I actually did a one person campaign from 2019-2022. I was hoping to get plugged into new people or connected anew to people I hadn’t been connected well to in the past. It didn’t really happen. Honestly, I got killed instead.
Really half expected a Hollywood team to offer me even a small deal in development. I did not get one. Now I’ve spent off all kinds of my personal funds to get noticed and properly identified, even for the L.A. court system. No one pulled me aside to chat about anything other than being in trouble with the law over Twitter posts. Decades ago, I was just hoping to meet with people… not be their criminal case. I did not get law enforcement under those terms at all. They’ve treated me like a stranger who broke a law or came close enough to get charged for it.
These past years people behave like they do not want to know me. I’ve been treated like someone to copy cat and dismiss. It also appears they think I have money to pass around and I don’t. No one bothered to get to know me enough to discuss anything vaguely business oriented. I even got the Apple stores more than once in the past year and I was given gang bangers. thugs to speak with, not business-minded people.
Wish people to know I am back at home full time. May take years to pay off debts I’ve accumulated. There is no plan for me to live and work in L.A. or any other city that has a large entertainment community. I’m OUT.
Honestly, I am a wrung out human being. I’ve been over-played by men and women for the entertainment business AND politics my whole life. So overused that I actually sat around drugged and injured more than out being social or working anywhere. Now I’m very retired and people can’t use me like they did. I’m a legal U.S. citizen, pay taxes. I own real and personal property. Mostly people used my identity and forced me to be elsewhere, dead to the world, lifeless, alone.
Is there a MAN who would like to be married to a very small Spielberg legally? If not in a personal way, a professional one at a distance. Someone big enough to yell at other people, remind them I am older and not healthy, can’t participate as a trafficked, fake migrant in society? Vouch for my humanity and character?
I really only achieved influencer status here on planet Earth. While very young people saw how messed up I was getting at the thought I had high earnings being held by others. (Rumor is I had been connected to millions of U.S. dollars before I was six years old. I have no proof of this.) It killed me for work as a future real producer and company executive with associated earnings and power. Bigger people than me had to be in control, and in control of those who were doing too much trouble making. They stepped in when I was very young and even put sabotage hits on my life. Some actually physically and mentally crippled me years at a time. It is why SO IMPORTANT people know I am retired away from the life I had prior to age 50. Why I am so much freer now, and supposed to be free of gang hits for sabotage. No need now. I’m clearly on a small fixed income, and not competition nor desiring to be competitive.
I’ve been a target so long I forgot it was going on. This is why I have NO CAREER. I got ruthlessly snooped, then copy catted before I was even in grade school. I never became a professional at anything. I was forced to sit at home while others talked about MY IDEAS. Some people even capitalized off them. Some came after ME to pay them, even support their families while I had no job and they tried to get one with my ideas. Not a joke.
THE PROBLEM with never owning your own content is that someone else may be running around trying to sell it for themselves or other people. This is a BIG BAD NEWS THING for professional writers and they get protection by peers and professional guilds like The Writers Guild of America. I’m not a member, but I should be at this point.
SNOOPERS are as bad an idea as AI(artificial intelligence) for writers. They are basically saying, “No, we don’t want your writing–as yours.” This sounds very convenient to professionals who do not want to pay for a writer or a writer for paying a ghost writer.
What if a famous writer like Stephen King was known only a decade and then he “went into hiding or stopped writing to take up sports”? What if someone was forcing him NOT to work, NOT to earn, NOT to be attached to his own content? And during the time he is on hiatus or vacation… A NEW writer becomes famous? I believe this happens a lot in the entertainment business. Helping a new writer get started is one thing. Discovering a new talent sounds cool. But what if your favorite writer was forced to sit at home without a computer, no pen, nothing to write with or record their ideas and someone else sat with them day after day… writing notes they dictated and gave it all to someone else to be “famous with”? Would you approve of it? What if they were sitting at home and just finishing a new novel and were attacked, and the novel stolen and given to a different publisher even in another country? SNOOPERS steal things off computers. Hit people steal physical things from homes.
In support of WRITERS… we all, the world… every one of us… should BE HAPPY to pay a writer. Old ones, new ones, good ones… even some not-so-good ones. Not everyone is going to be great at it. In the United States, the Writers Guild is on strike as I write this. Yes, I am writing on my own. The professional writers who create content for screens are asking for content producers to renegotiate their contract work and give AI a backseat, maybe even toss it out of professional writing work.

THIS SHOULD SCARE people that theft of content happens so regularly that it became acceptable along the way to law enforcement. What if the content was from a doctor? Or a scientist? And you, the injured goes to a specialist who has some of the ideas from a real doctor and pretends to know medicine–and charges you thousands of dollars over the year to heal you–and you never heal but they continue to make money?
This is why WE HAVE PROFESSIONAL people. We want the educated, approved, and insured to handle work that people pay for. We want regulation. We want honesty. I am behind the Writers Guild of America. I am not behind them IF they themselves or members sent criminal snoopers after me and others. It is a good time to COME CLEAN.
I wouldn’t have written about this when I was a youth. But now I’m 50 years old and I am sitting at home, a “never was”.
