Hi everybody. We have a really exciting class coming up. I know we are in the dog days of summer, but we are looking at the fall. As many of you know, November is National Novel Writing Month. And we really

love Nana Raimo this month because it inspires us to write something quickly and not focus on perfectionism but the joy of

creating art and belief that creating art is in and of itself a good thing.

So for the last couple of years what we've done is spent the month of October

getting ready to write something for the whole month of November and then in the

month of November creating a community in which we support each other and encourage each other and coach each other as to how to hit this 50,000 word mark.

This year we have two different classes available.

In October you can either study writing romantic stories with me and the incredible novelist and podcaster and screenwriter Dana Schwartz

or you can take a memoir writing class with me an incredible storyteller from this American life and the moth, Michaela Bly.

The reason I am talking to you in summer about this is because we have an early bird special available through July 31st.

If you sign up between now and July 31st for either or both of these classes, you will get 10% off. I know you have a story in you

whether it is about your life or a great romantic story that you've always

wanted to write. We really want to read them and

hear about them and support you through the process of writing them. You can find out

more by going to not sorry Works.com.

And I love this class so I can't wait to see you in October and November. Today we're discussing You've Got Mail, the 1998 film, which is the last collaboration

between Nora Efron and Meg Ryan. It is based on the

1937 play, Profumore by the Hungarian Jewish writer Meeklo Shlazlo.

Perfumore then got turned in to a 1940 movie,

Shop Around the Corner starring Jimmy Stewart,

a 1949 movie musical called

In the Good Old Summertime with Judy Garland and Buster Keaton, then the 1963
