Ok, once again, here I am apologising for not making regular posts....even though I'm probably only apologising to myself, as I'm the only person who ever reads this waffle!
I'm a WRITER........I should be writing. But LIFE seems to be getting in the way.
What with Work, Women (well, ma Julie), Kids, Alcohol, Dieting, More Alcohol.....there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day. Even whilst typing THIS, I was called downstairs to make my beloved a cup of tea! She also happened to be sitting NEXT to the kettle!!!! Either I'm too soft, or the 'stuff' between my ears is! Either way, I have decided. It's time to make a stand.....Circle the wagons and take the bull by the horns!!
I MUST MAKE TIME FOR MY WRITING.
To be fair, I have written a couple of new scripts recently. But they were only 'one minute' efforts, written specifically for the Northern Film & Media 'Sound & Vision' scheme. But because there was a deadline, and I'd never attempted to write anything TO MUSIC before, I thought I'd give it a go.....
I was pleasantly surprised. I think I managed to write something that complemented the piece of music I chose, AND make it engaging, with a lingering afterthought!! So if I don't win, I wanna know WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha.
Next up, is the STINGERS competition, again from NF&M (what would we do without them, up here in The North, cut off from the Glitz and Glamour of old London Town??). I've got until the 30th October to produce another masterpiece - 5 mins, or less. Any genre.
I've even heard rumours of a '4 character/1 theme or event' half-hour play competition that I wouldn't mind entering.
So, like I said. The time has come to make time. The words wont write themselves!!
Oh, must go now. There's my better-half calling me. Probably wants me to take the wrapper off her Kit-Kat......
