Goals...

1) Get somebody to publish my children's novel. And have that somebody not be me.

2) Crack Treason. Because not cracking it is really irritating me.

3) Get something, anything, on the radio.

4) Watch one of my NR sketches being performed.

5) Get some feedback from a prodco on my sitcom pilot.

6) Perform a stand-up set.

Tell us about your children's novel Mister B?

Bert Of The Round Table is an alternate WWII fantasy about a boy who discovers he's the direct heir to Sir Tristan. I think it's less shit than that sounds, but I'm probably not the best judge.

Sounds great to me. Has it been anywhere, had any feedback, how many words.

Have you read the great Robert Westalls childrens books set in WWII?

No but I grew up listening to the Lakota translated version of PiPi Longstockings. I wanted to be Pipi.........monkey and all. :D

I have just started work on a children's fantasy novel, set during WWII, with Arthurian connotations. It is starting to seem like a less original concept than I thought...

I wouldn't worry, Tim, there must be about three written every week.

I was working on a kids book about a boy called Jonathon who becomes a king.

Kneel before the Jonathon King.

Think it's got potential?

Wasn't Sir Tristan a vet?

Don't think he served in Vietnam.

Vietnam wasn't WWII! :)

You've defeated me with your superior knowledge of history.

Got paid by prod co for pilot sitcom script and, although I haven't seen the cash yet, apparently sold a single joke to 118. Well done me.
