Writing is not what I do. I certainly couldn't earn money or fame from it. I do love writing, but, for me, it is driven simply by the need to tell the stories that I know.Leslie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15702472429383639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-37482087200729258382009-10-11T13:11:34.427-07:002009-10-11T13:11:34.427-07:00By the way, Tag, I also applied for a job at Guata...By the way, Tag, I also applied for a job at Guatanomo Bay prison (it only took me 24 hours to come up with that line.

I didn't use the other writers names (one of whose I forgot, though I could easily look it up) because I was basically eavesdropping in on a conversation, and, at this stage of my life, I don't think I quite qualify as the "public record". I would hope neither would mind my, uh, reporting, as discontent is hardly scandelous. If it were, I'd be on the cover of the National Enquirer.<br /><br />I will throw some other names out at you, as they already have publicly done so. In the "List of Blogs", LimesNow, where your always interesting "Ramblings" reside, you'll see the names Ken Levine and Mark Rothman. Ken Levine has written for MASH, Cheers, Frazier, seems like every popular sitcom of the last quarter century. He has stated on his blog that the reason he started said blog in the first place is he wants to write a book, and thought he could use the blog to entice a publisher. Mark Rothman has written for The Odd Couple, Happy Days, and Laverne and Shirley (and once made a guest appearance in the comment section of this very blog). On his blog the other day he wrote of dicovering, on one of those "site meters" that tell you where a blog's readers are hailing from, that he had fans reading his stuff at the Disney and Sony studios. As he himself wrote, they may just be people in the mail room, but, if not, if they're studio execs, he has a movie idea that he'd like to write and direct.<br /><br />I don't know how ambitious you are about your writing LimesNow, but you can either take solace that even reletavely successful creative people sometimes have a hard time finding the right outlet for that creativity, or you you can wonder, as somebody (another person whose name I've seen in print) wondered in EOB's comment section a while back, that if a known name can't get a book published, what's the hope for the rest of us.<br /><br />Myself, I ping-pong as usual between optimism and pessimism. I have one of those "site meters" myself, and I noticed I have a reader with some kind of connection to La Quinta Inns.<br /><br />Maybe I can get a job as a desk clerk.Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02155991693956178030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-26178203706657573822009-10-10T15:10:26.841-07:002009-10-10T15:10:26.841-07:00Maybe Neil Patrick Harris-KumarMaybe Neil Patrick Harris-KumarAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00533184345345882921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635884225797829085.post-62635726851563350442009-10-10T14:30:31.182-07:002009-10-10T14:30:31.182-07:00Kirk, any chance I know the name of the woman writ...Kirk, any chance I know the name of the woman writer you purposely went to see?
