Unlike many of her fellow film-school grads, Mary has actually seen several of the scripts she worked on come to life on television and in theaters. Nevertheless, she is still chasing down that elusive fist sale for one of her own scripts.

The Trouble With New Year’s Resolutions

THE TROUBLE WITH NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS is that they change your life when you actually keep them. For better AND for worse. 

For better, I went to the gym this morning (Resolution #1).  For worse, that put me 87 minutes behind schedule, and now here it is, 3:00 in the afternoon, and I still haven’t run my errands, paid my bills, nor returned my phone calls.  But I did go to the gym, take a shower,
