Wow, it’s been quite a month. I had a day trip to BBC Writer’s Room in April where I met my very cool mentor, Paul Ashton, got a tour of Grafton House, the BBC Writer’s Room building, met some really nice, talented people, and sat in on an enlightening script readers’ meeting (they’re surprisingly positive about the scripts, actually). Since then, I’ve been planning the main characters for the screenplay I will be writing, which is great because I can pretend I’m doing something more important than AS revision. I also went to a swish event in Nottingham (see picture), where I watched a few interesting script extracts, and listened to the brilliant comic writer Dave Spikey. In May, I’m off to the TV Craft Awards, where I will meet yet more eminent people, as if shaking hands with PETER MOFFAT wasn’t enough! I seriously can’t wait. Obviously the biggest concern at the moment is what to wear. Today I spent an hour trawling through pictures of dresses on various clothes websites because I don’t want to get it completely wrong with a Bridget Jones-like disgrace. What a nightmare. Well, it’s all happening here!
