'Up the Duff' was the first one I thought of, which actually thinking about it, isn't too nice. "Knocked up" is good, a bit 1950s American. "Bun in the oven". Can't think of any more.Lucy Ann Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024780152614835172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32557815.post-48584599722870432942008-05-28T18:35:00.000+01:002008-05-28T18:35:00.000+01:00"up the duff" is a bit strong.

HM and I perfer to use the term "knocked up"!<BR/>I find that when you write the whole "what's it about" thing really kicks in about halfway through. I mean, "Sing,sing's" biggest weakness was that it had too many things going on and there4 wasn't really "about" anything overall, wherepon I figured "Starchild and the Cave" was about transformation rather than stories, learning or potential only when I was pitching it to Fintan! I'm a lot luckier this time 'cos I figured "Alctraz" was about escape about 1/2 way through the 2nd draft and it made draft 3 so much easier. I suppose I'm just trying to say hte earlier you work it out the easier it is!andallthatcouldhavebeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00297325110177799245noreply@blogger.com
