As I posted on Friday, my writing partner has been in town all weekend and leaves tomorrow.  We have been in the process of writing a script for the past three years.  We'd be working on it, then something crazy would happen with one of us, and we'd have to stop, but we've always come back around to it, mainly because we both love the idea so much.  Long story short, three years ago, as we were beginning to brainstorm about story, characters, etc., we made a short list of who could play each part (this is mainly "pretend" work you do to give your brain a rest), and we came up with Katie Holmes as an idea for the heroine.  Fast forward to this weekend, as we were looking back over our huge stack of notes from three years ago, when my writing partner read the following quote to me:

"What is Katie's main problem?  How could someone like Katie Holmes ever have any problems?  What's she got to worry about?" 

I laughed my ass off, tumbled out of my chair, and vomited on the carpet.  What a difference three years make, huh?
