00:01:12her bright blue eyes searching the night sky
00:01:15she wondered if a purpose was something you were born with
00:01:19a calling that tugged at you from deep inside
00:01:22or if it was simply the name you gave to whatever it was you ultimately fell into
00:01:26to lend it an importance it might not deserve

00:01:58prove them wrong

00:02:04and then forward them your sales numbers anonymously

00:07:58there was a woman in Duluth
00:08:00who spelled Catherine with a Q
00:08:02now I always ask
00:08:12the main difference between a cat and a lie
00:08:15is that the cat has only nine lives
00:08:17the main difference between a cat and a lie
00:08:19is that the cat has only nine lives

00:14:22we need to establish some ground rules
00:14:24the first being
00:14:25don't touch my stuff
00:14:26second
00:14:27go to sleep
00:14:28and
00:14:31don't ever

00:14:35I'm someone's wife
00:14:37I don't care
00:14:38you're not my wife
00:14:39I just don't feel comfortable
00:14:45that's not the way to do it
00:14:47if you don't want to do it
00:14:48you're not my wife
00:14:49The first being, don't touch my stuff.
00:14:50The second being, don't touch my stuff.
00:14:53Who was that in all those pictures?
00:14:55It was Paul.
00:14:56Paul Walsh?
00:14:59How do you know that name?
00:15:01From the dedication in the front of the book
00:15:04for Paul Walsh with blood?
00:15:05Right.
00:15:08What happened to him?
00:15:09That's none of your business.
00:15:12Bring it out when it's ready.
00:15:19I'll be right back.
00:15:47Skye, I'm really sorry.
00:15:49It's just, sometimes I'm too curious for my own good,
00:15:52and I just, I have a problem with boundaries,
00:15:54but knowing that I upset you, it makes me feel really bad.
00:15:58Okay, stop.
00:16:03♪♪♪♪
00:16:10I think we could all use a little time out.
00:16:12I haven't dusted these off in forever.
00:16:20Don't get too many visitors out here.
00:16:25Middle of nowhere is great for writing,
00:16:28but terrible for company.
00:16:30And no one can hear you scream.
00:16:34Yeah, let's not do that.
00:16:43So, what did we do for fun in, um...
00:16:47Uh, where are you from again?
00:16:49Alaska.
00:16:52Your family was okay with you coming all this way
00:16:54just to get a book signed?
00:16:57I don't really have a family.
00:17:00I've been on my own for a while now.
00:17:03It's been a hard couple of years.
00:17:05My mom died, and my dad died shortly after.
00:17:10Damn.
00:17:12Finding the book, it helped me get through them.
00:17:18When I looked at Maya, I saw myself.
00:17:22It was like things finally made sense for me.
00:17:27You've just had such a profound impact on my life,
00:17:30and even if it meant selling everything I owned
00:17:33and leaving everything else behind,
00:17:37I knew I had to meet you.
00:17:50Shoot.
00:18:00Paul is my fiancé.
00:18:04We met at a writing retreat I was running.
00:18:09He proposed to me over there under that tree.
00:18:18Six months later, he walked into our living room with a gun
00:18:26and put a bullet in his head.
00:18:34So I packed up every piece of him and put it in the attic.
00:18:41Because screw him, right?
00:18:47Okay.
00:18:49No title?
00:18:51I haven't thought of one.
00:18:53Okay.
00:18:55Fantasy, YA.
00:18:57It's sort of a mystery, I guess.
00:19:01How far along are you?
00:19:04There's three chapters left to write.
00:19:06And you're stuck?
00:19:08I don't have a resolution.
00:19:11If it's a mystery, you really need to have the end in mind from the start.
00:19:15Oh.
00:19:17I guess I thought I could just wait and see how it all turned out.
00:19:21That's a bold strategy.
00:19:24No title, no ending.
00:19:26Where are all my damn pens?
00:19:31I'm doing everything wrong, aren't I?
00:19:35Your first novel is supposed to be bad.
00:19:37You need to just get it out of your system.
00:19:40Next one will be good?
00:19:43Uh, no.
00:19:49You have a really beautiful house.
00:19:52Thanks.
00:19:55These are cool.
00:19:58These are cool?
00:20:00Where'd you get them?
00:20:03Oh, they belonged to the previous owner.
00:20:05He was pretentious.
00:20:08So why'd you keep them up?
00:20:11I am also pretentious.
00:20:15How long have you lived here?
00:20:18A few years.
00:20:20Was it hard to stay after Paul killed himself?
00:20:25Sharing time is over. That subject is officially off limits.
00:20:32What's your book about?
00:20:36Huh?
00:20:38The new one that you mentioned at the reading.
00:20:40So Dark.
00:20:43The waves. So Dark, the waves.
00:20:47It's about guilt, loss, the intrinsic dishonesty of the human condition.
00:20:55What does that mean?
00:21:00I'm trying something different.
