Idea #2:
For those of you who are too young to know (and I'm one of you), the shot above is of the explosion of the Hindenburg air ship, which occurred in Lakehurst, NJ, on May 6, 1937. But what does this have to do with a book deal you ask? Well, good question. Now shut up, I'm getting there.
Okay, so, in 2002 I moved from New York to LA to begin my oh-so-illustrious career as a television comedy writer. I'm so successful you haven't even heard of me. That's how successful I am. I'm in the witness protection program for overly-famous sitcom writers.
But anyway, back to reality... And my rockin' idea. My second job on a TV show -- back in 2002 -- was as a writers' assistant on My Big Fat Greek Life, based on the inexplicably successful movie of almost the same name. The show was a complete and utter trainwreck, but I had already endured a possibly more harrowing first job on another show -- a story I will save for the book. Random? House? Anyone?
So, based on all the high drama that was going on behind the scenes on these (ironically) comedies, my co-writers' assistant and I, who had worked on the aforementioned other insane show with me, came up with the idea that I should write a book entitled, (are you ready Harper Collins?) "Window Seat on the Hindenburg: My First Year in Television." Well, it's now almost six years later, but I am finally getting off my keester to shout my explosive (no pun intended) idea out to the world and get a huge -- or moderate -- advance, so I can write it and sell a million -- or 34,000 -- copies. So, Simon says, tell Schuster all about it. (My unfortunate attempt at subliminal messaging).
Until next week, I remain:
Moderately Published
