The Forbes "30 Under 30" list came out recently, and it hit me like a ton of bricks: I'm turning 30 in less than two months, and the likelihood of making any of those exceedingly popular "under 30" lists is dwindling. FAST. Given the fact that I have trouble working my iPhone and television, I never really expected to create an app or launch a company that would land me on the Forbes list. But I thought my constant, desperate chase for attention would eventually snag me a spot as the wunderkind who starred in the TV show she also wrote. These lists appear in Hollywood all the time, too, and I remember when I was 19 and head over heels in love with my first screenwriting class, thinking it was inevitable that I'd eventually end up on one of them. After all, I had 11 years and a "Rainman"-like focus when it came to writing. And yet, here I am. It's been nearly 11 years, and I've written 11 scripts. Some I'm glad haven't seen the light of day, and others I'm heartbroken (and still have hope that maybe one day they will). But, none of them are landing me on a "30 Under 30" list and, as ridiculous as this sounds, that kind of bums me out. #WHITEPEOPLEPROBLEMS, amiright??View Article