00:21:03Is there a reason you don't want to write another Maya book?
00:21:06There are a lot of reasons.
00:21:10Do you not have any ideas?
00:21:12I have a great idea. How about we stop talking about this?
00:21:16Sorry. I'm just a little nervous.
00:21:25All right. Holly with a Y.
00:21:29Let's see what you got.
00:22:24What do you think?
00:22:46It's pretty rough.
00:22:48Oh.
00:23:04But it's not unsolvable.
00:23:07I think with a lot of work we can put this thing into shape.
00:23:11Yeah? Thank you so much.
00:23:22It's getting pretty late. I should find a motel.
00:23:33Sorry. It's just...
00:23:38Yeah, it is getting late.
00:23:40Why don't you just stay here for a few days?
00:23:44You know, we can roll up our sleeves and really whip this thing into shape.
00:23:50I only have the 2,000.
00:23:54We can figure something out.
00:23:58That's very generous of you.
00:24:02The guest bedroom is upstairs, the first door on the right.
00:24:07Do you have any questions for me before I go to bed, like where the clean towels are?
00:24:11No.
00:24:12Great, because I don't think I have any clean towels, so...
00:24:16Actually, could I stay down here for a while and listen to some of those?
00:24:23Yeah. Knock yourself out.
00:24:28The turntable's on the piano.
00:24:30Thanks.
00:25:00Chelsea, I'm working on something new.
00:25:28Okay.
00:25:43Not that one.
00:26:11Pick another one, okay?
00:26:13Did I do something wrong?
00:26:38Okay.
00:26:53I'm waiting. I'm screaming.
00:26:59I'm waiting for you to let me go.
00:27:05This sweet distraction.
00:27:11Waking you is tending to my harmful chain reaction.
00:27:20I'm beating myself out of time.
00:27:50I'm sorry.
00:28:19Morning.
00:28:29Hey, can you...
00:28:30Oh, yeah.
00:28:31Sorry.
00:28:32It's fine.
00:28:34How did you sleep?
00:28:35Like a log.
00:28:39Glad to hear it.
00:28:42Are we okay?
00:28:44I feel like I keep making these mistakes.
00:28:46It's over. Forget it.
00:28:48I have.
00:28:49You're out of coffee.
00:28:51And eggs.
00:28:55Who needs to eat, right?
00:28:57I found this in the back of the cabinet.
00:28:59I left you some, but there wasn't much left.
00:29:03I have business in town. I can hit the grocery store before I get home, so...
00:29:08Any requests?
00:29:09No, thank you.
00:29:12How long will you be gone?
00:29:15Most of the day.
00:29:17All right.
00:29:20This should keep you busy.
00:29:26Take a look. We can talk when I get back.
00:29:29It's a good start.
00:29:31You really think so?
00:29:33Wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it.
00:29:37You think I should add a love interest?
00:29:40Gotta know your audience.
00:29:43You trust me, right?
00:29:46Of course.
00:29:49Has anyone else given you any input on the draft?
00:29:52Oh, no. You're the first person I've shown it to.
00:29:56Perfect.
00:29:58Let's just keep it between the two of us for now.
00:30:02Until it's done.
00:30:06Before I forget, uh, the money you mentioned.
00:30:11Yeah?
00:30:13Do I... have it?
00:30:16Oh, yeah, right. Of course.
00:30:19One sec.
00:30:44Uh, this is all I have on me, but I can get more.
00:30:50This is fine for now.
00:30:54Do me a favor. Email me your file.
00:30:57I need to reformat it.
00:31:00Reformat?
00:31:02The margins are too wide, the font is too big,
00:31:05it's throwing off the page count.
00:31:07It's just the first draft.
00:31:10You want to do this correctly, right?
00:31:13I mean, I thought you said you wanted to be a writer.
00:31:15I do.
00:31:17Well, this is what writers do.
00:31:20You're paying me a lot of money, Holly,
00:31:22but if you'd rather I just mail it in.
00:31:25No, of course not. I'll send it right away.
00:31:28Great.
00:31:34Leave off the title page for now.
00:31:37Until we can think of something catchy.
00:31:40Well, actually, I had some ideas I wanted to run by you,
00:31:43like, uh, Disappear, Anchor,
00:31:46or, I don't know, maybe Fangirl.
00:31:49Good start.
00:31:52Keep thinking.
00:32:07Chelsea?
00:32:09Hey, do you have a minute?
00:32:10I never have a minute.
00:32:12I have a new book for you.
00:32:14I've been working on it a while.
00:32:15I didn't want to jinx it by telling you.
00:32:17You know I hate surprises.
00:32:19You'll like this one.
00:32:20I think it's really something special.
00:32:23Look, no offense, but that was the pitch for your last book,
00:32:26and we all know how that turned out.
00:32:30Look, I'm sending it to you now.
00:32:32Keep doing what you're doing and read it, okay?
00:33:02Okay.
00:33:23Should be all of it.
00:33:25I really appreciate you grabbing this for me.
00:33:27Oh, what are neighbors for?
