Steve, I read "Crazy Little Thing" ages ago when I was a lurker. It's the one with the nappy/packed lunch right?
Excellent piece of writing – although a bit too sweary for something with babies in it. I can believe that Baby Cow wouldn't be interested in it, but didn't you send it to the writersroom as well? If you got nothing from them, then that would confirm what many of us think on here that their readers wouldn't know a good script from an arse bracket.
Hi Godot, yeah, nappy packed lunch was me. Thanks for the kind words. And I agree, probably too much swearing. Although I'm just waiting for the time my baby boy quotes 'O for f**ks sake' back at me. I know I shouldn't, but I swear all the time. O, is that the sound of social services knocking?
The response I got from writers room led me to believe that they'd read it to the end at least, and they were possitive, just not possitive enough. I just want to write something that I'd watch on prime time instead of all the things that leave me cold.
Have you read my next project? 10 pages or so on the critique entitled Keeping Mum? Still a family type of mainstream idea, but with less swearing and, I hope, more of a plot.
