Scene Exercises →
I haven’t posted anything in a while so I thought I’d offer a couple of (three) scene comp entries for you to have a look at. I find scene challenges a lot of fun and a great little exercise. The…

This post spans the last couple of days:
So I’ve been quiet on the blogs/forums/myspaz for a while now. The only thing I seem to keep up with is facebook and even that was ignored for a while.

I sat up all night watching the election coverage, my hand clasped to my mouth between typing to friends and asking people on the west coast of America to continue voting. When Obama was…

Prop 8… disgusting bollocks
I’m gonna like going to America so much more now… Happiness =D
Californians: Is it still raining? I don’t care! Go vote! And don’t forget - NO on Prop 8, and YES on Prop 2, when you’re choosing Obama! =)
Tofutti: nomnom. How did I forget it’s bonfire night tomorrow? I live in Guy Fawkes-ville! St. Peter’s “do not burn effigies of old boys”.
Undecided voters: Go vote Barack Obama for me! He’s captured the world, only the world can’t vote. He’ll make a world leader we ALL respect.
Holding my breath for Obama and “No on Prop 8” x
AND when you hear Obama has won (which you will,) don’t smile and stay home. Carry on voting for him. Carry on voting for him. Carry on…

Political Ignorance →
Okay… I’m shit with politics and I won’t pretend otherwise. I’ve never really paid attention to it all — something I’m beginning to feel ashamed of. I’ve always felt detached I suppose, like it…

Sick with nerves, deadlines and lack of sleep… I think waiting is possibly the worst thing in the world. Uncertainty is a mind squasher!
What a wonderful day =) Meandering around town on a Sunday afternoon; the shambles and the Minster with a light drizzle… I love York

All Hallows’ Even →
So… I’m sat here sucking on my fourth lolly, contemplating whether I can do this to the pumpkin I’ve just been given:
… and I realise that, like Christmas or Easter, many people…
Have a great All Hallows’ Even, everyone. 15 years; rest in peace x
Does anyone have the Lila shaped screwdriver?
Join the Dots →
Okay… so as most of my friends will know, I sometimes talk about something called ‘The Happy’. I blogged about this a little at the beginning of the year when it finally hit me, but since I deleted…
I need to make chips, forget my disgusting morning and get on with work… Chips are definitely the key here, I feel.
When shit hits the fan, join the dots.
Falling fast =)
Ahh the empty page. Something to fill… expectation and STRESS… or an elusive new world merely waiting to be discovered; your playground.
I’m too excited by my plot to be serious. I’m having that “Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Shit, yeah!” morning… what a feeling… x
5am and after 2 hours sleep, the cat walloped me in the face until I woke up, then he buggered off… Now a plot twist’s hit me! Sleeeep zZz

I’ve been struggling with the outline on my latest project for quite some time now. It’s an in-depth character study and, as hard as I tried, I couldn’t seem to fully manifest the guy floating…
I have no idea why, but greed somehow still manages to amaze me every time.
I love research… oh, yes I do! Mmmm
ponders bad stuff being easier to accept, and less scary, than good stuff.

Charlie Kaufman’s directorial début “Synecdoche, New York” opens in America on the 24th. I can’t wait for it to get here…
When I first grew some bollocks and showed some of my work to a few people,…

A tweet poem (tweepo?): Electronic spine: For every quiet moment I long to fill the void; to feel connected; to be accepted; to trap a nerve
Is this what getting close to 30 does to you? I think Im finally over boys; I need my own Russell Crowe. Rawr.
Just had the mother of all character breakthroughs; the whole thing suddenly sits right! *thrilled* x

I simply had to post Miles To Go Productions’ bid to join the ELE and get on Joss Whedon’s DVD.
Miles makes a phenomenal Earl Grey too… Here’s wishing them all the best!
I’m a sleepy bunny. 4 weeks until the kaos feature screenplay comp deadline. Too late to try? Hmm zzzz

I can’t do it… It’s been three months and I simply can’t stop the urges to write pointless, monkey-babble blogs. I thought quitting would help me concentrate more on my writing — but no — it’s…
I’m making veggie curry… Nomnom! x
Just spent 2.5 hours with my mum, gran, social services, doc and memory specialist. I wish they told you what they were writing down…
Banksy has branched out in NY… I particularly like ‘Big Cats’: http://thevillagepetstoreandcharcoalgrill.com/
