Letters Continued from page B-1 "What if the soldier fell in love through these letters but what he didn't know, is the girl who he's writing to isn't the girl who's writing back," she said. "It calls into question how much you can actually know about someone from a letter." McMorris said she first thought of writing a movie script because of her past experiences as a TV host and actress. How- ever, despite having no creative writing experience, McMorris soon started writing her book. "It's easy to write when you don't really know what you're doing," she said. "I thought I could tackle a book rather than ¢ a screenplay." McMorris said that she had no idea how hard the project would be, or how long it would take. "I was blissfully ignorant. If I had known how hard the craft was or what the industry was like I would have run away screaming," she said. "I started writing this a little over five years ago when I was pregnant with my second child. For some reason I thought I'd have a lot of time." Five years after beginning her project, she said that she has learned a lot about writing, and a lot about her grandmother. "(People who lived through WWII) think they did nothing special, and they're so humble and there's so much to learn from them," she said. "My grand- mother worked at a battery fac- tory and worked as a soda jerk ... She's gone through so much in her life, this woman has sur- vived world wars, she grew up on a farm where her mother died when she was 9 years old, she raised a family, she walked up to eight miles to school every day." In the end, McMorris said the whole project was worth it, and today, she brings her children to visit McPherren in Hoodsport too. "Letters from Home," comes out on February 22. A portion of all proceeds goes to "United through Reading," A program that records delployed members of the military reading bedtime stories to their children.
