And I thought 'I'm so tired about doing stuff about teenagers.'

But they said, 'We want you to do something about the 'in' crowd.' I thought 'I'll do it if I can make fun of them.' So, we developed this script. It was a pilot for a TV show. And it was about this girl that was completely happy, no matter what happened. And I was really getting into that kind of character.

But nothing happened with it. They passed on it, they didn't get it. And a number of things were sort of falling through. I was just getting very frustrated. So I switched agents and when I had my new agent, they said: 'What have you been working on?'

So I showed Ken Stovitz, one of the agents there, this pilot. And he said, 'This is too good for TV. You should make this into a feature.' She follows up on the connections to the novel,:I started to think, 'What's the larger context for that kind of a 'nothing can go wrong' 'always looks through rose colored glasses' kind of girl?'

And I remembered Emma, which I'd read in college. So, I took it out and reread it, and I said: 'Unconsciously, I've been writing an Emma-like character.' Because I've always loved it and part of it had sort of stored it away in my brain.

So I really related to her and got into it. And the plot was so brilliantly laid out in Emma. So I tried to take all the things that were in this sort of pretty 1800s world and see what would that be like if it was in.Associate producer recalls what the proposed TV show's initial title:No Worries was the original television script that Amy wrote.
