    I finished my script for the Scotland Writes competition.  I’m quite pleased with it.  The First prize is £1500, second is £500 and there are up to 20 places on a 1 day seminar type thingy.  Obviously the money would be nice but I’d be delighted to get one of those places.  And plus I would just spend the money on sweets.

    I’m also formulating a script for the stage at the moment.  I love writing dialogue, and think/hope I’m alright at it.  There are quite a few opportunites for Scottish based writers at the moment (check out the BBC’s Writers Room for details) I also discovered that the Traverse Theatre have an open submissions policy for scripts and run a number of writing initiatives.

    Writing – it keeps me off the streets.
