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!

Michael

Back in Limbo and Feeling Guilty

by Michael B. Druxman on 04/07/13

April 8, 2013

This past week, I haven't been writing much of anything...except for a review of WOMEN IN LOVE, the BBC miniseries that is now available on DVD. You can read that review on the Best Bets on DVD site by clicking the link in the Introduction section of this page.

THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS anthology is finished and selling well on Amazon, and I've finished correcting the proof for my 2nd memoir, LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD, so now I'm just sort of floating; not sure what I want to do next. And, whenever I'm not actively writing on a project, I tend to feel like a guilty bum.

I have been writing a line here and there on a new play, but the truth is that I'm not really committed to it. Frankly, I don't know if I want to go ahead with it or not. I've also thought about turning one of my unsold screenplays into a novel, but I'm not getting too excited about that prospect either.

Maybe I just need to take a long break from writing.

In the meantime, this week I'm meeting with a local actress who wants to stage LOMBARD here in Austin in September. She wants me to direct the production, so on Wednesday, we're going to go look at the theater she has in mind.

On Friday, I'm doing a live interview with Mary Jane Popp, a popular and very nice radio personality from Sacramento. We're going to discuss THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS.

You have a creative week.

Michael
