Down to the wire
ScriptFrenzy update: 92 pages. That means I have to finish eight pages before midnight tomorrow. As usual in my life, I’m taking it down to the wire and pulling out all the stops. I’m mixing metaphors with abandon here to indicate the crucial timing issues at stake. I would say that I do my best […]
What are you supposed to say?
My overtired daughter is currently upstairs, wailing that she ‘wants to be a real fairy’. Bloody kids.
There are few things worse than a warm pan
Sitting on a public toilet seat that has been pre-warmed by someone else is an unpleasant experience. For me anyway. I’m unable to make-believe that nobody has ever used the toilet before me. The evidence is there, in all its alien warmth. Worse even than this though, is seeing the person that warmed it exit […]
Script Frenzy Update
I was doing so well. So well. Last Wednesday night, I reached 53 pages in my Script Frenzy work. As the day before that had been the halfway-mark, I was pretty much back on target. However, I managed to write myself into a plot-hole and I had no idea how to get out of it. […]

It’s not denial
Once again it’s Friday and I’m posting, late at night, after a bundle of beers. Regular readers may well think they have noticed a trend of sorts. To them I say, bollocks. I don’t have a problem, I just love the beer. Yummy, yummy beer. Anyway, Script Frenzy kicked off on April 1st . I […]
Hi-jinks
Pints. Many, many pints. Went to see a Steely Dan tribute band last night. They were actually quite good. All very talented. Went with The Brother and a friend that I hadn’t seen in ages. All thoroughly enjoyable stuff. Pints before. Pints during. Then popped along to a late bar. Discovered that some friends of […]

I mostly sit around all day and drink tea. Occasionally, I write stuff and send it to strangers so they can humiliate me and deride my efforts. Other than the self-harm to dull the shame of failure, it's not a bad life. Like I say, there's tea.
