Believe it or not Braden, it started life as a spec script for a TV Drama Series pilot. I submitted it to the BBC who rejected it with a brilliant letter full of praise and advice (which I since learned was very unusual) which said they had 'deliberated' but in the end 'were not quite convinced' type of thing. so I put it away for a couple of years, always intending to rewrite it, but life's essentials got in the way, and I never got around to it.

I actually started writing my 'novel' based upon the script about 2 years ago - yes, I am not as disciplined as I once was - and have worked on it in fits and start fashion. (This bloody forum diverts me away from my real writing ).

I had also another 'near miss' with another spec script submission - again I received a brilliantly encouraging letter back - and I have sold a couple of short stories, in addition to having won a couple of writing contests when I was younger. I love writing and especially love words.

Do you write Braden? I'd be very interested in hearing about it from you if you. You can always pm me.
