Thanks for the tip off.<br /><br />As for a Followers button... afraid not. But I think if you go to the bottom of your Blogger dashboard (the reading list) there should be a button to "add" a blog - just copy and paste my blog address into there and welcome aboard.

Actually, I still imagine that I could have my own Saturday night show like they had in the old days, like Lulu and Cilla did. I'd have been in my element singing and doing comedy sketches.

Watch it critically, if you didn't like something, work out why, and how you would have done it differently.

There is no such word as 'try', you either are or you aren't.<br /><br />More pointers.<br /><br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/ a great place to start, has lots of writing opportunities, notably regional ones, which you would qualify for. Have a crack at a Doctors script, or Eastenders, they are the shows the Beeb will read unsolicited scripts for. They used to run a shadow scheme on Doctors, and that's your way. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006mh9v<br /><br />And radio, lots of opportunities in radio. as joebloggs pointed. Radio is insatiable, and always looking for the next good play. Do you listen to any of the dozen or so radio plays there are a week.<br /><br />Do you read Danny Stack's blog ?<br />http://dannystack.blogspot.com/<br />always full of great information and advice.<br /><br />Oh and Triggerstreet, are you on Triggerstreet ?<br /><br />And if you ever need a reader, I give good feedback.<br /><br />Now go write something and get it out the door. Rejection letters were like campaign badges, you need a chest full before you are armoured enough. Be proud of them.<br /><br />And forget agents, and all that crap. For the time being.<br /><br />Apologies if you know all this...Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070505642533336362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-74470933670910059872011-09-30T08:24:45.465+02:002011-09-30T08:24:45.465+02:00TimeWarden: hmm.
