HI all. I"m a former standup who has written 15 books but am returning to something I did in the early 90s, writing spec scripts. Currently, i'm working on the screenplay of the first novel in my Johnny Lycan: Werewolf PI series. Looking to get smarter and meet fellow ink-stained wretches.

You are in the right place. I am confident the right person will show up in your feed at the right time. That's how this place rolls.

A Werewolf Private Investigator? That is a whole different take. I could see that working. What if he has to close a case on a full moon?

Well, peter, you'd have to either read the book or live long enough for the movie to get made

Michael, I left standup work (and I was a part-timer at that) to accept a job offer that led me to move from Omaha, NE to Sioux City, IA: I got an offer to manage a used-record store.
At least running a store gave me a steady income. (Oh, well...)

My transition into a full-time comic resulted from a typical mid-life crisis. Instead of abandoning everything for a younger woman, I did it for the quiet of life on the road.

Michael, my midlife crisis resulted in the first of my 6 novels. Writing The Count of the Sahara was way cheaper than a corvette or a cocktail waitress and the resulting divorce.
