Shameless list of press releases...

Weeeeeeeell, hello there. How the devil are you? I know, I know, I've been negelecting you. Actually, according to my Google analytics, I've only been negelecting the perverts who turn up looking for stories of people having sex in Travelodges. Hi, perverts! How ya doing?

I do have actual blog posts planned on writing, with themes and everything, but I also have some career updating to do and that always sits kind of strangegly at the end of proper blog posts. Let's see... It's one week till comissioning rounds close for CBBC, and I have two pitches in there for the very first time, including one which you, my gentle readers*, told me to write in the first place. You must be so proud. So we'll see how those go.

I'm also writing an outline for another kids show, of which more here... that's all very exciting as it's the first time I'm working on something I've not just made up by myself, and therefore feels more like actual employment. All things being well, that should transmogrify** into a full script sometime soon. Unless I get fired, of course.

And... a meeting about a script that was previosuly all edgy and teeny has resulted into that probably being whitled into a pre-teen sitcom as well.

So, I seem to have turned into a children's writer over the past couple of months, which is lovely and fun. But just to keep a couple of rods in the fire, I also had a meeting about a script where someone gets murdered with an axe that also went quite well. Expect to see it on CITV next year!


*And perverts.


** Underused word, that.

I am fine and pleased to see you are doing so well.

Yeeha!

You can be the sole name on my list of screenplay writers, for when the time comes to turn my novels into hugely successful films.