00:33:29You might want to read the one from the electric company.
00:33:31It's towards the bottom.
00:33:35I did not go through your mail.
00:33:37It's just the envelope is very bright.
00:33:40Orange.
00:33:41I think it's a final notice.
00:33:44I'll do that.
00:33:46Thanks again.
00:33:47I owe you one.
00:33:48Oh, since you offered.
00:33:50We're having a big fundraiser at the end of the month
00:33:53to send the high school football team off to state.
00:33:56Go Wolfpack!
00:33:58Anyway, maybe we can get a few of your autographed books to auction off.
00:34:03I'll pay for them.
00:34:05Sure, okay.
00:34:07Oh, wonderful.
00:34:13Oh, you should look at the gas bill, too.
00:34:23It's just very bright.
00:34:28Jesus.
00:34:58Oh, my God.
00:35:28Fuck.
00:35:59Hey, I made a breakthrough in chapter 21.
00:36:03What are those pictures doing out?
00:36:05Oh, I put them there.
00:36:07Thought it might help.
00:36:09What right do you have to meddle in my personal life?
00:36:12I'm sorry.
00:36:14You're here to fix your book.
00:36:15You're not here to fix me.
00:36:21I didn't mean to upset you,
00:36:24but it's not good to hold on to pain.
00:36:27Locking memories of him in the attic isn't going to help you heal.
00:36:32He'll never be able to move past what happened until you face it head on.
00:36:37Maybe you wouldn't have to drink this much.
00:36:39I drink because I like it.
00:36:41Seems like you need it.
00:36:46Who are you to say that to me? You've known me two days.
00:36:49I've learned a lot about you.
00:36:52God, I totally get it now.
00:36:54No wonder you don't have any family.
00:36:56I'm glad I couldn't get away from you fast enough.
00:36:59How could you say that?
00:37:01Yeah, not so fun, is it?
00:37:03When people make assumptions.
00:37:05Another valuable life lesson free of charge.
00:37:08You're nothing like I thought you'd be.
00:37:10I will never meet your idols, kid.
00:37:15Damn.
00:37:17Is it a fuse?
00:37:20No, it's what happens when you don't pay the electric bill.
00:37:26Oh.
00:37:56Oh.
00:38:27Oh.
00:38:35Brought you these.
00:38:37Thanks.
00:38:42Just remember to blow them out before you go to bed.
00:38:44Of course.
00:38:50I'll call the electric company in the morning, work something out.
00:38:54I have a few more hours left on my computer.
00:38:57I'll just write by the candlelight like the pioneers used to do.
00:39:02You do that.
00:39:14Have you read it yet?
00:39:18Yes, I realize it doesn't have a title.
00:39:20It's just, um, I was thinking maybe Fangirl.
00:39:27Yeah, just read it, okay?
00:39:29It's going to be the book that turns my career around.
00:39:50Okay.
00:40:06How's it going, Captain?
00:40:08Well, I'm having a bit of trouble here.
00:40:11You're not even building it in a bottle?
00:40:14I don't think you can do better.
00:40:16I know I can.
00:40:19You just need to have patience.
00:40:24Okay, see that right there?
00:40:26It's not helping my concentration.
00:40:32I think we did it, though.
00:40:34What would you do without me?
00:40:38I don't want to find out.
00:40:49I love you.
00:40:52I love you.
00:41:17Hey, knock it off!
00:41:22Phew.
00:41:28Is everything all right?
00:41:33You tell me.
00:41:36Everything's fine.
00:41:40Okay, well, I'm going to need you to stop whatever it is you're doing in there, then.
00:41:46What I'm doing?
00:41:48The banging. What is with the banging?
00:41:52Huh? I'm not banging anything.
00:41:55Okay, well, then if you're not, then who is? It's not me.
00:42:01I didn't hear anything.
00:42:04Are you serious?
00:42:07What did it sound like?
00:42:10Like banging, loud banging on the wall.
00:42:14Honestly, I haven't been banging anything, and I haven't heard any banging.
00:42:24No, don't even.
00:42:28Maybe it was the wind, or some tree branches.
00:42:33Are you messing with me?
00:42:35What is this?
00:42:37No, no. I'm not doing that.
00:42:44I'm not really sure what you want me to say.
00:42:49Never mind.
00:42:51Just go back to bed.
00:43:13Phew.
00:43:15Love in the Western world.
00:43:17I don't understand.
00:43:19I'm sorry.
00:43:21I've been thinking about you.
00:43:23I'm sorry.
00:43:25I'm sorry.
00:43:27I'm sorry.
00:43:29I'm sorry.
00:43:31I'm sorry.
00:43:33I'm sorry.
00:43:35I'm sorry.
00:43:37I'm sorry.
00:43:39I'm sorry.
00:43:42I'm sorry.
00:43:44I don't understand.
00:44:14I don't understand.
00:44:44I don't understand.
00:45:14I don't understand.
00:45:36It's how much?
00:45:39Can't I make a partial payment or get on some kind of plan?
00:45:44Can I speak with the manager?
00:46:10What?
00:46:23Who is this girl?
00:46:39Who is this girl?
00:46:41Who is this girl?
00:46:43Who is this girl?

