Doesn’t that always seem to be the way things go, esp. around the holidays? Right now, I’m doing battle with a cold bug going around, I had a bitcoin scammer hijack my. “X” (fka Twitter) account I’ve had since. 2009, making it impossible for me to get it back (if you’ve been following me on there, unfollow/block @da_fishman, and start following me on my new account, @dafishman_6191), my writing career has seemingly stalled and I’m not sure how to get it going again, and on top of it all, I’m dealing with several k worth of hospital bills from this summer not covered by my insurance..
Oh, I’m sorry — beg pardon! I neglected to introduce myself: Christopher Neal Fisher, 62 (will be 63 in less than a month), married, retired, and for the past few years trying in earnest to do the one thing I’ve wanted to do ever since I was in first grade: become a screenwriter. My main project is a Southern Gothic Soap Opera set in the Acadiana region of Louisiana, with the working title of Bayou Noir. And what is Bayou Noir like? Think equal parts Faulkner, Dark Shadows, and The Sopranos. I also have some ideas for film shorts I’m doing research on as well, and another TV series idea or two up my sleeve — but Bayou Noir is my main thing, the thing I’ve worked the hardest and longest on, and the one I’m most determined to see become made as a series. To that end, I have an appointment in the near future with a producer on here to see if a game plan for Bayou Noir going forward can be worked out. I chose them in large part because they were one of the few producers on here who have had experience working on Prime Time and Daytime Soaps, so I’m figuring with that background, they might actually “get” what I’m trying to achieve with Bayou Noir,.
Anyway, that’s who I am, where I am, and what I’m working on. Right now, with a head full of mucous where my brain should be, I think I’m going to sign off for now. Let’s hope 2024 shapes up to be a good year for us all. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it!

Christopher Neal Fisher ah yes, holiday bugs. In Bristol there’s a sickness bug going around all the schools and yes, you probably got it, it has now spread to parents and other adults. Ah well, hopefully it will be all over before we get to the big day! I hope you recover quickly.
