Hollywood actresses’ reasoning sometime seems to be totally different than everyone else, hence what Emma Stone was up to in the movie Poor Things. I guess I understand why many — but not all — Hollywood starlets are so eager to do spicy and or nude scenes in movies.
Naomi Scott would make a perfect heroine of the movie adaptation of my novel.
Well, this novel certainly has enough of those type of scenes in it for some ambitious starlet to get into. I did not mean it to be that way, but once I said, “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if my heroine sometimes stripped?” the rest took care of itself.
Now, obviously, some people are turned off by spicy scenes in novels — especially mine! But I can’t help where the muse takes me and so here we are. I just have to be careful not to get too excited about the prospect of this or that actress playing a character in the film adaptation of this novel.
Just *getting a literary agent* given the various headwinds I face will be like winning the lottery. For the novel to get sold and to *essentially* be an instant success is yet another amazing thing that would have to happen.
So, at this point all this talk of Hollywood being interesting in this novel is just mental masturbation used to keep my creative juices flowing. I just want to finish something, anything, and get into the querying process…at last.
