Broken Cycle
Well a couple of lighter weeks gave me the chance to enter the massively over-subscribed Big Finish pitch-a-thon, with the result that I’m not pinning any hopes on my entry, regardless of how happy I was with it. Minor book development has taken place, with something that evolved from my own endless struggle…
Brighthub Free Week!
Most months I spend the majority of my spare time flipping between Kasterborous news items and writing and submitting content to Brighthub. Most of the K stuff gets done on a morning or evening, while the Brighthub content takes up a lot of my weekends. Obviously this can prove frustrating, especially when I’m…
Commentary to Controversy
So: I wrote an article over on Kasterborous that was decorated with a headline that upset some people. “Get Over It, Fangirls” was intended as a generalised “have a word with yourself!” piece aimed at the annoyingly vocal subset of Doctor Who fandom who believe that the series can’t go on beyond David…
Work-Work Balance
Something I’ve found whilst engaged in the activity of developing a career as a freelance writer is the lack of any free time. That’s not to say there is none – it’s simply that it seems very limited and irregular. For example today I wrote 4 guides for Football Manager 2010 for submission…
My First Post!
So – my new, personal home on the web at last! This is a place for musings, trying out ideas and generally keeping track of the projects I’m working on. They’re easy to lose track of as it is – I daresay it will bring back memories in a few years time to…
John Cleese – Completely Different Emcee
Prince Charles celebrates his 60th birthday this year, and among various engagements Thursday November 13th was the date that The Princes’ Trust – an organisation setup by Charles to help young people – held an evening of A-list comedy entertainment in his honour at the New Wimbledon Theatre in London. The performers were…
Britain’s got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice
Well, what can you say – it’s split the nation, pretty much like the subject matter, but Britain’s got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice was an absolute triumph for Peter Kay and Channel 4 on Sunday evening. If you missed it – shame on…
Highway to Hell
Here’s a sample from a script I’ve been writing about two musicians and their desperate attempts to make it… Dave is strumming away on his Les Paul replica, while Mick wails, cracking open a can of Carling as he goes. This is convenient, as Mick’s surname is Whails; Dave’s is Strummer MW: Whoahhhhh…
I talk to the trees
Prince Charles has recently been challenged by ministers to prove that GM crops are an environmental disaster waiting to happen. The big question is – how does he know, who told him, and will ministers accept evidence based on hearsay and attributed to barley?
This Shrinking Isle
News from the Environment Agency finally proves that everyone is after the raft of free benefits that the British Government hands out without blinking to asylum seekers and minorities. Now everybody at the Department of the Environment or whatever it’s called these days is concerned that the UK is shrinking as well as…
