September Update

03 October 2007

Bit late this one, sorry for that.

Buddha Of Birmingham and White Knight are polished and ready to go out, both to producers and in my agent pack.

The Dead Side Of Life is through to the third round of the BSSC.

I will soon start draft two of Paper, Scissors, Stone.

I'm moving house next week, and for the first time in my career I'll have a proper office. I'm so proud.

Jog On

25 September 2007

I've made the third round of the BSSC. Fantastic news!

Filming also begins on my script for Norwegian cinemas next week. Nice!

Agent Pack

19 September 2007

Finally I'm in the last throes of completing my agent pack, after threatening to do so for many months now. The three scripts which will be posted out are; The Dead Side Of Life (10 mins), Buddha Of Birmingham  (30 mins) and White Knight (60 mins).

Buddha of Birmingham and White Knight are being proof read as we speak. They will be posted out the week after next, for certain this time, or you can come around my house and slap me.

Big Break

12 September 2007

The results of the Final Draft Big Break Competiton are in and I didn't make the semi-finals. However, two Brits did make the finals so well done to Geraint Horwood and Chris Rowland for keeping the British end up.

BBC & BSSC

04 September 2007

Good news, I've made it through to the second round of the BSSC for the first time ever. Fantastic!

I've also received Cross The Rubicon back from the BBC Writersroom. They like my writing and have asked me to forward more of my work. Nice one!

SFX Pulp Idol

29 August 2007

I didn't win this year's SFX Magazine's Pulp Idol Short Story Competition, but they haven't announced the ten runners up, so I could still have some good news.

No news on Final Draft Big Break, or if I got through to the second round of BSSC.

I'm not writing at all at the moment after being seriously ill for the past month. I am hoping that things will clear up soon so I can get back to my keyboard for more than ten minutes a day.

The Ideas Train

22 August 2007

The ideas are flowing.

A nearly fully formed TV comedy idea popped into my head Sunday night...which was nice. It's great when that happens. Most of the time the ideas don't have legs and I end up amalgamating them with other ideas. On very rare occasions the idea not only has legs but is pure genius. This is one of those ideas. A series that can theoretically go on for ever, even if the main star drops out.

On the rewrite front I'm half way through Buddha Of Birmingham, part way through Epitaph and I'm reworking the idea for Paper, Scissors, Stone ready to start the rewrite next week.
