Rawhide!
Or at least that’s what my bum gone done felt like after a marathon writing session for the Show What You Wrote last week.
I managed to produce 4 great sketches out of a possible 10 and if anything it has really drummed in the lesson that the idea is not the sketch (nor the play, or the novel or whatever medium you choose.)
I want to share a moment, a small moment that happened at 3.a.m. the day before submission deadline.
You should totally check out Episode 2 of Newsjack – oh yes you should. Not only because it’s funny but also because it’s 4% funnier for having one of my jokes in it. I cannot even begin to describe how chuffed I am to have something I’ve written heard on National radio. So yes – go here to listen

This was an interesting article to write. If my memory serves me correctly I think I started writing this article on a completely cynical angle (in that any celebrity talking about mental health is doing it for promotional reasons) but after thinking & talking about it with my journalistic hat on I decided it wasn’t really my place to say. However, reading the article back I can still see it is not the most neutral of pieces. Still, I got some great feedback from the article (mainly along the lines of ‘this needed to be said’)
This was such a great story to write as my first commission for Together’s mental health charity magazine Time Together. Essentially this was for a storyline in Eastender’s regarding a character having mental health problems.
One of many collaborations with excellent artist (and indeed writer) James Evans. If memory serves correct this was our first comic together. Check out his blog and other artwork here. Full copy of our comic Flipside #1 can be bought at the LaLimey shop.
I loved writing this one – completely inspired by a trip to work on a very grey, drizzly morning of January the 2nd with ne’er a happy commuter to be seen!

Originally published in Revolution online magazine – now sadly closed down. This was an article about a game I had wanted to write a long time. Like most things I can see a few things I would change but I think the sentiment is spot on and I hope it explains why STALKER is a game worth exploring.
