When I was writing pithy, one star screenplays, I was fastidious about capturing every original thought I had on pads of paper by the bed, in my purse, the car, on used cocktail napkins, dog-eared pages, old envelopes, scraps and matchbooks. (God forbid I should forget these forgettable strokes of genius.)

During that decade I filled up files, notebooks, folders, screenplays, demo tapes, treatments, pitches, adaptations and synopsis and stuffed them into closets and boxes. Draft upon draft upon draft upon draft.

For all those words and all those years I made exactly no money.

But I had a dream.

Then I discovered the word client and this led to the word income.

Now I’m creating the BigOoga™ which is leading me to lots and lots of new words and phrases, like flow charts , cash flow, privacy policies, site maps, pod scripts, CRM, HR, HQ, HTML, PDF, PR, AMEX, payroll and Mother of God.
