Yep, one of my more interesting titles. But it is what it is yo!I am ill, and basically that means i can;t concentrate on one thing for too long without spewing. Which is not good. I cn;t fucking write basically and my head, aside from spinning from sickness, is over flowing with episode 2 of Nowhere Land. Which also means Darkness Rising is on the back burner once again. Nowhere Land is kinda

Greetings.Finally caved in and created a myspace page which has bits and pieces about stuff. Mainly an excuse to create something else, although not a lot of creation goes into it, but hey. Anyway, for those that don't care, i will be posting most posts here at the myspace page, but the myspace page is mainly a networking friends contacting page. This will remain my true home.Anyway...NOWHERE

In the midst of rewriting the pilot to Darkness Rising I come up with another idea for another show. Good thing right? Well sorta... its annoying cos now i wanna run and work on this new idea. Why? Excited about it and DR is proving troublesome. Written five pages of it so far and rewritten it three times, but i have now come up with a new angle for it which i think could be pretty cool.The

Today, I have put Nowhere Land's pilot to bed!! Yep, pretty happy with it at the moment. Printed it for some folks to read and hopefully give feedback, some have it via email, so hopefully it will be liked and I can then work up the courage to send it off. Kinda scared because I might have lost what was liked originally. Anyway... Darkness Rising is about to go into the writing stages for the

Nowhere Land episode one, or the pilot is now finished - - well this draft is finished anyway. And guess what? I like it, i like it a lot! Yeah i know i have said that a hell of lot when it comes to the shit i write, but i think i might actually mean it which is a cool thing, cos now i can properly block out this first season, maybe make notes or start episode two and move on to restructing and

Long time since last post and once again quite a bit has happened. Not a load, nothing as earth shattering as my last post. Altough i did get a letter in reply to the UNDER CONSIDERATION thing i posted a while back. Basically they are not taking anyone on this year as they have filled their books (this agency takes on novelists as well as scripters like me), but they said that if i am still

Last week i got a phone call that i missed from World Productions, remember me banging on about them. I sent Darkness Rising to them a few years ago, even have them linked on this site... anyway, i sent them Nowhere Land to a very nice lady by the name of Fenella, or Fen, anyway, misssed the phone call but got a message from her saying that she has just finished reading the draft i sent and

The thing with writing - the thing that gets me is how much your work hates you. It absolutely hates your guts. It had no thought or concern about you what so ever. You spend, days, months, sometimes, more times than not, fucking years creating, moulding, shaping this thing into something that you are happy with, something you can sell, read, do whatever ever it is that you will do with it (and i

Been ten thousand days since my last post, got caught up in life and work I guess. Lot of stuff has gone on recently and stinking work has fucked me off no end with stupidity and arse holeness (if that isn't a word, i am really not in the mood for giving two shits).Hopefully i am going to update a little more regularly from now on, but Stubbs the Zombie on Xbox has kept me busy and watching

Oh yes, not getting excited or anything but found an email in my inbox this morning saying that an agency has now got Nowhere Land under consideration. Pretty cool news, now lets forget this ever happened.A proper update will follow when i can be arsed. Writing drain at the moment and fucking shit work sucking my soul syndrom at the moment too.

The town of Hopefalls was founded in 1869 (although official records list 1882) when the soon to be Mayor William Pratchett was out hiking with his two sons and they discovered a church deep in the Fall woods. Pratchett's brother was involved in the building trade and set about to build a small community that was away from the hustle bustle of the cities.In 1882 the small community was built and

This is very very brief update, I did promise a big ass one, but as no one fucking reads this then who gives a shit and whats the point of apologising. Anyway, as you may or may not know, i change my mind a lot and always have to write stuff down, so this again, represents me writing down ideas. these ideas probably don't mean jack shit to you, but it gives a little insight and kinda helps me and

