Sir Peter Ustinov Award script
My Sir Peter Ustinov Award script is complete. 'Side Tracked' it's called, and although it's not something I would normally write I'm happy with what I've written and proud of the hard work I put into it. Now I just hope it gets me somewhere, if only a nice letter of encouragement.
So fingers crossed and I'm already on to my next project 'Manchester Divided'

Sir Peter Ustinov Television Scriptwriting Award.
There's been a slight gap in posts I have to admit, not to sure why, just think it's the fact that, one; I'm lazy, and two; no ones reading.
Now, because on one is reading this I find it hard to add anything new because it feels like I'm just writing to myself, and that's just masturbation. At the same time if I don't come on here often enough and network, how the hell is anyone gonna know about this genius blog if I don't try?
So, I'm gonna try.
I'm working on something new (How many times is that gonna be written on here?). This time I'm writing for the Sir Peter Ustinov Television Scriptwriting Award. A competition is designed to motivate non-American novice writers under the age of 30, and to offer them the recognition and encouragement that might lead to a successful career in television scriptwriting. So, I'm starting a fresh and writing something for all the family!! Yeah right. I'm curbing the language, which is hard and trying to make the theme of the piece for everyone. No shootings to the face is this Mr Knight. The working title is Side-tracked but that will all change just like the story is day by day.It's great to see how the seed of an idea comes and you think you're set to start and then you character, someone you created, total out of the blues says something, something that you never had planned, and it changes the whole 3rd act of the piece.And that's whats happening here, all of a sudden something changes beyond my control and I have to start all over again, rewrite scenes to the Nth degree and totally drop scenes all together. Scenes that I was totally happy with, now gone!!
It kills me.
So there you go, that's what I'm doing now.

More on the new stuff
Well, I've nearly finished the first draft and I have to say I'm happy with what I've done but once I've put it to one side and sat down and re read it at some later date they'll be things I'll pick up on.
The formatting of the thing can be a bitch because I've still not fully got down what a working script looks like. They're all so fucking different so I'll get it as close as I can the leave it there.
Nothing more to report really.
Can I say a big thankyou to all of those of you who do not read this blog, nor leave any comments.
One day you will all read this blog and cry with shame.
