My writing career started as a nonstarter working at a local paper in San Diego. After two years, the only words I had published there or anywhere else were help wanted ads. I knew it was time to leave when I mentioned a new website called Craigslist had free online advertising and the reply was "We don't talk about Craigslist here."
    There was only one week out of the year I felt like a writer, and that was the week of Burning Man. Starting at the Black Rock Gazette in 1999 and moving over to their rival a year later, I was finally getting articles out to thousands of underground artists.
     Much like other writers who begin in one medium and shift around, I found myself leaning back to lifelong passions of writing fiction, film and TV scripts, and plays. This would provide the basis for working as a writer for Flores And Friends on Amazon Prime writing sketch comedy and jokes for the monologue.
