I couldn’t let the day pass…
Without mentioning the passing of Nora Ephron…
If you’ve never heard of her…
Check this Wikipedia link…
But her screenplays for:
When Harry Met Sally…
Sleepless in Seattle…
You’ve Got Mail…
Julia & Julie…
Among many, many other accomplishments…
Will live on.
It was her appearance on Oprah’s show…
When she was plugging…
I Feel Bad About MY Neck….
A book of essays…
That I first connected with Nora.
Her kind of humor speaks to the heart of my writing.
If anyone ever asks me who my inspiration is…
It would be Nora.
(also Erma Bombeck & Jill Soloway)
Here’s one of her quotes about humor and her parents...
Who were also screenwriters.
“They believed that anything in life could be turned
Into a story. Which is really the first rule of humor.
I don’t think you can get through almost anything
without humor."
R.I.P Nora.
So?
So?
Who is your inspiration for your writing?
Always, Em-Musing
