I ordered some Moo business cards today. I’m terribly excited. I had a rather fabby idea about what to put on them. They’re double-sided, you see. You can upload your own images for the ‘back’ of the card and write whatever you want on the other.
I’m not saying anything about what’s on my Moo cards. If you meet me face to face then I’ll give you one.
Then I’ll hand you a card.
Ahahaha.
No, really. If you meet me, ask for one of my cards. Then you’ll see why they are unique.
Damn. Somebody slap me.
In other news, thanks to Jez and Simon for promptly posting notes of tonight’s CBBC Q&A which I was unable to attend due to prior stuff such as
- work
- being 50 miles away
Very useful, Mr J and Mr S. I salute you both.
In fact, their notes were so damn useful that I have just kicked my second entirely new CBBC script into touch and started on a third.
Leaving it late, eh? Well, you wanna be a pro, you got to roll with the punches. I aim to get it done, and I will.
Me. Hard work. Like that.
I was doing that crissy-crossy thing with my fingers then, but I realise that you couldn’t see the gesture. Feel free to do it yourself now as a kind of 3D subtitle.
Ready? On 3. 1…2…3
Me. Hard work. Like that.
Nice.
Anyway, this third script isn’t utterly utterly new. The idea came up in a brainstorming session (read lunchtime walk with notebook) a couple of weeks ago. I chose not to develop it. Not sure why I didn’t go back to it before.
It’s been an utter pleasure shooting the breeze with you. I honestly didn’t expect to find you still up this time of night. Here, take the last Jammy Dodger along with you. I’ve had six already.
Mind how you go.
Byee!

I love my moo cards. I have the wee ones and the big ones, and both always get a good reaction.
You’re doing better than me with the ols CBBC script!
Heh. It only counts as doing better if I nail the blasted thing.
But I’m a lot happier this morning with nothing more than a scrappy beat sheet for my non-existent third script than I was yesterday with 25 of 30 pages of finished script.
It just wasn’t coming together. The words weren’t doing the idea justice.
I admire your guts putting aside a finished script to work on a new idea for the CBBC comp. It’s a really useful skill to be able to recognise when something isn’t working and to move on to a new project. Hope it works out for you!
I hope so too
But it’s all good practice, all part of the apprenticeship.
