Convergence Festival: Be honest, open, and upfront
This morning’s Convergence weekend as part of the New York Film Festival has been driving the point home that people want to see good, relevant content, and most of all people want to work with honest, open and upfront people. Who wouldn’t really?
Read MoreWhat I’m going to see at the London Screenwriter’s Festival
So I’m going to London on Saturday night for 9 days and I’m so excited. Not only do I get to see all of my amazing friends, read through Raptured with the cast, and go to a Woman of the Year luncheon for my work with the riot cleanup in Clapham Junction, but I also get to be part of this year’s London Screenwriters Festival.

I’m really excited. I have to fly through London on the way to China for our half marathon. When I’m on the way back I get to speak at Transmedia London 5 on 29 May, 2012 at BAFTA. I’ll be talking about my web series Raptured, what I learned from making the first series and what I’m going to do with the second series (eek!).

It’s all oranges and lemons in Relleu
It is officially day 4 of my trip away to write. This is probably the first time I’ve ever done this. So far I’ve been semi successful. I’ve written the outline to a short film (that I should have done a month ago), wrote 2 blog posts and completed the first 11 pages of a screenplay. I also played an entire game of Civilization, taught Karen how to play Cribbage, watched the first episode of Treme and re-read Salinger’s “For Esme – with Love and Squalor.”
