I’m very unambitious and I want to live in a bubble! So I said no but he hounded me for a bit and I just said ‘whatever’, because I had free time on my hands. The odds of writing a screenplay and having it produced are daunting as it’s a very competitive field and as I’ve said, competition doesn’t appeal to me, nor does rejection. I started blogging every day and when I started blogging about stripping and the sex industry, suddenly surprise surprise I got a huge audience! For some reason people on the internet are interested in sex - who knew that?! My blog traffic went through the roof and one day I got an email from this guy who said he was a big fan of my blog and he was also a producer in Hollywood and he said I think you should try writing a movie. So, when the internet publishing revolution came about it was perfect for me, I could write every day, put it out there and not have to worry about an editor telling me I wasn’t good enough. I didn’t even write for the school paper. For that reason, I’ve never received a rejection letter in my life because that terror would just grip me. "I’ve always written for my own edification and for fun but I have this fear of rejection so I spent my entire life being a writer who didn’t get published. When I'm feeling down, I go back and read Roger Ebert's review of Juno because it's kind of a beautiful tribute to the movie.ĭiablo Cody became known for her memoir, "Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper," and the blog that preceded it. Cody did an interview with Scott Myers where she talked about how she got into writing: Which, if you read me regularly might be a good or bad thing, depending on your feelings toward these columns and my screenplays.
She did Letterman, she won an Academy Award, and she inspired me to sit my butt in a chair and begin to write. She was the first screenwriter I remember being actually famous. The movie was like an incredible coming-out party for Diablo Cody.
Sitting in the AMC Painters Crossing, I watched as characters spouted incredible dialogue, made hard choices, led to tears from laughing, and tears from something much deeper.
But I was a college freshman who had just left his sports medicine track and was trying to get accepted into the film program when a little movie called Juno came out and it was the first time I felt like I had made the right decision.
Movies that stick out in our mind as the things that pushed us over the edge. There are lots of reasons we want to become writers. So what else can you learn from Diablo Cody's screenplay? Everyone was talking about the unique voice, tone, and screenwriter. The Juno screenplay PDF was passed around Hollywood after the Academy Awards.
