In which Will just kinda rambles*EDIT*
Not much been happening in my life. Still no sign of a job :¬(
I made a decision at the end of last week. I’m going back to uni. Kind of. I’ve signed up for a creative writing course through the Open University. I’m hoping that it’ll kick me into action and get me writing more. I did do some writing today and am hoping to do a bit more on Friday. We’ll see what happens with that one.
So Battlestar Galactica has finished. Was kinda surprised by the ending as it was more upbeat than I thought it would be. I was expecting, considering how dark the series was at times, that it would be a kill ’em all ending.
Now all I have to look forward to watching sci-fi wise on Saturdays is Dollhouse which has steadily got better of the season. The last episode was described by everyone as a game changer and it certainly was. See Fox? THAT’S why you should have had a big old glass of shut the frak up and let Joss do his thing. I don’t think it’s much of a coincidence that the episode with the least amount of studio interference is also the best reviewed thus far.
This is ordinarily the time of year when I’m looking forward to the return of Dr Who. But, of course that’s not happening this year. And there’s no sign of the second series of Ashes To Ashes. Ah well, at least I have new Red Dwarf to look forward to soon.
It’ll soon be Script Frenzy time again. You all know that I took part in the first two, completing it the first year and failing last year. Well, I’m not bothering this year. I don’t really have a story I’d like to tell. I know that I can adapt something if I really want to. But I’d rather write something new. What I am going to do is my very own NaNo instead. I’m going to take one of the novels I’ve started (probably the fantasy crime novel) and hopefully, throughout the month of April, finish it. The word count for NaNo is 50,000 words, right? That should be doable.
Spent last Wednesday ranting at the TV as I watched, and subjected a couple of friends to, the Aberdeen – Dunfermline game. I’ve always supported Jimmy Calderwood in the past when people have wanted shot of him but this time I simply can’t. Yes, he’s stabilised the club but he doesn’t seem to be able to take things to the next level. Time for him to go.
Slowly getting my new room sorted. I discovered that I took with me pictures from my trip to Odense (pronounced Oonsey) and Italy, so I’m planning to scan them into my computer. And I might share them. In the meantime, enjoy younger me:
Me in Odense, aged about 13. See if you can spot me.
Me and a couple of friends in Aberdeen 14 years ago.
Have to go soon (going to watch Betty Blue. The unedited directors cut). But before I do so, three things:
1) I’m still looking for feedback on the idea posted in this entry
B) As said above I’ve done some writing today. Mostly editing work on one of my short stories, Justification. I’ve expanded it to about twice it’s length and am therefore refering to the current draft as the second first draft. As such I need people to read it and give me feedback. Drop ne a note if you are interested.
3 or C or iii) My next entry is my 1500th one. So this is your last chance to ask me questions. I’ll be posting it next Thursday so you have a week. And you can’t say I didn’t warn you.
Will
*EDIT*
Anyone else see something wrong with the bit I’ve circled here?

Always happy to read your stuff, that is if you find my comments help! Glad you’re taking a creative writing course. I find being in a course really helps motivate the writing/revision.

Sorry to hear you’re not taking part in the frenzy. I’m actually taking part for the first time this year. I’ve decided to adapt a great book that I am furious no one has attempted to make a script out of. It’s a book I’ve loved for a long time and will love adapting and changing to a format for the screen. Was looking forward to racing ya to the finish… maybe next year. Later,

I’m feeling that big hole where Doctor Who should be too. 🙁 Best of luck with the Open University stuff. 🙂

Questions – Your favourite place in the world? Your favourite place in Aberdeen? Have you ever done something you regret? If so, what and elaborate? Do you believe in the concept of ‘the one’/soul mates/other half in order to be complete? OD bookmark/friend/favourite that you would most like to meet and why? I might think of some more, but here is a starting point x x x

I’d have given you a wave if I’d known you were watching the game. I was unfortunate enough to be there! (after an afternoon spent chatting to an – ach spit – Celtic fan and pondering how big a rogering we were going to give Rangers in the Final….._ (cue song…’I shoulda known better…’

Oh man, I am just shuddering with anticipation over the Red Dwarf ‘Dave Specials’. I have been watching every old episode back over the last couple of weeks. Problem is, I have reached series 7, so my motivation to carry on watching has waned slightly knowing that I have several episodes with Kochanski in them left to watch.

RYN: I’d recommend checking out netflix if you can for the Wire. Yeah, I’ve caught most of Dollhouse (missed the last two episodes) and haven’t been overwhelmed. I’m watching Firefly for the first time and think that it is leaps and bounds better than Dollhouse.

Honestly, the sparkly vampires bit isn’t so strange sounding in the book. I have to admit, it is a bit cheesy in the movie, but it followed by a scene in a meadow where his skin doesn’t really sparkle as such. He’s more luminious. I have all the books and they are easy reading and addictive, thus their popularity x x