‘Last night I dreamt I was a private detective- stuck in some small little town in the middle of nowhere, and I found a book that was seemingly recording my life up until this very moment in time and the woman I love who ripped out my heart and chucked it in a recycling bin came back and didn’t recognise me.’ – Jack Burton

Hey, There all non readers who don't read this. I guess there must be something wrong with me, as there is another post today. Thats two in one day. Fuck me!Anyway, titles for two more episodes. Should give a proper update rant thing soon, but for now, enjoy and savoiur these titles and then reread the episode guide section and then wish this show was on TV and then pray that it does and then

Hey all who don't read this. This is something that was kinda helping me get clear on a few things in terms of structure and where the hell i am going with Nowhere Land but it is also very much like an epsidoe guide so as and when i get the story ideas down and i am happy with them i will post them, so here is the first two episodes kinda outlined.Episode #101: PILOTSuffering from writers block,

Basically I feel stupid today. Not gonna go into details but i feel stupid. Should have done some writing today but didn't. Didn't do anything and i feel stupid for it.Ever felt stupid?Ever wanted to just be able to view how stupid you really are and come over and slap yourself in the face and say 'hey, stop being stupid!'?I have.Wanted to do it today.Nowhere Land continues...

BEWARE HOWLERS!New day, new post. Not done much writing for a couple of days, but when i last wrote it was a cool session. Was writing episode two and nearly have the first act complete which is great progress for a change. I'm just waiting to hit a brick wall now. Been writing quite prolifically these past few months and I just can't help but think it is all too good to be true. Its especially

BACK IN BLACKSorry, its a crap title I know, but basically got bored with the shitnes of how this place looked. It doesn't look amazing really now, but it looks a little more attractive in black, than it did, white and fucking orange.Couple of bits of news...Nowhere Land: The first episode is done completely now, did another grammer, proof read check thing yesterday and it seems to be complete

Random and sparadic they may be, but what do you care, you don't read this thing anyway.Anyways, been busy slogging my guts out in a shit shop that sells shit things, wasting money on ebay and writing my ass off.Got a few projects on the go, aside from Nowhere Land which is fucking done, yay me, i am writing a short to enter into the British Short Screenplay

Hey,No one reads this so i guess there is no point, but you never know, something i have written may get some attention and thus this will get some attention. Maybe i should start updating a lot more, maybe, just maybe i should start having some god damn fucking faith in myself. Thats an interesting concept. Faith. I kinda do have faith in myself, it comes and goes. When i have it i think i am a

But that should be sorted as I have more hours at work in the place that is currently called MVC but could very well not be called that in a month or so.

Its now August, been a while since my last post, but quite a bit has happened. Laughing Gas is still going strong and very nearly finished. Darkness Rising however is, fingers crossed hopefully going places. After finally getting a printer I am now able to print out and send stuff off. Darkness Rising will be making its way to World Productions in the coming weeks with the hope that they dig it.

This site recently got a mention in the first issue of Revelation along with a short story I wrote entitled The Lonely Ones.

Today is so far so good. Been writing which always seems to make the day far brighter than it should do. I think that if I don't get a release creatively I feel like I will explode. That is not to say that by simply writing has cleared my mind of the frustrations that engulf my life. Nope. I still feel shit, just found an outlet for it. Not that I wrote to much today.

I have a telephone interview tomorrow for a job at PC world. Yay. As much as I need work, I really can't be bothered with the whole damn thing. Sure it will give me something to do, but it will take away the time I have to write, the time I have to finish things that demand to be finished. Fuck working, fuck life.

The book is my all encompasing power. Don't worry I haven't gone all biblical on ya ass! It's just that I have now decided, well decided a long time ago that this novel, this novel that I am struggling to get written is my ovewrall goal, the one thing I have to do in order to carry on. It needs to be published, it needs to be read, it needs to be understood, loved, hated, misunderstood, but it

The start of another week, hopefully not lousy, but then its not really up to me. The Laughing Gas front is a little slow this week not moving further than last week.
