The Prisoner
Jul23
According to a noticeboard in this building, ITV are producing a 6-part remake of the Prisoner starring Jim Caviezel as Number 6 and Ian McKellen as Number 2.
Hm. I’m torn about remakes. In that… most remakes are pointless and a waste of money. But then you’ve got BSG…
Then again, it’s ITV, and they aren’t known for their high-quality TV these days.
(I’m not a huge Prisoner fan, but I’m betting some of you are, and might have stronger opinions on this one than me…)
Freshly Fuelled
Jul20
Having had a long discussion in a car with Rach, I’ve finally nailed down some stuff about Gasoline that was bugging me. Put a lot more structure in place.
So, believe it or not, I’m now starting the second draft before the first is finished.
Mostly because the first draft kinda lost its way, and a lot of the new structure really affects the half-way point of the story (which is where I was).
Second Rejection
Jul20
…which was something of a nice surprise, because I had assumed the agent wouldn’t bother to reply at all – it being nearly four months since I sent the manuscript.
Again, not a bad rejection, although I suspect it’s a form note.
Tin Man

Just watched the first episode.
What a load of tosh.
And not even entertaining tosh at that.
Bah.
Shan’t bother with any more.
Edit: Hang on… deja vu, at all?
