What took you so long to get here?
Where have you been all my life?
I’ll tell you where I’ve been.  

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor. 
I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.  
Anything that was a challenge.  I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?     
Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire.  Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog.  But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger.  Keep coming back!

Happy Birthday, David!

 by Michael B. Druxman on 09/22/11

September 23, 2011

My son, David, will be 42-years-old on Sunday (25), which leads me to ask:

"How can I have a 42-year-old son?"

Since I don't write a blog on Sunday: Happy birthday, son!

I finished formatting the JOLSON script for CreateSpace and Kindle.  Now, I'm waiting to receive my review copy to proof.  Hopefully, it will get here by Thursday, so that I can take it with me to Chicago next weekend.  Correcting it will be something to do on the plane.

This is very funny.  It was an e-mail I got this morning:

As a rule, I don't pass along these "add your name" lists that appear in emails, but this one is important.
 
It has been circulating for MONTHS and has been sent to over 25 million people.  We don't want to lose any names on the list so just hit forward and send it on.
 
 Please keep it going!
 
 
To show your support for re-election of President Obama, please go to the end of the list and add your name, and forward this along.
 
1.  Michelle Obama
2.




You have a creative weekend and I'll be back on Monday.

SMART JEWS HAVE BRILLIANT ANSWERS

 by Michael B. Druxman on 09/21/11

September 22, 2011

JEWS  OFTEN HAVE GOOD ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS:

Sir Moses Haim Montefiore (1784-1885), a British Jewish banker and philanthropist, determined defender of human rights and sheriff of London, was once seated at dinner next to an important personality and avowed anti-Semite, who told Sir Moses he had just returned from Japan where they "have neither pigs nor Jews".

Montefiore replied instantly: "Accordingly, you and I should go there so they can have a sample of each."

You have a creative day.

For All The Retirees Out There!

 by Michael B. Druxman on 09/20/11

September 21, 2011

As we get older, we sometimes begin to doubt our ability to "make a difference" in the world.

It is at these times that our hopes are boosted by the remarkable achievements of other "seniors" who have found the courage to take on challenges that would make many of us wither.

Harold Schlumberg is such a person.

QUOTED FROM HAROLD:

“I'm often asked: 'What do you do now that you're retired?'

"Well, I'm fortunate to have a chemical engineering background and one of the things I enjoy most is converting beer, wine, whiskey and port into urine.

"It's rewarding, uplifting, satisfying and fulfilling.  I do it every day and I really love it."

Harold should be an inspiration to us all.

You have a creative day.

Michael
