Kristen, I'm sorry to hear you didn't get into the program. But, let me remind you that we don't need no stinkin' Disney seal of approval to know you're fabulous.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

The status is NOT quo.
Kristen, I'm sorry too. Still, what an incredible achievement to have been a finalist! I hope you're still proud of that; I find it incredibly impressive.

Everyone's already said it better than I could, but they're right, Kristen. I'm still waiting for The Kristenverse on b.org.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm sorry for the disappointment Kristen. What they all said. Good things have and will continue to come from this.

Thanks again, everyone! I'm feeling less sad about it today. Still disappointed but I can actually talk about it now. And, thank god for that, since I'm sure I'll have to give my little, "I didn't get it but it's okay" speech another dozen times before Christmas is over.
I wouldn't be surprised if the dark was a negative factor.
HA! You are not the only person who has said this to me. Truth be told, I don't look at the current ABC schedule and see a place for me. But it was mentioned in my interview that they have some procedurals in development. So maybe something will turn up down the road.
Fortunately, I did make a contingency plan. So now that I've gotten the mope out of my system, I'll write the Cold Case spec and start on my original sample in January. I also need to find a writers group and sign up for a playwriting class.
Disney or not, 2006 is going to be a busy year.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay!

Well yeah for contingency plans. Did I already say, you rock?
