You must like the quiet hours of the morning too... Pleased

Well, was writing earlier, nowt to be up for early tomorrow. Hate the first few days writing a new script. Going to give it the big push over the weekend.

How far have you got tonight. And, if it's not top secret, what is it about? :)

First few scenes are provisionally structured and scripted. It's a rom-com with a twist (I hope), about a love-lorn biology teacher who has had a string of bad luck dating women called Sarah. He's going home on the Tube one day, when he is approached by a strange man bearing a business card...

And that is all I can say at the moment. (Exciting, isn't it? :| )

Sounds good. Rom-com are the most fun to write I think. I like writing anyway, creating characters... killing them off. Whistling nnocently

...bearing a business card... come on, you can't leave the synopsis so open! :O

Sounds great. The novel I'm working on is about a girl who comes back home after years abroad only to find that everything has changed and yet it's like she's never left. Sorry, that probably sounds kind of wanky...

Sounds, contradicting but interesting. :)

Like the sound of an American using the word "wanky".

No, I always like those kind of stories. It's easy for people to identify with those kind of feelings. The basic idea gets employed a lot (especially in comedy-drama movies), but only because it is such a versatile premise. :)

"Wanky" - a word I must use more often.

Versatile premise - a phrase I muse use more often? :|

yes, there are many shitty versions of that, so I know what to avoid. But given my sense of humour, it should turn out ok.

Should? Never say should. "It will turn out OK!". :)

Thank you Captain Enthusiasm!!!

I'm actually, Captain Fantastic but I don't brag. Captain Enthusiasm is by alter-ego. Pleased

Good luck with it.

I'm going to have to go to bed shortly, otherwise I'll sleep through my morning erection (again!). And it's the only thing I've got to unblock the kitchen sink with.
