21st December 2012 - I survived the apocalypse!

This year has been an exciting year for me. I graduated from university, I got my first real job, I was commissioned to create my first promo, and I worked as an edit assistant on a feature.

But the best thing about 2012 has been the discovery of an online screenwriting community, who provide constant support and encouragement for each other, as we all endeavour to become better writers.

I would like to personally thank Claire Yeowart (@ClaireYeowart), who has provided me with valuable feedback and encouragement on all my projects. (She's also an extremely talented writer, check out Dreamland, I loved it.)

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to meet my self-imposed deadline on January 1st, as I've been preoccupied with other projects. I have some ideas how to develop The Major and the Beetle into a returning drama, but I'm putting it aside for a while to work on some other projects.

I'm currently developing two short scripts -- one about a retired boxer, the other about a break-up -- which have received some interest from directors. I'm also collaborating with another writer to develop a comedy web-series. Hopefully I'll be able to return to The Major and the Beetle with a fresh perspective in 2013.

Just to prove that I've actually done some writing this year, I'm going to post a short script I wrote in November for Collabor8te. It's called 'Not Yet the End'. (Appropriate title, considering we managed to survive past the end of the Mayan calendar. Who'da thought it?) I hope you like it.
