Your gerbil is a right poser in front of the camera!! Has he been watching America's Top Model?? Hope all's well with you x

Hope you have a lovely day.X

How did you get on at your interview?

Lol. But no sinister lurking. I'm always glad when people stop by. Hope you're well

Is Shaun the Sheep doing the Saturday Night Fever Dance in your avatar. It makes me smile eveytime I open that tunes thread. Hope you're ok. Coffin Nail (Lauren)

Hi Abbie, I just read your post about your 'uncle'. I'd tell your mum if I were you. Drunken uncles, getting intouch sounds a bit creepy to me. Take care hun. xx

I'd never make it on the list either as theyre notoriously snotty when it comes to crime drama. Good job I'm a script writer, I'll be BAFTA bound before I know it. A good edit always feels better and a map or list helps no end. I've got about 50 mins of TV so far, so I'm about a third of the way in. Trying to be original in the crime genre is prooving tricky but at the very worst its at least as rubbish as other stuff on TV, and at the best it's a diverting life challenge that I'll never let go. Keep the faith matey....everything is possible! ;-)

Glad you told somebody. I've had a lovely day today, and I'm just off to bed after a late night last night. I can't do late night anymore it takes me a week to recover. Catch you tomorrow no doubt. Happy word associating. Night x

Tee-hee. By the time I get to the BAFTA's I'll be easy to recognize, everyone will be tripping over my zimmer frame whilst I try to stalk Ken Stott. I prefer grit to gloss. But I'm aiming for a northern Lynda La Plante so I guess its inbetween. I'm trying to steer clear of police procedural and write it through the eyes of a very amiable serial killer who runs a shelter for victims of domestic abuse. She only kills the bad guys and composts them. She's sleeping with the local DI too. I've promised myself a read of the fantasy market just as a change from crime.

The DI is completely safe, he might be her little helper though. I want the audience to question her sanity, and they should want to her to get away with it. Always good to be present at the birth of a new idea. The worst thing is when you have an idea that's more exciting than what you're currently working on. Sounds a bit Bladerunnery. Cool. Hope you'll give my script a read before I do the mail out to production companies. Enjoy your musing...

How was the curry? Hope you're feeling a bit less anxy today. Lauren x

Well now I'm really curious about the cure for writers block. Hope you're fine and dandy.

I'm ok. Gave the paintwork another coat of undercoat (I'll never buy the cheap stuff again, half the price but twice the work) and I've sanded polyfilla. As it's peeing down and I'm stuck indoors, I'm waiting for the dryer so I can iron the laundry. Nowt you can tell me about glamourous lifestyle. I keep trying to write, but to no avail. I can't work out what the matter is. Odd. x

You're in my thoughts hun. XX

Hi Ned. Not seen you post for a while and was just checking you were ok. Hope so. The place isn't the same without you matey. Coffin Nail x

I made a classic mistake. Writing what I thought was required rather than writing what makes sense to me, and what I want good scripts to be. I got bored with it. Now I've gone back to my original plan and it feels much better. Thanks Rob

No bookshops???? I always thought I'd like small town life. Think I'll have to think again now.

How are you?

Hope the blisters aren't giving you too much grief and hope you had a great trip. CN x

Hey-up flower. I was just going to send you my email addy. Will pm.

Then you can send your scribbles.

All's fine and dandy with me. Got the spring decorating bug.....I should know better.

I'm surprised you're not up a mountain this weekend or is it too easy when the sun's shining and you prefer trenchfoot and chilblains??

And when you got through all that, you went home and the sun came out!!!! Ain't life grand. Congratulations matey. Where are you and you Kendal Mint Cake conquering next then?

Aaah penny dropping now. I'm all for teaching the young 'uns about self reliance, I think we baby them far too much. What a fabulous example to set Mac.

I know its all lies, you just wanted an excuse to dress in a nuns habit and sing the Sound of Music, and up a mountain was the only place you could get away with it.

Tell the truth....the sponsorship money goes to pay your therapist......doesn't it. LOL

Lost my crappy day job today, but if I'm gainfully employed by the time you venture forth Highland style, stick me down for a tenner.

Happy Birthday Janet. Hope you had a good day and some good pressies. X

Hi Sarah, not said hi for a while and was wondering if things were well with you. X

I'm going to see the Dropkick Murphy's tomorrow. I would have missed it if you hadn't told me who they were. Thanks. How are you?

All's well with me flower, I've had four different butterfly species in my tiny plot this year and everytime I see one I think about you. If I see anything weird I'll photo it and show you. The more things I grow, the more bugs I see. Fabulous. Hope you get over cold soon hun xx
