LARRY ELDER AND I NEVER DID HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE WITH PROSE THAT HE HAD WRITTEN, AND I WAS BUSY WORKING ON, "FROM PIGS FEET TO CAVIAR",,,AND HIS INVITATION TO COLLABORATE CAME WHILE LIVING IN CALIFORNIA,
I WAS NOT KNOWN AS A WRITER IN NEW YORK, BUT BARELY AS AN ACTRESS AT THE TIME, HAVING STUDIED AT HB STD AS WELL AS THE ADVANCED WORK SHOP UNDER LLOYD RICHARDS, AT THE NEC, ALLEGED DIRECTOR OF BROADWAY
S "A RAISIN IN THE SUN"...
I DECIDED TO BACK TRACK GIVING MY SPECIFICS OF THE INVITATION AND ALSO AFTER READING LARRY'S SUPPOSED OBITUARY, AS WELL AS LINCOLN KILLPATRICK'S, WHERE LARRY'S ALLEGED WIFE, JUDY ANN ELDER, GAVE ALL OF HIS CREDITS, RATHER THAN HER EX HUSBAND'S AND I HEARD SCUTTLEBUTT OF HER MOTHER ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB INTO BED WITH HER HUSBAND, AND OF COURSE I , UNLIKE JUDY ANN ELDER, )WHO DID NOT ATTEND AFI, AS THE MANY BLACK WOMEN WHO HAD CLAIMED THEY HAD IN THE HARD COVER BOOK, FROM AFI , MY CLASS OF 1975, WHICH RELIED ON DONARS,///
MANY WHO PAID MONEY TO BE MENTIONED IN THE CLASS OF 1990 WHICH PROVIDED NAMES AND ADDRESSES, OF THE SAME BLACK FEMALES REPEATEDLY, WHO LIKE SEEING THEIR NAME IN PRINT, YET NOT DOING ANY OF THE HARD LIFTING, ..
AND OF COURSE, THIS IS NOT JUST RELEGATED TO BLACK WOMEN, BUT WHITE AS WELL, AND INSULT TO THOSE WHO ARE SERIOUS ABOUT BEING A SCRIBE...AND GLORIA HENRY, AND A BEVY OF OTHER BLACK WOMEN BACK IN NEW YORK WHO COULD QUALIFY AS PLAYBOY BUNNIES, I COULDN'T MY TITS DIDN'T QUALIFY ME, THANK GOD (IN RETROSPECT) SO I BECAME A WAITRESS AT THE ABC RESTAURANT AND THE POPULAR WESTBOONDOCK SOUL FOOD RESTAURANT, WHICH MY COVER, MAY NOT EVEN HAD BEEN BORNE OR MADE OVER AS YET,, AND I RETURNED TO MY BLOG TODAY, SAT/ 12/3/16 CLARIFYING THE FACT THAT I HAVE NEVER EVER COLLABORATED WITH ANOTHER ALLEGED WRITER WITH ANY OF MY WORK, NOR DO I CHOOSE TO DO SO NOW, I WORK AND CREATE AT MY OWN PACE...
SAME GOES FOR MY WRITTEN STAND UP COMEDY MATERIAL, WHICH TRACEE ANN LYLES, CONVENIENTLY POPPED UP ON FAIRFAX ACROSS FROM THE TARNISHED WRITERS GUILD, ASKING ME WHEN WE WERE GOING TO DO A STAND UP COMEDY ROUTINE TOGETHER..
.I HAD ALREADY APPEARED IN SEVERAL PLACES AROUND TOWN, WITHOUT HER, AND DID NOT INTEND TO USE HER DUE TO HER NON WORK ETHIC,,,NOT KNOWING THAT SHE WAS A MEMBER OF WITNESS PROTECTION, AND HMSS...I'VE HAD ENOUGH ALBATROSSES HANGING AROUND MY NECK FOR MORE THAN A LIFE TIME,,,
MOST PEOPLE WOULD RATHER SELF GRATIFY THEMSELVES BY TALKING ABOUT WRITING RATHER THAN ACTUALLY DOING THE TASK OF BEING A SCRIBE...
I SUSPECT THE DEVIANTS PARTICULARLY THE POSERS, COVERS, AND DEVIANTS REPRESENTING WHICH EVER CONTINGENCY, WANTED TO BLOCK ME ONCE AGAIN FROM MY DESERVED SUCCESS, PUTTING THEIR PEOPLE IN PLACE, THOSE IN THE IN CROWD UNDER WITNESS PROTECTION AND HMSS...RATHER THAN PROPERLY FINANCIALLY COMPENSATING ME, FOR THEIR TREACHEROUS AND TREASONISTS ACTIVITY AGAINST THE US OF AMERICA, ...AND TRUE PRODUCERS OF ORIGINAL WORKS OF PROSE FICTION AND NON FICTION...
RECALLING MY EX HUSBAND'S WORDS, WITH FEIGNED URGENCY AS IF HE WERE A TRUE ACTOR, RATHER THAN WHAT HE WAS AND STILL IS, A TRAITOR TO HIS COUNTRY, A PIMP COMING FROM A FAMILY OF PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES, OF WHICH I WAS SELF EXEMPT...WHICH IS WHY I LEFT AFTER NINE YEARS OF TORTURE, ASKING FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FROM HIM...
