“What we feel strongly about is that thing we want to stand on our rooftop and shout to the world, that thing we would die for, that thing we are uniquely qualified to express. What we feel strongly about is not the plot, but rather the underlying meaning that drives the plot. What is that thing? Be curious. Because that is what your story is about.”

I am writing an essay about romantic comedies. Here is a piece about romantic comedy leads.
Pretty and handsome are allowed in romantic comedies. Hot? Not so much. Here is my theory about romantic comedy leads:
He has to be hot but not too hot. Bonus points for “cute.” I have this theory that people don’t want to see extremely pretty people fall in love. Have you ever noticed that? It’s why you will never see Megan Fox in a romantic comedy lead. To all of us watching these movies, really hot girls are the ENEMY. Hiss. Boo. GO. MEAN. HOT. GIRL. That’s another thing. Really attractive people often come off as jerks, don’t they? Scarlett Johanson doesn’t look like she would be a particularly sweet girl. Same goes for Bradley Cooper. Bradley, you can smile all you want but you still look like you would cheat on me with my best friend.
I am taking a course by my friend Denise. It’s called Manifesting Your Soulmate. Do I want to manifest my soul mate? Uh, not particularly. In fact, if he were to materialize right here in front of me, I wouldn’t know WHAT to do with him BUT after listening to her webinar, I was sold. Sounds like preparing for a soul-mate takes a LOT of self-love and that is what we are here for right? RIGHT?!?! It is way to specific for me to manifest Shia Labouf and Tyrese as my soulmates, I am guessing. I should probably manifest something else.
I am going to do EVERYTHING she tells me to do. Even the woo-woo stuff. We are starting with a list of romantic intanglements. Uhhh? As the Bud Lite commercial says, here we go! A Bud Light might help.
