This book was a very interesting story of how Felica Day made a name for herself, created her own web series and stayed true to who she is.
Learning about how she started her career as an actress, to a screen writer and then a producer was fascinating.
Felicia Day always wanted to be an actress, but she also loved video games. She found a way to merge those two interests, and to be honest with herself.
I knew about The Guild webseries, and I had seen Felcia Day on Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, but I didn't know that You Tube was released the same year that Felicia Day released her web series.
Writing her pilot for the Guild, and trying to market it was very difficult for her to achieve with many producers, so eventually, she took the project in her own hands, and with the help of her friends, she created what is known as The Guild today.
The important thing about her memoir is that it's real. She comes clean about her anxiety issues, and it was comforting to know that despite her anxiety, she went through with her project 100%, and she never looked back.
Reading her memoir was a little familiar, because I could relate to some of the situations that she put herself in, mostly with anxiety and the writing process.
The writing process is not easy, but it is simple. Felicia Day described it perfectly as writing something, then deleting it for hours and hours until she felt that the page was good enough to move on. This is similar to my script writing process, novel writing and sometimes blogging.
I enjoyed this book, and it gives me hope that I have just begun my own journey toward a career in script writing.
I give it five out of five EXP.