HE SAID INTO THE RECEIVER,..."GWEN, THAT ISN'T TOD!" SPEAKING OF OUR SON WHO HAD COME TO VISIT AT MY HOME IN THE HOLLYWOOD HILLS WHICH I HAD PURCHASED ALONG WTIH MY RENTAL PROPERTY, ASSISTED BY HIS POSSE OF NO GOODERS, WHO RECEIVED GOVERNMENT GIFTS PAID OUT TO SO CALLED MINORITY ETHNICITY IN ORDER TO ALLEGEDLY LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD, WHICH HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANYTHING VALID, SOCIAL WELFARE, WITH THE EMPHASIS ON SOCIAL, THE IN CROWD ACTIVITY...
EXCEPT FOR THE VISUAL OF THE HUGE ROOM WITH IT'S ROW AFTER ROW OF COTS, AS I WALKED BRAZENLY UP TO THE MAN IN CHARGE, SITTING IN THE FRONT OF THE ROOM, WITH MY SCREENPLAY, IN TOW AS SEVERAL WOMEN LICKING THEIR CHOPS AS IF I WERE A PIECE OF TUNA..
SIMILAR REACTION WHEN I, OUT OF KINDNESS, AND GENUINE FRIENDSHIP AT THE TIME, HAD TREATED TRACY ANN LYLES TO A MEAL ON DOHENY AT THE FOUR SEASONS RESTAURANT, AND SITTING ACROSS FROM OUR TABLE WERE A COUPLE OF WHITE WOMEN WATCHING EVERY MORSEL THAT I PLACED IN MY MOUTH...
THIS TOOK PLACE HERE IN CALIFORNIA,,,
AND THE MAN SITTING IN THE FRONT OF THE ROOM, HAD RESEMBLED THE GUY WHO HAD OWNED THE PIZZA JOINT IN HOLLYWOOD, AT THE STRIP MALL, AND OWNER OF THE THEATER NEXT TO MICHELLE'S, WHO I SAID, "HERE'S MY SCREENPLAY, I'M LOOKING FOR MONEY TO PRODUCE IT, IT'S CALLED," A MATTER OF CHOICE, PLEASE READ IT AND GET BACK AT YOUR LEISURE"...I TURNED AND WALKED OUT OF THE DARKENED ROOM IN ORDER FOR THE ACTIVITY FOR THAT EVENING COULD PROCEED IN THE ROOM WITHOUT ME".
HE DID RESPOND AFTER A REASONABLE LENGTH OF TIME TELLING ME HE HAD READ THE SCREENPLAY AND IT HAD MADE HIM CRY AND HE HAD BEEN PARTICULARLY MOVED BY THE STORY...I WAS IMPRESSED BY WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A GENUINE RESPONSE TO MY WRITING...
AND I BELIEVE WHEN I TRAVELED BACK TO NEW YORK STILL SEARCHING FOR BACKERS, AND I HAD HEARD A KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF MY HOTEL AT THE GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL WHICH NO LONGER EXISTS I BELIEVE WITH ITS PRIVATE PARK, A WELL DRESSED MAN STOOD IN FRONT OF ME, SAYING, "WE'VE GOT TO TALK"...I RESPONDED BY STEPPING BACK, LETTING HIM SEE FOR HIMSELF WHAT I SAID TO HIM, "I'M WORKING" AND HE LOOKED AT THE DESK WHERE MY WRITING WAS BEING WORKED ON, AND WE EXCHANGED NON RESPONSIVE LOOKS AND HE WALKED AWAY, AND I CLOSED AND LOCKED THE HOTEL ROOM DOOR, AND RESUMED MY WORK, WITH NO THOUGHT OF HIM AT ALL.
LET ME REPEAT, NO ONE, HAS THE RIGHT TO ANY OF MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES EVEN IF YOU HAVE ALREADY PLAGARIZED MY WORK...COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS A VERY SERIOUS OFFENSE,,,AND NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO GIVE MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES AWAY, INCLUDING GEORGE BERNARD SHAW, WHO IS VERY MUCH ALIVE, CURRENTLY SITTING NEXT TO ME AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHO CHOSE TO INTERUPT ME FROM WRITING THIS VERY IMPORTANT BLOG...
WAVING HIS DIGITS IN FRONT OF MY EYES, BEING RUDE, WHICH IS OFTEN A TRAIT WITH WRITERS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE COMPULSIVE ABOUT PUTTING THEIR THOUGHTS DOWN BEFORE THEY FORGET THEM.
IT IS NO LONGER, "A MAN'S WORLD ALONE"...AND I AM VERY MUCH FEMALE AND INTEND TO STAY THAT WAY," EAT YOUR -UCKIN' HEARTS OUT!"
DO NOT TRUST ANYONE, IF YOU INTEND TO BE A SERIOUS CONTRIBUTOR IN CHANGING THE WORLD FOR THE BETTER, BECAUSE UNFORTUNATELY, THE GENERAL POPULATION WILL HATE YOU FOR IT.
