enraged from Edinburgh
Open note to white van/lorry man : 1) Start driving AT LEAST 2 feet from the back of my car or I will be forced to drive at 12 mph for the rest of the journey as long as I can get away with it. 2) Stop cutting into the perfectly calculated driving space that…

Karma and the legacy of Black February
I’m ill. It’s karma getting me back for acting all superior when everyone around me was coming down with the same bug a few weeks ago. Karma (or Black February as I like to call it) is now also getting me back by nearly giving me a heart-attack with this mornings post. For contained within…

Small Screen Gothic
Got my marks back for that damned Market Analysis I’ve been moaning about interminably for what feels like months – and wonder of wonders I got a D1 for it (that’s Distinction in the weird marking system). I was seriously worried about that module because I wasn’t able to get the primary interview I desperately…

thinking outside the box
Been working hard this week so haven’t had much chance to blog. First off I’ve been researching and photographing vintage clothing for my day job, whilst also earning a buck doing some online things. Secondly, and not least, I’ve had stuff to do for Uni including an idea for the ‘Writing for Interactive Entertainment’ module…

Hello I’m MJ and I’m an occasional whiner
How pathetic was my last post!!?!? I’m ashamed of it now, but am going to choose not to edit it out of existence as I think that might be even MORE pathetic of me. On reflection, I was having a bit of a rotten writing day when I wrote it, but pffft today I am…

Now what….
Here’s a question….. I’ve finally finished the novel I’ve written – it’s adult fiction – but now what? It felt sort of satisfying to finish it and then I started getting an odd sinking feeling in my stomach as I realised that writing and finishing it wasn’t enough – I want people to read it…

Shoes for all
I’m in a trivia frame of mind rather than a writing one today. As some of you know, I wear a vintage clothing hat sometimes when I’m trying to make a living, and today I got a catalogue for an upcoming auction of the MOST fabulous shoes (I know, a million cliches spring to mind…

It’s a quiet news day but…
It is indeed a slow news day BUT I have 2 things to report – I now have a fringe and more importantly I have a new mug (as you can see) which replaces the sadly deceased ‘pink poodle wearing sunglasses’ one. On an even less interesting note, I have the cold BLAH. I feel…

Dream topping
I saw Dreamgirls last night. It wasn’t one of those films I really fancied but a friend had a spare ticket and hmmm it was interesting. It had some GREAT bits (Jennifer Hudson’s character in particular is fantastic – strong and fiesty and believeable – and what a voice) but quite a lot of dodgy…

then two come along at once…
Some of you may recall me moaning a few months ago about missing a Richard Jobson talk because of my sudden and unexpected lack of interview for an MA assignment that was due in about Screen Project Development. Another interview was found at short notice and after 2 days smacking it into shape, it eventually…
