Where am I?
Or more specifically, ‘where have I been’? Dear blog, it has been four weeks since my last confession. All sorts of depravity has occurred (mostly while in London). Myself and Heather attended the Arthur C Clarke Awards where Heather was Composer in Residence And I admit it, while I’ve been away, ever so briefly for fancy-dress purposes, I had a moustache.
The shame. But what have I been doing other than that? It’s something I’ve been asking myself. I’ve worked hard on my application for the BBC Writer’s Academy. Another writer I know said recently they’d rather
slit their wrists than slum it writing an episode of Eastenders.
Gosh. Personally, I’d rather blow an audience’s socks off with a me-written episode of Eastenders, hope it caught producers’ attention so they had me back AND get paid for the pleasure at the same time. Does that make me an idiot? 
I have also been chasing various competitions and schemes a bit much and definitely trying to second guess what I think people want when writing. So over the next few months I’m going to take some time to write me-specific stuff again and getting it right just for me. Even if it means letting schemes or competitions fly past me.
Maybe I’m just inspired by the lovely fun new Star Trek movie - boldly going where no one has gone before and so on. Then we’ll see where that takes us. Fingers crossed.
