The Month of May was not kind to me.

So what’s going on in the world of Me. Not a lot. Survived May just. I had four bible talks to write, a short story to enter, for the Black Library, and stock take at work. Plus I wanted a life. Well I did everything on the list apart from maybe a life.

However recent events have thrown a stick in my works. I have been writing a script, which now thanks to the kidnapping of Madeline McCann. Is not going to be approved when sent in due to kidnapping of a teen being a big part of it. With the recent rewrites of similar plot lines for Corrie and Eastenders I am a bit stuck. However I rather have that little girl back with her parents than my script on telly.

I have been reading the Beach by Alex Garland, tis very good. It’s a look at what life is like when we remove all of life’s excess. When I say excess I mean technology, and is very enjoyable. Well written and fast moving, you can easily find that you have read 200 pages when you were only going to read a chapter. I recommend it.

Also have seen pirates of the Caribbean 3. Very good. Much better than the second to be honest. The second was a character piece, and spent far to long introducing all the main protagonists, while the third was a romp from Singapore, to the ends of the earth and back to shipwreck cove. Very funny, great acting from Johnny Deep go see it. Now.

I am off to church and then when I return I am going to bash out a basis for my new four book idea. I have got to stop thinking and get down to writing.

Update

Hey up

So I have been a bit quiet, but I have been working hard at work. It’s stock take at the time of writing and I have been working getting all the accounts up to date, and now am sitting not doing a lot entering the data ate s it comes in from the warehouse.

While I have been working hard on entering the Black Library’s short story competition. I have an idea, I have a way of killing a planet, I have my synopsis and my writing piece. Now I just needed to get it proof read, (thanks Lorna) and now I need to enter it.

In other news I am working on a website, to showcase my writing. Using the wonders of my Mac and Iweb it should be up shortly, well as soon as I build it that is. But using Iweb it won’t take to long ☺ watch this space to get the address.

I am currently reading through I Jedi which is obviously from the Star Wars universe. its alright, I am reading it to mainly take ideas for a small synopsis I am preparing. It will probably never been made, but I like the idea with. It’s a decent read and is easy to read, but I think the fact that its also set in the same time with a trilogy of books that come under the title The Jedi Academy trilogy. I read these at the turn of the century, and so can remember some details, and thanks to Wiki I can find out the rest. I am now looking for the Thrawn trilogy books on ebay.

In terms of Doctor Who it has gone from strength to strength I feel that the two Dalek episodes were a bit weaker, but they were still very good. Especially like the Harry Potter reference in the Shakespeare Code. Can’t wait for book 7.

Anyway this is this blog post over and out.
