How did you get here? And where are you going? Page 5

I joined in May 2007. I was looking for pointers on a sitcom I was considering writing. I nearly joined a few months before that, but I took one look at Critique and thought "Maybe not...".

Have you written that sitcom yet, Ben?

I did and it was terrible. Never managed to finish one since. Maybe when I'm in my 30s, I'll tackle another one.

Do it now. By the time you're in your thirties your best years will be behind you, creatively speaking.

Have you ever killed a nun Ben?

I'm 37 years old, Chip, so I rather think that decimates your theory in one swift blow. Unimpressed

Errr

I was looking for writing opportunities as I'd done a bit of what you could laughingly call comedy sketch writing at college. Went into writing opps on this site and started having a bash at Newsrevue and Treason Show and only found success when offering them the rites to my pension.

The future: I have a sitcom which is faltering quite badly in several places and am in the middle of moving house.