00:48:05Who is this girl?
00:48:35Hello?
00:48:51Hello?
00:48:53I see you finally got your act together.
00:48:55What?
00:48:56The book!
00:49:00So you like it?
00:49:02Oh, I love it.
00:49:04than that other crap you were trying to peddle.
00:49:07Okay, let's not go crazy.
00:49:09No, no, seriously.
00:49:10It's really great, really inspired stuff.
00:49:14It's not a sequel, but there's a market for this.
00:49:18Is it something you can sell?
00:49:20Are you kidding?
00:49:21I already sent the first few chapters to the publishers.
00:49:24They're all eating crow.
00:49:26We officially have a bidding war.
00:49:29Based on the success of your last book,
00:49:32we're talking six figures, maybe higher.
00:49:36Do you make a conditional?
00:49:39On what?
00:49:41That they publish So Dark the Waves.
00:49:43Sky.
00:49:44It's gotta be both.
00:49:46All right, I will run it by them.
00:49:48How soon before you finish this one?
00:49:58Have you read it yet?
00:50:02Yes, I realize it doesn't have a title.
00:50:04I was thinking maybe Fan Girl.
00:50:10Sky?
00:50:13Just a couple days.
00:50:16There's a few things I need to do first.
00:50:28He's offering.
00:50:29I'm only 18.
00:50:32Do you ever figure out what that noise was?
00:50:35Yeah, you know, I think you're right.
00:50:36I think it was just a branch.
00:50:39Still pretty windy.
00:50:45Are you going low tech?
00:50:47Oh, my computer's almost dead.
00:50:50I found this in your office.
00:50:52I hope it's okay.
00:50:53Sure.
00:50:57The power should be back soon.
00:51:01It's really beautiful out here.
00:51:02Mm-hmm.
00:51:03I can see why you'd be inspired.
00:51:05Yeah.
00:51:06It's easy to write when it's the only thing to do, so.
00:51:13Look, I've had a rough couple of days.
00:51:15I didn't mean to take it out on you.
00:51:18No, it's okay.
00:51:20I understand.
00:51:23I can be pushy.
00:51:24I know that about myself.
00:51:27And you know a lot about me, too.
00:51:30But I feel like I hardly know anything about you.
00:51:35There's not much to tell.
00:51:37I'm sure that's not true.
00:51:41You have a boyfriend?
00:51:45Some strapping young moose hunter
00:51:47who is breathlessly awaiting your return.
00:51:50I had a boyfriend in high school, but we broke up.
00:51:52And I don't know if I'll ever get back to him.
00:51:56When his family moved away?
00:51:59Oh, man.
00:52:00That's too bad.
00:52:05Well, you know.
00:52:06Happy love has no history and all that.
00:52:13It's Deirdre's month.
00:52:16Love in the Western world.
00:52:20I've read it.
00:52:24So.
00:52:27What do you do for work?
00:52:31I used to work at a convenience store,
00:52:33but I quit before I came out here.
00:52:36Why?
00:52:38I don't know.
00:52:39There was a couple of reasons.
00:52:45I was ready to move on anyway.
00:52:48Then I saw you were going on your book tour.
00:52:52I took it as a sign.
00:52:56Maybe it was time for a fresh start.
00:53:00So you just left?
00:53:03Yeah.
00:53:07That must've been hard.
00:53:11Leaving the place that you grew up.
00:53:14Leaving all of your friends.
00:53:17I don't have any friends.
00:53:19Oh, come on.
00:53:20Everybody has friends.
00:53:23I've always been kind of a loner, I guess.
00:53:26There must be someone.
00:53:30Someone who misses you.
00:53:34Not really.
00:53:49Sky?
00:53:50Yeah?
00:53:51I was wondering if you could maybe drive me into town.
00:53:54But you're hitting your stride.
00:53:56You don't wanna lose your rhythm.
00:53:58No.
00:54:00It's just, I wasn't really planning to be here so long.
00:54:02I feel bad eating your food.
00:54:05You're my guest.
00:54:09If I go into town,
00:54:09I can take out the rest of the money I owe you.
00:54:12I know you're good for it.
00:54:15You're so close to the end.
00:54:16Why stop now?
00:54:21Power's back.
00:54:26Come on.
00:54:27It made you some lunch?
00:54:56Thanks.
00:54:57Yeah.
00:54:58Is this the last chapter?
00:54:59Most of it.
00:55:00Home stretch?
00:55:01Yeah.
00:55:02Keep going until you're done, okay?
00:55:03I don't want to have to tie you to that chair.
00:55:04Yeah.
00:55:05Okay.
00:55:06Okay.
00:55:07Okay.
00:55:08Okay.

