My love affair with Meryl Streep continues.
I saw Julia & Julie last night—a feast for writers and cooks.
And lovers!
What a movie!
What an actress!
What a concept!
One of the taglines for the movie is, “An inspirational film about finding your passion.”
Isn’t that great? Finding your passion?
It’s a great movie for writers. You get to see how Julia Child struggled trying to get published with her first cook book. Also, how Julie struggled as a writer and then started a blog for a year about her cooking a Julia Child recipe a day.
Both of these women had passions. Julia first had a passion for eating which led her to her passion for cooking which led her to a passion to write a cookbook.
Julie, a writer, played by Amy Adams, had a passion for writing which led her to her passion to cook a Julia Child recipe a day for a year and blog about it. And then she got a book deal.
Wow! Such passion in these women. Eating/cooking/writing/getting published.
I can relate.
I’ve got a big passion for writing.
What I love most about Julia Child though is she had a passion for her husband. How can you have a passion for anything in life and not have a passion for love?
Yeah, I’ve got a passion for love too.
I love to write.
Always, Em

Nice post, Em. I loved Julia & Julie too. It was so inspiring. I cried several times because of the connection with my own writing. A must-see for writers.
Thanks for you comments Sloan. And congrats again on your book.
