…They’re looking for photos and answers to the question “Where Do You Write?”. Find the linkage here. So if, like me, you want to pretend that you’re doing a piece for “Writers’ Rooms” in the Guardian, get yourself over there. Here’s what I will be sending: I write on the dining room table, simply because [...]

HTML And Me…
I’ve been fiddling with the site again. Every now and again, my geek tendencies bubble up and I have to get busy with HTML. It’s all a bit shifting the deckchairs on the Titanic, but hopefully it works better. Does it look a bit too cluttered? I wanted to try and get 3 columns on [...]
Of Snow, Squirrels And Sisters-In-Law
I’m currently enjoying a packet of Cajun Squirrel crisps. We’ve sampled all the Walkers flavours in the office and the winner is Duck in Hoi Sin sauce. This judgment is based purely on the fact that it’s the one flavour that actually tastes like the description on the packet. The unanimous decision is that chilli [...]
Gadget Boy
The Better Half puts up with a constant stream of gadgets (though, I think it’s called “tech” now, possibly in an attempt to sound less nerdy and more like you’re a member of Special Forces). Thanks to eBay, iPods, Blackberries, mobiles, notebooks, PDAs, iPhones and laptops pass in and out of the door with alarming [...]

Kaos Films have launched the 2009 British Short Screenplay Competition. Early deadline is March 20th 2009 and the final deadline is May 8th 2009. They’ll make the winning 3 screenplays (2 action, 1 animations) and have the premiere at BAFTA HQ. Play your cards right, you get end up nominated for best short film at [...]
The One Where Dave Gushes
I’m an important man. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells like rich mahogany. I’m a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. I’m a man who needs a cologne that makes me smell like a turd covered in burnt hair. Sex Panther! I have [...]
A Stupid Little Tip
Well, the Screenwriters’ Diary made a nice swooshing sound as it left my Outbox this morning. Hope you got it ok. Let me know if you didn’t. I won’t say anything about the BAFTAs. Partly because other people will say more intelligent things elsewhere, but mostly because I once again lost control of the remote [...]
Moral Dilemma
I failed to watch the rugby yesterday. I ended up watching “Go, Diego, Go”, but, putting a positive spin on it, we all learned something about three-toed sloths. I’ve just put the finishing touches to the first Screenwriters’ Diary newsletter, so it’ll be nestled in your inboxes tomorrow morning. If you haven’t signed up, it’s [...]
Tweeny Ennui
“The sun is stupid. The rain is good,” Kid A just told me. I’ve now started to call him Mini-Satre. I’ve been trying to get him to say “Hell is other people” but I think he regards my attempts at amusing myself as trivial and beneath him. I’ve also been stymied in my attempts to [...]
Chapter 147: Upon Which Dave Received Some Good News
All the blogging guides on the web say “use photos in your posts”, so here’s the view from my laptop. I actually managed to make it half way towards work before the snow came down, people started crashing and I thought that I might as well give up and come home. Apparently, a work colleague [...]
