I intend to continue writing next year, but feel I need to make a decision about where my aptitude lies and where my energy is best spent.

Good point Timbo. I have sold jokes to 118118 recently. I don't feel I would be anywhere near experienced enough to write or even attempt to write a sitcom and I don't have the enthusiasm for that genre either. So, like you mention, its to do with your aptitude and where you feel best suits you, time is precious.

I don't wanna talk about it. Unimpressed

I'd a thought all those colons and semi colons would have appealed.

Made my first push towards a pilot today, I think it will be called "Three Interesting Facts" - Seem to have managed to get a story down, just now need to flesh it out with some characters. Really enjoying it so far.

The JunkMales had a fairly quiet year in 2008.

We set out to do more of everything but mostly did less. We are more or less treading water (as a group) at the mo. We did get a few sketches on radio which was a buzz at the time and we shot a few more videos. Dave did some acting and Danny did some standup. Mart made another baby (with help..); and I have more or else rebuilt my music studio, albeit struggling with software issues as we head into Crimble.

2009 I don't know what the group will do. We have aspirations to do "everything" while simultaneously harboring a desire to "concentrate on one thing and do it well".

Will it be "..young, new, fresh and pant-wettingly funny.."

Nope!

We encourage clean and dry panties at all times.

Have a Happy Holly and Merry Berry.

One of my New Year resolutions will be to stop posting on internet forums for a year to free up the time in the studio. So easy to get distracted on the net, I find! I have cut down on posting and want to cut it out completely by Jan 1.

Best o' luck in 2009 to all you BSG writers, stand ups, actors and creatives of all types and genres. My heart is with you!

Frankie xxx :)

I joined in January I think and have had a grand total of one appalling sketch performed at NewsRevue. It's so bad I can't bare to look at it anymore but it did earn me £11...not that I banked the cheque.

I've also submitted a sitcom pilot to about five prod cos, written about two dozen other sketches (all rejected) and made an aborted two thousand word attempt of NaNoWriMo.

Other than that I've had two synopsisisisissss roundly dismissed by a West End playwright but that's OK because I've made a new friend who actually knows what he's talking about.
