... C C C C C Cocaine!! Nice to hear others listening to great music!! i'm stuck with a radio at work...

Best thing o do when writing essays is not to write them in order... just write whichever bit you want to in no order and then stick all the bits together. That's how I got round my essay block/attention span deficit!! :thumbsup: ;)

Yep you need a break from your PC dude.
I get that way when I'm writing my script, fictional diary, web page etc etc.

Like agent dan says, it's best to scatter brain and type bits of different parts then add em together later.

Works well for me that. Plus regular breaks from screen to pomder what would write best (listen to music, watch some rubbish TV or go for a drive) then come back n do more.

Mental/writers block is bitch when it takes hold!

Whats the essay?

Oh really? You don't sound like you're working too hard... ;)

Do you do theatre, media or english if you're script writing?

Script huh, nice :thumbsup:
Movie, Play, TV or Other?

I'm more of a screenwriter myself (never published, since I'm still perfecting the first), and I'm down to my 4th rewrite so far.
Like to come back to it every now and again.

What's your influences, what genre do you write?

Romantic comedies are not my forte, much prefer Thriller/Serial Killer/Horror genre when writing.

However, would be more than happy to give the play a once over for you... some constructive feedback.
PM me if you like and I'll supply email details for ya.

I may even do the same as soon as I'm happy with my creation.

Have fun @ the arena.

Likewise! I mainly write very silly comedies. More of a purveyor of action/thriller/horror than a writer, so if YOU want an objective opinion DB let me know!!

Annabelle the Sheep is the BEST ever. Make sure you watch all the different dances - I convinced myself that the type of music resulted in different versions. Don't have a fully formulated theory that I can remember tho' just more bass resulted in more hardcore dancing and v.v.
