Well my working title was 'Thoughts'

Great working title - very evocative.

I wrote every book in Dulwich Library, but the f**kers won't even let me in there to eat my sandwiches.

Seems like what some women want is a free hot script to steal.

Same thing happened to me in 1939

In 1933 I also became acquainted with a 'friend' online - Margaret Mitchell - we became online lovers - butthat's another story (that she'd probably steal) and emailed her my draft of

'Blown away!'

Fast forward to 1939, Im sat in the two and nines in the Roxy in Manchester and see my script, word for bloody word!

This time though its been called 'Gone with the Wind'. Bastards! I thought... and got on my Blackberry (just before they were rationed) asap to MGM - they told me to f**k right off - so I did.

Still...what a bummer mate...been there done it too.
