Not Quite Hotcakes...But Nice

As those of you who follow this blog and/or my activities know, about 5 months ago, I published six of my one-person plays via Amazon's CreateSpace.
I'm talking about my plays about Clara Bow, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Spencer Tracy and Orson Welles.
Three months later, I also made these acting editions available on Kindle.
Since then, none of these scripts have been selling like hotcakes, but to be perfectly honest, they have all been selling regularly. Certainly I'm not going to get rich on the royalties, but I earn enough every month to pay for a nice lunch or dinner...and that's just fine with me.
The "big" payoff will come if/when theaters decide to produce one of these shows. I've already licensed a production on LOMBARD to be done in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Carole's home town. They plan far ahead at that theater, so the show will not be until the summer of 2013.
This week, I've been meeting with the local filmmakers who are interested in doing a short movie of my story, THE OLD COOT, which I would direct. They still have to raise the money, but these people have a lot of enthusiasm, so fingers crossed.
You have a creative day.
Michael
