【推荐2】As a teenager dreaming of a writing career, I was inspired to discover that two of my favorite movies were both written by a female team: Kirsten and her writing partner, Karen.

I didn’t think they’d take a young writer like me __ . But still, I wrote Kirsten an email letting her know that I had an idea I wanted to __ with her and Karen, and asked if they’d be __ to meet with me.

I didn’t even expect a(an) __ to my email. However, 12 days after I sent it, I received a(an) __ reply from Kirsten.

Her email included this line, which made me __ up from my computer chair: “Karen and I would be honored to __ you and to hear more about everything you're working on.” We met for ___the following week, and after a three-hour meal __ laughs and sisterly advice, a friendship was born.

___, Kirsten and Karen __ the idea I shared with them.

Their __ in my ideas at the earliest stage of my career is something I’ll never forget; it’s what made me believe that I could be a good __ too, just like them. And more importantly, our __ is still going strong all these years later.

In fact, Kirsten is the first person who ever suggested I __ a novel. Actually, she gave me this __ while we were standing on the Teens section of Barnes & Noble, a bookstore where several years later, our __ would sit together on the shelves.

I wish every young writer had someone like Kirsten in their life to help __ them on their way. As I looked at our books hanging out together on the bookstore shelf, I once again though how glad I was that I sent that __ years ago.