00:58:24Oh my God.
00:58:25Can I help you?
00:58:26I brought the books.
00:58:40Oh.
00:58:42You have something on you.
00:58:44Happens to me all the time when I garden.
00:58:45Do you know, right now is not a really good time?
00:58:48Oh, I'm sorry
00:58:51Do you have company? No, no, no, it's just me. I I'm in the middle of something. It'll only take a minute
00:58:56I was just so excited that you agreed to help out with the auction that I bought off the store
00:59:01I thought we could get him signing right up on the website
00:59:06Okay, sure. Yeah, let me see that. Here you go. You're an angel
00:59:10Okay, so you have a pen?
00:59:16I don't
00:59:19Okay
00:59:38I really do appreciate this. Sure, sure. Oh
00:59:43Could you make that last one out for my daughter Emily? That's with two E's and two M's
00:59:48What a beautiful name, you know, you really should come into town more often
00:59:52We'd love to have you at the event. We're getting a band from San Dimas
00:59:57Thanks, I will try to do that
00:59:59All alone out here by yourself every day. I think I'd go a little stir crazy
01:00:07You need help with that no, no
01:00:18I
01:00:27Said no one
01:00:49I
01:00:53Have something for you to look at
01:00:58This is great, I
01:01:01Was a little reluctant about the love interest suggestion, but I think it worked it's a crowd pleaser
01:01:09The puppy was a fun addition I named him boots my boots
01:01:15When I was little we had a dog named boots
01:01:19Well
01:01:21Right what you know, I guess
01:01:23I'm glad you decided to keep those up. I
01:01:31Realized you had a point
01:01:33I
01:01:47Want to let an award
01:01:51Who knows who cares I
01:01:55Think you do
01:01:58And you act like it doesn't affect you but I think it matters to you what people think
01:02:06You've got me all figured out
01:02:10Seems like you resent it might as well
01:02:14It was supposed to open the door and not define my career
01:02:19Is it really so bad if it does I mean it's touched so many people
01:02:24No one wants to be a one-hit wonder
01:02:34Can I sure
01:02:46Do you want to hear a story
01:02:48Always it's been a while. I might mix up some of the details. I'll keep that in mind
01:02:57Around 1200 AD in a small Chinese village
01:03:03This man was found dead in a wheat field
01:03:09He had deep deep slashes
01:03:11And
01:03:15He had deep deep slashes
01:03:19Here
01:03:22And here
01:03:28He bled out in the field
01:03:31Make sense
01:03:33they determined the murder weapon was most likely a hand sickle, but
01:03:37In a village full of wheat farmers almost everyone had one there was no obvious suspects no witnesses
01:03:47What did they do
01:03:49The town's magistrate had all the farmers line up their sickles against the wall
01:03:53Leave them out in the hot Sun
01:03:56By the end of the day one of the sickles was covered in flies
01:04:00The blood
01:04:03The blood
01:04:05And even though the blade had been wiped off traces still remained
01:04:10The owner broke down and confessed
01:04:14I think they hung him. I'm not sure that parts fuzzy
01:04:22My dad told me that
01:04:25That's a hell of a bedtime story
01:04:28That's a hell of a bedtime story
01:04:31It always stuck with me
01:04:35It's a good reminder
01:04:38Of what that no matter what you do to fight it the truth always has a way of coming out
01:04:48So, what do you think about what the chapter does it work
01:04:57You it's getting there try these
01:05:27You

