consider screenwriting as a career and he recommended a fellowship that I'm going to look into. I'm not sure about the whole career thing, but I'm willing to see where it goes. I'm going to hopefully meet with him later in the year to talk more about sending my script out. The man gave me the encouragement just when I needed it. How cool is that?!

Don't get me wrong, I'd still be doing okay without former screenwriting prof's praise, it's just nice icing on the cake.

Life is a very crazy thing.
