JESSA AND ANDY

Jessa

“We have exciting news for you. Are you sitting down?”

My heart beats fast, knowing big things happen every time my agent calls me and starts the conversation this way. It’s been six years since I took the leap of faith and decided to put pen to paper. Well, fingers to keyboard. The writing journey has had many ups and downs, but overall, I’m living my dream, and Ingrid’s call has me on edge.

“Yes, Ingrid, what is it?”

“Okay, here goes,” she says with excitement. “The Endless Possibility of You and Me has been picked up for a series.”

“Wait, what? You mean TV series?”

“Yes, and we’re talking about a multi-million-dollar production with a top streaming service.”

My hands begin to tremble. “I, uh, but how?”

“How? Because you’re an amazing writer, Darling!” Ingrid complements with an enthused tone. “A well-known actress read your book, fell in love, then pitched it to her husband, who happens to own the production company.”

“Ingrid,” I manage to whisper. “This is huge.”

“It sure is. Now, a few things we need to go over. They are happy for you to have full control over the script, and let me tell you, this is not something many producers allow. However, they want to stay authentic to the story.”

“Oh, okay.”

“As for filming, they’re shooting most of the series in Australia. I know you’re thinking about your family,” Ingrid rambles incessantly, “but the production company is willing for you to bring your whole family for an all-expenses stay in Sydney. The actress has a spare house or something for you to live in and a month in Byron Bay.”

“My whole family?” I choke as my head begins to explode from all the information.

“Yes, Jessa. We know you don’t want to leave the kids and your beautiful man behind, so bring them along.”

Ingrid is right. I would never leave my kids behind, nor would I leave them with Andy here. It’s all of us or nothing. We’ve been fortunate to have creative careers in which we can spend time with the kids, but moving to Australia, this would be huge.

It’s literally across the other side of the world.

Ingrid continues to talk with lots of details, but the main one catching my attention is production starting in four weeks.

“Four weeks? What do you mean?”

“Well, casting has to start. Without casting, we have no actors!”

“I get it,” I say, trying to catch my breath. “Listen, Ingrid. Can you send the contract over?”

“Already in your inbox. The lawyers have read over it and given the green light. We just need your signature, and the deal is done.”

I race to my laptop, opening up the screen to my inbox. There it is, the email that will change my career.

“It’s … this is big.”

“Jessa,” Ingrid says more calmly. “It’s big but well overdue. The world needs to see your magic, you understand me?”

I nod, though she can’t see.

“Yeah, let me have a read, okay?”

“Speak soon, and congrats again, Darling. You deserve all this success.”

When the call ends, I open up the attachment and read through the contract.
