Julie! Thank you for saying hello last night! And--relief--that you found my question appropriate. Your comment here makes me feel better about it, so thank you. (I took one look at you and felt the urge to hug. Glad that was okay, too!) xo

Mary, I genuinely thought when you asked that question that is was the best question of the evening. I twinged a bit when George answered Judd the previous time - it felt like Judd was genuinely looking for advice and George sort of answered, but then veered off to talk about form. You picked up on that in your usual sensitive way, and then asked George to revisit in your also usual kind way. One of the things I love about George is how human he is - you pushed him a bit and it made for a great interaction in what is often a contrived setting. I am sure he appreciated it. He said that you are the heart of story club, and I agree. It was so fun to see and hear from live story club people... I loved the hug, and had this sudden wish we could all hang out together
I felt like Judd had really admitted to something there--that he'd spent a year staring at a blank page and just couldn't get any words down. (Famous People--they're just like us!) And I think he said he'd been stopped by fear (that he'd never write a decent play, which was what he was trying to do). That admission of fear and the fact that he felt he had failed--both of those things just struck me. I wanted to offer to help him write a play! Ha! Obviously, that wasn't gonna happen, so I did the next big thing: asked George to help him! Thanks again for your supportive words! I'm feeling much better about asking my question and putting George on the spot. Hopefully, he'll forgive me!

I think we should start a story club petition for a Judd Apatow play, replete with penis jokes ЁЯШВ
Ha!
