The first draft of anything is shit. - Hemingway
So I guess the first draft of this will be no different then. Oh well.
Okay, first up I should welcome you to my blog. So.... welcome!
Secondly, I'll give you a quick rundown of what I intend to do with my corner of the web so you can make an informed decision as to whether you should click that shiny "Bookmark this page" button, or the equally shiny (but less favourable, at least in my eyes) "Back" button.
I'm an English bloke, just in my thirties, who lives in Melbourne (that's Australia for those geographically-challenged) and who has a deep and abiding love (and hate, possibly in equal measure) for the art of screenwriting. I've been writing now for a few years, currently with little commercial success and it's here, open to the eyes and minds of Internet users from all corners of the globe, that I'd like to discuss anything and everything about the art and all the emotional torture that goes along with it.
Doesn't that sound like fun?
So, if you're a screenwriter yourself, stick around.
If you've ever read a screenplay, stick around.
Hell, if you've ever seen a film then stick around.
Failing that, if the prospect of a good dose of catharsis and a few belly-laughs at one man's outpourings of pain and rejection makes those ears prick up then bookmark this page, you sick bastard.
Until next time, keep writing!

OMG! I watched both of those movies the other day Jamie... and i now relise why i never rushed to see them again!
By the way Jamie, the Caravan you saw was to symbolise the vessel for the journey the characters will undertake (and NO this will NOT improve their acting), the ewoks and their "glazed un-moving eyes" where there to symbolise the cute and cuddly exterior of a savage and barbaric cannabalistic race... (Yes they were going to eat Han Solo and Luke Skywalker and Chewie in case you forgot)AND, thirdly, the courage was to symbolise that in 20 years time George Lucas would create a character so obnoxious it makes Steve Erkle look like Denzel Washington... NOT to mention every fan walking out of the cinema going "WTF was that Jar Jar supposed to be? The retarded love child of bugs bunny and Courtney Love!"
So.... anyway, i actually was just wanting to say a quick "Hi-Ho" to James. Love your work and look forward to future creations from that mid 30's English brain of yours.
Toodlepip,

I've seen lots of movies with really shit scripts. One of them began with this four eyed boy playing with his wand under the bed and things went POOF under the covers!! And it was meant to be a kid’s movie?! Anyhoos, enough of script bashing from me. I've had the privilege of reading some of your work Jim, so bring on the good stuff! And....oh my god...oh..my..god...I GOT SOME F%^#*ING JAFFA CAKES IN MY POCKET!!! :)
Oh and "Eachoo wa wa, goonta gooonta, yub yub"
OK seriously, I'm looking forward to your future work.
Catch you later.
