In case you’re stalking me, which I’m pretty sure you are, you’ve probably seen me post on social media about ‘Midwest’s Best.’ What is ‘Midwest’s Best’ you ask? ‘MB’ is a [fictional] TV show I’ve created. It will fictionally broadcast on Hulu, & it will only fictionally broadcast on there until it actually broadcasts on there. Most of my writing takes place in Los Angeles. ‘MB’ is the “first” writing piece that does not take place in SoCal, it takes place in the Midwest; however, there will be nods, of course, to Los Angeles. SPOILER ALERT!

‘MB’ is not-so “everyday life,” kind of, in the Midwest, mainly Chicago. It stars & centers on, aside from Chicago, “JC” & “Charlie,” 2 friends who work at “Cliniswirl” together located in the greater Chicago area. City life & suburb life is told & focused on. Think of a midwestern form of ‘The Hills’ yet mocked & comedic yet scandalous & [more] entertaining –with fashion, because it’s my creation & you can rock every season in the Midwest, especially “’Dem Midwestern Winters”— SPOILER ALERT! There’s also a lot of nods to the entire region, & then some. & let’s just say, I love giving nods.

Originally, ‘MB’ was only supposed to be 2 seasons, but the story grew, of course, & now it is blossomed into 5 seasons. SPOILER ALERT: season 5 is the shortest. There’s a wide variety of things in the series. It is, after all, my creation. I’ve worked on not having it be a ‘Cubicle Diaries’ redo; however, there are nods, of course, to ‘The Cubicle Diaries,’ & SPOILER ALERT: there are quite a few crossovers between the two in both series. In case you missed it, there’s a crossover in volume III of ‘The Cubicle Diaries’ & we will see that crossover be “out there/ continued/ come to life”—sort of, in season 3 of ‘MB,’ yet we might see one differently, kind of, in season 1. SPOILER ALERT! So not apologizing for leaving you on edge/ hanging. That’s basically how I make money. 😉 Although, I’m not quitting my day-job. 😉 & I’m not rich –yet! But this will all definitely have you thinking, where is he going with all this!?!

The other thing about ‘MB,’ aside from sharing the not-so-average type of lifestyle for a twenty-something/ thirty-something/ & maybe even forty-something in the Midwest, because it can be labelled as “boring” or “flat” – no pun because there’s no mountains over there —LMFAO!, is that it is also introducing other pieces of my work, my universe. For example, SPOILER ALERT! & maybe I shouldn’t be sharing so much, but OH well…, we’ll see the introduction of Velvet Apparition, a [fictional], of course, because fiction is my problem, rock band that introduces a whole new story under me. When it comes to that ‘Untitled’ piece, think old versus new, whether it’s glamour, money, pop culture, or the way we treat people –even our family members. The concept of that story came to me during my visit to Cleveland, Ohio, & from my visit to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Coming up with that piece was extraordinary at the time. In retrospect, I’ve realized it is magical. I AM a writer! 😊 But, I will share. You won’t see it sooner; you’ll see it later.    

Like most new broadcasted TV shows on the web [–?], ‘MB’ will be broadcasted all at once –each season-by-season. Gotta feed that binge beast! The people want what they want! Will all 5 seasons be available at once? No. I have a strong outline of ‘MB,’ but I don’t consider it a finished project. There are many touch-ups, not fill-ups 😉, that need to be done. Part of being a writer, aside from the media, especially social media, you’re constantly scrutinizing your work & it can always “be better,” but you must learn to step away from it & appreciate the masterpiece you’ve created. Like parents, “make it better with the next child…” My goal is to have all 5 seasons “completed” before anything is out there/ published into planet Earth, i.e., season 1. Not the entire script, just a detailed outline. I’m very open to collaboration. I’m a renaissance man, not everything. Fun fact: I did a similar thing with ‘TCD.’ I made sure the entire story was done before volume I was published. With ‘MB,’ it’s different though.I’m writing ‘MB’ strictly as a TV show, where as with ‘TCD’ I wrote it as a book [series] with the goal to turn it into a TV show. I did, however, write every single word of ‘The Cubicle Diaries’ series. That’s all me! The good, the bad, & for the most important, the scandalous. The 2 different formats need to be attended to differently. SPOILER ALERT: the episode–s! Yes, there is a ‘s’ at the end of that! “Midwestern Haunting” of ‘MB’ is like my “Holiday Madness” of ‘TCD.’ They’re very different, yet they hold a strong piece of me. I’ve had sooooooo much fun with ‘’Midwestern Haunting.” That storyline is linked to so much! SPOILER ALERT: it ties a chunk of season 4 & very subtle nods to the OHMG universe. Instagram has the most spoilers. From the first finale to the last.  

It’s been fun & great! I’m still not done! I’m excited for it. I am, however, not going to rush to put it out. I’m nurturing this one different, &, again, there’s other things I’m doing with it, & all good art should not be rushed, 😉, BUT! I will tell you one thing, I C A N N O T wait for, “Previously, on “Midwest’s Best” …”.
