"A fascinating story." ~Bob Illes

It was a great honor to see this comment, in my Facebook private messages after I sent my blog link to him and my self-revelations on Facebook while feeling out the climate and gauging interest levels on my social media sites. I trust his judgment. He is 4 time Emmy winner with 6 nominations. He wrote for many of the high quality, comedy sitcoms and television specials, of the 1970’s and 1980’s. Here is short list of the comedy elite for whom he wrote. People like Lilly Tomlin, Smothers Brothers, Dick Van Dyke, Carol Burnett, Martin Mull, Red Foxx, Smokey Robinson’s Motown Revue, to name a few. With that kind of entertainment industry cred, his comment was especially encouraging.

"Lots of humor. Semiautobiographical, mixing psychological with dark humor, illustrating and defining mental illness in a cultural context while traveling through different social experiences from the background of the 60's and 70's to the present." ~Alexander Emmert, Invictus films
By George, he's got it! (This comment followed his expressed interest in a writing position after reading this blog and being my Facebook friend for a year.)

“Jaw-dropping” ~Luke Sacher Documentary filmmaker

“You should write an autobiography, these are great stories.” ~Eddie Fisher in 1976

"Helluva story" ~Louis B. Mayer (I swear to G-d he spoke to me from the spirit realm)

A promise to my friends

Walking through your fear is possible when you want what is on the other side badly enough that the temporary discomfort of feeling insecure or doubtful is no big deal. ~Chrys Rosen



A Promise to my Friends
We are not monsters, baby eaters, untouchable or morally corrupt. Not lazy, untalented or devoid of ideas. We don’t want all of your limited resources or public funds. But we have to stand strong and we insist upon some. You won’t be sorry I will make sure they know that. I’ll show long lists from the arts, sciences and industry too that will surprise them, because they just never knew. They will leave wiser than they were before entering through the door. With mental pictures reframed from the insights they have gained.
But please don’t hold back your gifts until others come around, find a place where your passion is aroused and ride it around. Be true to yourself, even if you see yourself strange, to be different can also be reframed, with words like novel, innovative and new. Make 'don't hide' your motto and be willing to walk through your fear. We have to come out now without shame or fear. So, please don’t hide, cut, or otherwise abuse. The impulses and thoughts pass quickly just let them dash right through. Together or alone our strength can endure. Silenced by shame no more.
