Beth: Ta very much indeed.

Congratulations to you, too, on your NaNoWriMo triumph. Leave it to one side for a month – you never know. Even if you ultimately hate it for ever, the great thing about NaNoWriMo is that it proves to oneself it can be done. Imagine what you could achieve if you could take a bit more time.

The first draft of anything is shit. Wise words, wise indeed. Now if I could just get the fifth drafts to stop reeking of poo, I’d be happier.

Wow, look at me. I’m almost peppy.

Yes – Congratulations!
(a bit late I know, but I’ve been busy churning out 50,000 words of utter banality that I’m now too embarrased to read ever again…)

Ister: Thanks very much. I shouldn’t think that, even if I win, I’ll be rolling in cash and script-groupies (oh, how I hope there are script-groupies). I’d imagine I’ll be hammering crooked nails into guitars for some time to come.

Nice one, Gerry…all the very best with this venture and I hope you win it. If you do, will this mean that your guitar work will take a back seat?

Quadruple hurrays for you. Well done – scriptwriting is very hard and it is a HUGE achievement to be a finalist. Fecking well done! x

Jason [addendum]: The head is a truly awful thing, isn’t it? It’s how I imagine a succubus to look just before taking on more pleasing form. Hmmmm. With that in mind, maybe it’s not too bad. I’m slightly aroused, now that I think of it.
