Well, the momentum playwriting sessions have started up again, and because they don't want to lose us, they have extended the age limit of the group, so I can still go! I'm going to try and give it a really good go this year, as I'm not counting on them upping the age limit again next September. But now I'm thinking, what shall I write? I'm obviously working on a couple of projects at the moment, but none of those fit in with the Momentum guidelines (unless those get changed this year too). Our exercise for this week is to find a newspaper story that you could dramatise (yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have homework) so perhaps that might give me some ideas. Got quite drunk actually after the session was over! Spent a good portion of the time at the pub spouting on about Christopher Marlowe to some unsuspecting BA English final year student. Hope I've not scared him off coming to Momentum now! Could have been worse though, I could have been drinking rose...Word on my work PC is being stupid and keeps crashing; I was going to do a bit more towards my NaNoWriMo this lunch time, but now I'm not sure that I want to in case the whole thing crashes and my words gets lost somewhere in cyberland. Tonight I'm having a dedicated writing night, as I'm hoping to get through another couple of thousand words for NaNoWriMo, and also to start my story submission for Tripod. This may be a bit over-ambitious, as I may end up doing all the washing up and playing the Sims 2 instead, but you never know! An ode to the Sims 2 - now that would be easy to write.

*Articulates creepily*
i thought it was good that some people came to the pub... last year felt like i had to fight tooth and nail.
@alex - obviously you are not attending the sessions this year, but will you write a piece, assuming there is a call for submissions?
Your link just takes me to the home page of the Independent. What was the story?
They must have archived it since then. Go to the forum, in writing open the thread, 'It so simple;)' there's te condensed articele there.
@al I don't know. I have better places than mo to send work to now so I might not bother.
oh yeah, Bloomsbury finally interested, are they?
I turned them down.
advance too small?
chatting up the gay guy? yeah. sounds like a mistake that I'd make!
No, the advance was too big. But it wa s in a denomination I can't use.
I mean who still uses potatoes as currencY/>?
