THE PRICE OF BEING A WRITER...

NOT THAT I AM ALL KNOWING, NOT IN THE LEAST, I AM A NOVICE, POSSIBLY LIKE YOU...EVEN IF YOU'RE PUBLISHED, AS I AM, I FEEL THAT THERE IS SO MUCH MORE OF LIFE FOR ME TO EXPERIENCE AND ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT THINGS FOR ME, AT LEAST, IS TO LET GO OF THE PAST.

SOMETHING THAT I SURELY NEED AS A WRITER, YET, COULD BE AT THE SAME TIME, MY WORSE ENEMY, RELINQUISHING WHAT WAS, FOR WHAT IS NOW.

*****

I HAVE NEVER ACCLAMATED TO CALIFORNIA. I AM FROM NEW YORK, AND STILL CONSIDER MYSELF A NEW YORKER THOUGH I HAVE LIVED OUT HERE SINCE 1973...THE WEATHER IS USUALLY GREAT IN CALIFORNIA, BUT LATELY WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE KIND OF WEATHER THAT THEY HAD THE DAY I FLEW FROM HEATHROW AIRPORT. IT WAS POURING DOWN RAINING, UNTIL THE PLANE HAD ACQUIRED A HIGH ENOUGH ALTITUDE AS IT CUT THROUGH THE PILLARS OF WHITE CLOUDS GREETED BY A DAZZELING BRIGHT SUN.

WHEN I HAD GONE TO VISIT THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND REGARDING MY GLOBAL PLAN, BEFORE I KNEW WHAT WAS REALLY UP, AS I DO NOW. AMERICA IS MY HOME AND ALWAYS WILL BE, AND WE UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEVIANTS WISH FOR ME TO EXIT IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY HAVE AN EASIER TIME AT STEALING WHAT BELONGS TO ME, WHICH THEY WON'T.

I BELIEVE I WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT DIPLOMAT WHICH THE GLOBAL PLAN CALLS FOR, YET, THERE ARE OTHER MATTERS STILL YET TO BE RESOLVED...AND I DO NOT NECESSARILY NEED A TRAVELING COMPANION. YET FIRST I HAVE TWO VERY IMPORTANT COMMITTMENTS REGARDING MY WRITING AND DIRECTING OF FEATURE FILMS WHICH I HAVE WRITTEN, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY THE GREMLINS HAVE BEEN PREVENTING ME FROM DOING ON MY TERMS, AT LEAST UP UNTIL NOW.

SUCH DISRESPECT, ILLEGALLY EVICTING ME FROM REAL ESTATE THAT I OWN, BECAUSE OF MY ETHNICITY,AGE,AND GENDER, AND ALSO BECAUSE I'M SHORT. RANDY NEWMAN'S DISPICABLE, IN MY OPINION, SONG WHICH PAYS UNREASONABLE TRIBUTE TO TALL PEOPLE.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND TO THOSE STILL REMAINING IN MY CAMP, I ESPECIALLY THANK YOU.
