“From Heist to Hollywood: How a Vault’s Secrets Inspired a ScreenCraft Fellow’s Creative Breakthrough”
Moving to LA was extremely difficult. I was lucky enough to room with two of my friends from UT. Thank goodness I had that support system because the transition was difficult and success did not come knocking at my door, asking to borrow some sugar or any of my TV pilot ideas.
Instead, I worked at Barnes & Noble, as a nanny, as a receptionist, and as an assistant to a personal organizer. I thought less about the Dawson’s Creek theme song and more about the Crying Dawson meme during this time. But I kept writing. It was the one thing I could control.
