I've just seen a first cut of a short film (16 minutes) I wrote last summer and it looks really good! One of the main actors was the driving examiner in the last episode of Peep Show. It's nice seeing professional actors say lines you sit up and write in the middle of the night because you can't sleep.
It even made me laugh in places, because I'd forgotten the original script, although the film is about suicide. I just hope it's not the only thing I write that will ever get made.

Thanks. It's still being edited and then it's going into festivals, but hopefully put on a public site too.

Well done Dolly! Do you think your writing has improved by doing your MA? Just wondered.
I f**ked a mermaid.

Ellie has just cleaned her house and done 1.5 paintings... then ran out of white.

Cheers. Yes I think it has, not only from the fact I have a deadline but the amount of feedback, read throughs and workshopping we do, has made me think a lot more about what I'm writing.

(Sorry. That was actually part of a joke I wrote a long time ago.)