01:11:14Didn't think you'd be up this fast
01:11:17The back of the bottle didn't say how long you'd be out, so I wasn't sure I
01:11:22Wasn't just gonna sit in here with you and wait that would be weird right
01:11:28Found the key to the garage and your purse

01:12:11Paul
01:12:13What does he have to do with anything
01:12:17How did he die

01:12:27How did he die I
01:12:32Told you how we died we'll start from the beginning
01:12:37Paul Walsh
01:12:40Bought that 357 and shot himself wrong you killed Paul Walsh
01:12:52No you shot him and you made it look like a suicide
01:13:00No, I'm Maya

01:17:18But you thought you had it all figured out steal dead man's book no one would ever know
01:17:29Because Paul Walsh was my father
01:17:32Have any children he had a whole family till he left us
01:17:39How do you walk out on a seven-year-old girl

01:17:59He sent me an email
01:18:02Very first draft of his very first novel
01:18:06When he told me I had inspired him to write
01:18:12My sat the edge of the dock bright blue eyes gazing the night sky
01:18:19Imagine my surprise
01:18:21When I passed the bookstore six months later
01:18:25There in the front display was my school
01:18:28Only had a different author's name on the cover. I
01:18:31Thought it had to be a coincidence
01:18:38Every word was the same
01:19:01There's bullets in at this time I
01:19:08Didn't kill him I
01:19:12Didn't know he was struggling. He never told me he never said a word. I don't believe it's the truth
01:19:21He killed himself with the gun you're holding
01:19:27Yeah, he told me he loved me too
01:19:31We had a plan a
01:19:34future
01:19:35But he did it anyway

01:19:54He left me and
01:19:57He left you I
01:19:59Don't owe him a damn thing. I
01:20:05Was angry and alone, but I didn't kill him
01:20:15But you were gonna kill me

01:20:29It's a confession saying that you didn't write the book that Paul Walsh is the author of Maya's fault
01:20:39Sign it this won't bring him back. Shut up. I
01:20:48Said sign it
01:20:56Now get up and go sit by the way
