Quick post before I jump in the shower and go to work (don’t worry, I am clothed) I’m getting lots of nice comments about the Screenwriters’ Diary. Thank you very much. I’ve been thinking of ways of spreading the word and obtaining more information for it and I’m considering returning to the Shooting People fold. [...]

The Story of How I Got An Agent Interested
Kid B was up at 5.30 again. Been the same all week. I think she’s slowly becoming nocturnal. What with long work hours, a two and a half hour round trip to work and the writing, I haven’t been this tired since she was a newborn. And the Better Half and I get to do [...]
Word of the Day
Excuse me, but I’m trying something new. The family and I are all sat on the sofa watching Nick Jr, waiting for the Simpsons. So, I have taken this opportunity, this eye in the familial storm, to try posting a blog on the Blackberry. Which brings me to the new word of the day I [...]
Sitcom. A Different Way of Writing. Discuss.
I’m cream-crackered so I’ll try and keep this brief. New project at my day job, long car journey, lots more to learn, I’m sure you’ve all been there! Going to have to work on ways to organise my day to fit everything in. Big Thank Attack to everyone who’s said nice things about the Screenwriters’ [...]
Shameless Self-Promotion
This morning I was updating the Screenwriters’ Diary. Going through my list of contacts and references, I got all frustrated and thought “Gah! Why isn’t there one central place where I can just search all this stuff in date order? It would make the research so much easier.” Then I remembered that there is, it’s [...]
The Waiting Game Part 2
It’s been over four months since I had confirmation from the BBC Writers’ Room that they received “Stuck Between Stations”. This means either: A) It is amazing and it’s currently sat on the Head of BBC Comedy’s Desk. B) It is trapped under a heavy object in the readers’ room. C) It has spontaneously combusted. [...]
Virtuocity Update
We Daves, as a breed, are a helpful bunch. So it’s a big thank you to Dave Melkevik over at The Columbo Effect for updating me about the call for screenwriters by Virtuocity. My original post’s here. Apparently, in a last minute decision, the contract has been awarded to another company so Eyebrid Blaze Ltd [...]
Career Opportunities
I currently have the Clash very loud on my iPod, so that felt like a suitable post title… Quick one today. Have a lot on in my day-job and have to try and fit in writing a new scene for the re-draft of “Stuck Between Stations” in my lunchbreak. Two screen agencies are recruiting at [...]
Notes From The Prod Co.
It seems, currently, that there’s a lot of writing activity going on in the Blogosphere. Novels or screenplays, laptops or crayons, people look like they’re getting their heads down and scribbling. More power to your elbows, kids. For my part, I got the notes on “Stuck Between Stations” from the prod co. I met on [...]
So Very Tired And Celebrity Spotting
Been up stupidly early these last two mornings. I keep thinking of jokes at about half past two in the morning and not been able to really get back to sleep until I’ve got up and written them into the script. Stupid jokes about Van Morrison. Well, they make me laugh… The meeting yesterday went [...]
