I'm from Ireland originally but have lived in England for years now. I write comedy sketches, jokes and one liners.
Am now attempting to try my hand at screen writing...to be continued..
My entry for the Sci-Fi Short Story Competition is now complete. Wish me luck.
It is available here: http://www.circalit.com/michaelvank/projects/project_1330810783/
Please take the time to write me a review, as this forms part of the competition criteria, thanks.
Ah yes I do remember you saying you like your sketches, in fact just as I wrote that I can see it there in your description. I guess this site is not geared up so much for that stuff. I suppose you can make them as shorts but at that point people will look at them as such and they must be a different beast.
I have been jotting down all of my ideas. All in different stages. I wrote my first short and entered it into the Ben and Jackie comedy comp. At the moment it looks like its in the top 10 which is good but lots of time left yet and lots of good entries. Other than that I have the first act of a feature and completed a first draft of a long short (its not really either).
After getting staff feedback from one of my scripts I have decided to write as many of my ideas as possible with the idea that in theory I should improve, using the advice I have received. I think perhaps I am, but reviews on here have dwindled a little of late.
Ange,
When are we going to get your next project. I credit you with keeping me on here for so long as Hold the Line was the first thing I read on here and still one of my faves. Now I want the next one :-)
That would be good, it may become more alive and active then. Right now it reminds me of the film 'The Others', you have to lock shut one door before entering another, then shut that one and on and on. Sorry for the moaning, but this site is great and it's a shame we're not able to use it to it's full potential.
Glad to hear changes are in hand though.
