As anyone in hollywood can tell you, hollywood is a mess. I've decided to take matters into my own hands.

For my birthday this year, I'm asking for donations to help me establish what will essentially be my own PR firm.

I've spent the past 6 years learning to craft the art of writing and thought, while hollywood has spent the same time learning to craft the art of layoffs and downsizing. I wrote 1,000 pages in 3 years. Now, it's crunch time in every office.

I've got the material, I've got the ideas, I just need your help making my voice louder.

What I need is to fully revamp my home office setup, from a new desk+chair (with proper lumbar support now that I'm 31, an ancient dinosaur in hollywood); to new cameras and hard-drives; and even a hollywood-style phone headset! The ultimate goal will be to get a new macbook pro, though that would come after everything else.

If a donation benchmark is met, I'll raise the fundraising goal to the next total:

1 - 950

2 - 1450

3 - 1950

4 - 2450

5 - 2950 (go big or go home!)

Thank you so much for your support and for the birthday wishes!

To quote cher from a rather paltry movie called Burlesque, "you haven't seen the last of me!"
