Nope. It's a line from a movie, but not that one.
This is what I was thinking of:
Sam Weber[Sam enters a room where Nick is up late watching TV] What's this?
Nick: I'm not sure.
Sam Weber: What's it about?
Nick: I don't know.
Sam Weber: [Sam shakes his head, pats Nick on the shoulder, then sits in a nearby chair] Who's that?
Nick: I think the guy in the hat did something terrible.
[shot of TV shows a man being thrown through the glass window of a door]
Sam Weber: Like what?
Nick: You're so analytical! Sometimes you just have to let art... flow... over you.
[Sam rolls his eyes]
It's funny because All the men in the movie they are watching are wearing hats.

That's a great scene. I was referring to the Danny Devito character in Throw Mama from the Train. He writes a story and that's the plot. "The guy in the hat kills the other guy in the hat."
This is totally off topic here, but is there some reason why everyone keeps referring to me as "my child" or "my dear" and things that seem to indicate that I am, well, an adolescent? Cuz honestly, I am an adult. I've been out of college for several years now and I'm even married and stuff! Reallies!!!
I find this slightly weird because it's actually something I wrote into my novel-- my MC (male) is always annoyed because people call him "dear."

lol, I think she said my child because she's indicating she is God and that she wrote it.
Orion's Key: On the second world of the Athena system, ancient testing ground for the most dangerous biological weapons in human history, Armon and a handful of strangers from Earth struggle to make their way to the eastern continent, where a powerful artifact holds the key to their escape.
The Blight: The people of Spruce Creek, Alaska unite in the face of the most devastating epidemic in North American history.

I am and I did!
(Wait 'til you read the sequel...it's a hoot)!

Well, I already knew Scarletpeaches was God. But does she have to call me child???
perhaps you should pray about it, therein lies the answer...But does she have to call me child???

There, there, dear.
ats arm condescendingly:I won't answer. I'm in a huff.
There, there, dear.
I'll smite thee, you know. I really will.

I fear this might be almost as wishy-washy as "three women live through their lives, contemplating their future," but:
Fourteen-year-old Nickie learns that her world isn't as small as she once thought when she begins to see her small, midwestern town through the eyes of an aging beauty queen.

Here goes nothing.
My WIP - A young woman becomes an assassin's target, and has to try to survive long enough to unmask the killer, learn to lead a country, and work up the nerve to come out from under the bed.
My project that is in the outline stage - A police detective enters the gritty world of fairy strip clubs and unicorn pit fights to learn who is murdering supernatural creatures to harvest body parts. (My working title for this is Fairy-A-Go-Go.)
