'i've spent the last six years in hollywood development hell selling scripts that never get made and never even get read. before that i was a playwright who had a great run of idea-->script-->production-->next idea, etc. but then i got calls from hollywood, and after a while in the "professional entertainment industry" you realize the middle men have stolen all the control. now my novel--a speculative autobiography entitled ME AGAIN told from the end of my life 120 years in the future--is done and online and people are actually READING it.'
