I know they will always come and go during bouts of fear about work, writing and being a woman who works and writes in this industry. I claim these moments, but don't allow them more than one hour of indulgence. Then, I open my computer and I start writing again. Because in order to help overcome a stereotype, I have to do my part. I must participate in the physical action, in the contribution. Or else, I'm not allowed to have those "Woe is me" moments. As much as they suck, they also remind me I'm a part of a larger community and there's someone else curled up chanting a mantra of her own. But we both go back to committing our words, feelings, beliefs, and characters to paper because we do know that despite the obstacles there are people out their (both men and women) who are listening, reading, and championing our ideas. We just need to keep putting our words out there. I have these moments, but I call them my “Woe is me” moments.

I'm friends with one of the writers on your show, and I hated what happened. Your pilot was fantastic, a great premise with far-reaching and exciting possibilities. And the mythology you developed way before production started was inspiring as storytelling and marketing -- I wrote a post about it <a href="http://juliebush.net/2009/07/27/“sargasso-planet”-happily-tricks-internet%C2%A0%C2%A0culturewav-es-blog/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. You deserved more. I'm sure the piece will still turn out great, but it could have and should have been so much bigger. It could have had layers upon layers to explore, and architecture for the fans to seize and build out on their own. Is there a way that could still happen? Julie Jesse,
