So I’ve been a bit quiet. Well I have been busy. Just before I wrote this I sent my entry to the Red Planet competition, owned by a writing legend Tony Jordon. My first ten pages have been entered, now I doubt that I will win. But the fact that he is offering a paid commission on a programme he writes, something like Hustle (one of the best programmes) Holby Blue, or if it was still going Life on Mars. So if I get it I will be over the moon. Plus the five K will be useful.
In other works, I’ve put on hold the short story I have been working on in favour for working on a book for a competition the Times are running with the guy who found JK Rowling. (and yes I did enjoy Deathly Hallows). Its looking good, but there is a long wait, where I can be polishing my manuscript. I just have to write 50k of words. But I have a plot, and I am about to break it into chapters, and begin work tomorrow.
In other news, I have read the new Harry Potter, brilliant. Watched Bourne Ultimatum, Brilliant and see Cov go top of the Championship Brilliant. So my summer has been quite nice, away from work.
On the stero: Life on Mars soundtrack. Now in my opinion a lot of the 70’s was rubbish. However this album gets all of the good ones, like Life on Mars by David Bowie, and Live or Let Die by Paul McCartney with the witty comments of Gene Hunt. Top notch.
Got to go, got to work on some chapers.
See you next week.
