Hey Gang. Long time no see. It's been a fucking ride let me tell you. Long story short: I'm not going to work in film (or tv, or theatre) anymore. It's been a year since I last did anything remotely related to the industry. I felt like I'd finally cracked it, and then for some … Continue reading Spring 2021.

A Great Big Catch Up.
I am in France. I was in Spain when lockdown hit, and we tried to get back to the UK but ended up here instead. I'm round the corner from where my parents used to live, in a cutesy little cottage with a big garden. I am not complaining. I think this lockdown/pandemic has had … Continue reading A Great Big Catch Up.
Day Three.
Hello you lovely lot. I've started trying to film what I'm doing but it's not going particularly well. I think I'm still quite nervous in front of the camera. Although I am finding it a lot of fun getting used to the camera again, I am horribly rusty. I think the last time I filmed … Continue reading Day Three.
The Final Preparations: ‘Myrghes’ Influences.
Hello. Happy Halloween you spooky bunch. This week my posts have both been a day early. Monday's because I was excited about sorting out "Atlas", and today's because Nanowrimo starts tomorrow. Monday I finished the character bio's (finally) of the supporting characters, and the new protagonist from Narrative Three. Tuesday I took a day off … Continue reading The Final Preparations: ‘Myrghes’ Influences.
I Fixed Atlas!
Hello, Good Morning! Happy new week! I don't know if I've mentioned this but I have been agonising over 'Atlas' for a long old time. Trying to figure out what was missing, why I couldn't balance the characters personalities, why I felt it was cheesy in the wrong way etc etc. Well, the other night … Continue reading I Fixed Atlas!
My Take On The Adverb Debate.
Good Afternoon. Today is an odd day for us in the UK: England beat Australia in the rugby, but Ireland lost to the All Blacks. Parliament are rowing over the new Brexit Deal (which I've had on for about four hours) and there's protests to remain. I feel all out of sorts and confused, and … Continue reading My Take On The Adverb Debate.
The Types Of Writing.
Hello you lovely lot! I've been thinking about all the ways in which I could format 'Myrghes'. I didn't really think about it until I read "The Testaments" by Margaret Atwood. For those who haven't read it but want to, there are three different narrators: Two of them are more traditional first person past tense … Continue reading The Types Of Writing.
Expanding My Narratives.
Hello. I missed Tuesday's post because I had a cold and I didn't really have the brain power to write anything. Instead I've been watching TV and napping (and eating, lol). Luckily I was feeling better for last nights Speakeasy performance, which went really well. I absolutely love these speakeasy's - there is such an … Continue reading Expanding My Narratives.
Extreme Structuring.
Hello. It is a lovely autumnal day in Cornwall, sunny and windy. The kennel (a man-made stream by the road) outside my office window is trickling along, which dulls the traffic noise, the air is fresh and I am wearing my second favourite jumper, about to drink my coffee. I absolutely love this time of … Continue reading Extreme Structuring.
September Round Up.
Hello you lovely lot. I don't know if you noticed, what with my frequent extended absences from blogging that I've done in the past, butI took a week or so off. No real reason, just had a week of feeling a bit burned out so I chilled out and worked on some other stuff for … Continue reading September Round Up.
