Another bite at the cherry
Currently in the midst of transforming a 14-page treatment into a full feature script. I had originally hoped I could reuse and incorporate material from the previous much looser draft, but the work has changed so much it’s not proving possible. A tinge of disappointment at first was tempered by the joy I felt when…

The Week of Interesting Feathers
Two interesting feathers in one week (so far). Hoping for a third tomorrow. I haven’t quite been able to totally kick creative writing this month as hoped due to workload, but have definitely scaled back. Enjoying having the opportunity to have a breather, and mull things over in my head rather than having to bash…

La Luna and Brave
I was lucky enough to see Brave today- and going to see it again tomorrow night at the official premiere. I’m not going to review it though as I don’t want to spoiler but it was (almost) outshined by the tiny animation before, La Luna. Here’s a gorgeous little clip. I adored it.

Press the pause button (or someone else will)
I haven’t blogged about it until now because it was difficult to know exactly what was going on, but I’ve been ill on and off for a reasonably long time, and more seriously so since the start of 2012. Resulting in, at the end of April, the removal of my gallbladder. As a ‘fun’ added…

Smartphone drama Persona – Karen’s story
On Monday, series three of Persona launched – the drama for smart-phones, and I’ve created a story strand and the character of Karen for it. The drama unfolds in a series of byte-sized 3-minute app-isodes exploring lots of fun characters, delivered minty fresh to your phone every day – you’ll need the app which is…

Happy New Year and Snap
An excerpt from my short play, Snap (mentioned here) which I’m currently developing into a longer piece: Dev moves around the stage as if dancing. DEVYou are the thing that we value the least. Whatever you do. How careful you are. I will suspend all hope and tend the mainsail. I will unknot anything you…
