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!

Sunday Sex

by Michael B. Druxman on 08/22/11

August 23, 2011

A man wonders if having  sex on the Sabbath is a sin because he is not sure if sex is work or play.  So he goes to a priest and asks for his opinion on this question.

After consulting the  bible, the priest says, "My son, after an exhaustive search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on Sundays."

The man thinks: "What does a priest know about sex?"

So he goes to a minister, who after all is a married man and experienced in this matter.  He queries the minister and receives the same reply. 

Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath!


Not pleased with the reply, he seeks out the ultimate authority: a man of thousands of years tradition and knowledge.  In other words, he goes to a rabbi.

The Rabbi ponders the question, then states, "My son, sex is definitely play."

The man replies, "Rabbi, how can you be so sure when so many others tell me sex is work?"

The Rabbi softly speaks, "If  sex were work, my wife would have the maid do it."

You have a creative day.

Update on Cinderella

by Michael B. Druxman on 08/18/11

August 19, 2011

Cinderella is now 95 years old.

After a fulfilling life with the now-dead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship.

One sunny afternoon, out of nowhere appears the Fairy Godmother.

Cinderella says, "Fairy Godmother, what are you  doing here after all these years?"

The fairy godmother replies, "Cinderella, you have lived an exemplary life since I last saw you.  Is there  anything for which your heart still yearns?"

Cinderella is taken aback and overjoyed, and after some thoughtful consideration, she utters her first wish: "The prince was wonderful, but not much of an investor.  I'm living hand-to-mouth on my disability checks, and I wish I were wealthy beyond comprehension."

Instantly her rocking chair turns into solid gold.

Cinderella says, "Ooh, thank you, Fairy Godmother!"

The fairy godmother replies, "It is the least that I can do.  What do you want for your second wish?"

Cinderella looks down at her frail body, and says, "I wish I were young and full of the beauty and youth  I once had."

At once, her wish becomes reality, and her beautiful  young visage returns. Cinderella feels stirrings inside  her that have been dormant for years.

And then the fairy godmother speaks once more: "You have one more wish; what shall it be?"

Cinderella looks over to the frightened cat in the  corner and says, "I wish you to transform Bob, my old cat, into a kind and handsome young man."

Magically, Bob suddenly undergoes so fundamental a change in his biological make-up that, when he stands before her, he is a man so beautiful the likes of him  neither she nor the world has ever seen.

The fairy godmother says, "Congratulations, Cinderella, enjoy your new life."

With a blazing shock of bright blue electricity, the fairy godmother is gone as suddenly as she appeared.

For a few eerie moments, Bob and Cinderella look into each other's eyes. Cinderella sits, breathless, gazing at the most beautiful, stunningly perfect man she has ever seen.

Then Bob walks over to Cinderella, who sits transfixed  in her rocking chair, & holds her close in his young muscular arms.  He leans in close, blowing her golden hair with his warm breath as he whispers, "Bet you're sorry now that you cut my nuts off."

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

Michael
