Ended up talking to some Fancy Finance Fellows at a bar tonight. When they found out what I do, one asked: “So is the dream Hollywood? Movie? Show?” I answered probably the truest thing I’ve said in a bar: “I’ve had many things optioned. The actual dream is being able to write whatever I want & pay for my life & my child’s with just that. That’s the REAL goal. Hollywood, if it happens, is just a means to that.” 9 comments
@Catvalente Amen. The folklorist in me would be interested in seeing a variant rendition of the story, but more than anything, it's the increased financial security I want out of it. @atomicbird I mean I would barely be able to stand the amount of joy that would bring me  @Catvalente it’s awesome that you have that clarity. Based on my experience, you’ll also find it useful years down the road, when you look back and assess how these years went @Catvalente Some people just can't understand having motives beyond more money forever.  I'm in open source and maps, but exactly this. Couple days ago we had a discussion with a guy in a restaurant who's set of earning all the money in the world, and that's what I replied — just to make little useful digital things and have my children's needs paid for.

@Catvalente oh, this is so true. The same with prizes etc. Writers just want to write.
