deep and crisp and even
Ok not deep at all, not very crisp and certainly not even but… overnight it SNOWED!!! My digital camera has died but as soon as I can borrow one, I’ll have proof, although what crunchy white stuff there is, has started to melt away now the sun has come out. Is it snowing where you…

Wishing
(an original promo poster for ‘Black Narcissus’ from foreign lands, featuring Jean Simmons as Kanchi) Popped along to the Filmhouse on Thursday to celebrate the MA graduating class of the Screen Academy, and in particular the Screenwriters. Was lovely to see everyone suited and booted, and swishing about proud of their scrolls. It was quite…

Time after time
Reflecting today, and looking over what I need to get finished writing-wise over the next few weeks before Santa thuds down the chimney. October was spent pretty-much getting into the jist of my new course at the Screen Academy. I’ve gone from 1 day a week to now 3 days, and whilst I’m loving it,…

Days Like This
At the last moment, on the last day (today), I submitted to ‘Days Like This’ at The Scottish Book Trust. I wasn’t going to put anything in, then I read this post which inspired me to write about something that matters. So I did. Thanks Potdoll.

Stars Make Noise
Here’s one of those things that shouldn’t really be that surprising, and yet, it fascinates, a brilliant little piece from BBC News on how stars make noise. Scientists have recorded the sound of three stars similar to our Sun using France’s Corot space telescope. Interesting article here. You can click on various links on the…

s.e.x.
I’ve touched (oo-er) on this before in a previous post, but I’m back to redrafting the feature written over the summer which is ostensibly a comedy with a romantic element and a lot (hopefully) of black humour… and it’s also the project that features some rather rude and somewhat earthy elements. This makes me a…

Interesting events
Interesting event 0.5 : Fellow writer, Laura had a birthday party from heaven – she rented a screening room and showed ‘Back to the Future’! Was great fun, and I’d forgotten so many of the images and in-jokes from that film, ahhh nostalgia. Kudos to everyone who dressed up in an 80’s (and 50’s) stylee,…

Song meme
Laura says : Find a song that sums up what you think it means to be a writer and post the lyrics on your blog and why you’ve chosen it.NB: It doesn’t have to be your favourite song, it just has to express how you feel about writing and/or being a writer. It can be…

Let’s not get carried away…
Today is my last official day at the Screen Academy on the MA course! Actually feels rather odd after nearly 4 months out in the wilderness of real life (ok it wasn’t that bad, but you catch my drift). Since I’m also going to be re-matriculating in a week or so as a student for…

A Blogday is not just for Christmas…
Missed my own blog birthday! It was on the 15th September! 2 years and counting – who’d have thought it. Roll on the next 1… I’m trying to decide what kind of short I want to make. It’s more difficult than I thought it’d be…..
