I lived in Los Angeles for several years as a struggling screenwriter, hoping that someone in the film industry would fall in love with my scripts and turn them into major motion picture blockbusters. Unfortunately, that never happened.
I also worked as a ghostwriter on a couple of screenplays for an independent film production company, hoping they would be turned into major motion picture blockbusters, but that never happened.
So, I left Hollywood and returned to my home state of Oklahoma where I switched gears and started writing and self-publishing my own books in the hopes that someday, someone in Hollywood would read one of my books and turn it into a major motion picture blockbuster.
That has yet to happen.
