    Lovely little tale
  4. Sasha hit me up on skype I ran a creative writing program for a year at school
  5. Spreading GA onto social media is a great idea - for the promotion of hosted/premium/published authors. Everything is going in the right direction I'd like to volunteer to help out with the social media team I admin a couple of facebook groups for my course so I have a little experience in the field
  6. AT LAST Congratulations sweetie Hoping you will still keep me on board your team when I return from the states
  7. Good to hear GA also helped me to accept myself and i've made some life long friends on here one in particular
  8. A script anthology would be an excellent idea for next year The thing with writing a play, it is as difficult as a novel because you have to fit the whole character arc and story into around 80 pages worth of script. This is highly difficult to do. I work in a devising theatre company, so we don't tend to use scripts. We tend to use prompts (like the writing prompts). For example, in my production 'Why do they do these things while they sleep in the fields of elysium' our prompt was a ghost story about children in a school. This turned into about an hour of material which we cut down. Another example would be I created a 15 minute performance (around 10 pages) with a co-performer purely from the instructions One Actor: 'The other performer is trying to kill you. You must defend yourself in any way you can.' Two Actor: 'The other performer is suffering from mental delusions. You must attempt to calm them in any way you can'. (For your interest I was Two Actor ) This actually led to a 3 hour improvisation, which we eventually cut down to 15 minutes If there is a script anthology there will almost certainly be an entry from me
  9. This was an absolute pleasure to edit for Cassie. She wove a tale of pure brilliance. Sadly, I'm not here to discuss it but its one of my favorite stories on GA at the moment I'm Team Chad All the way I love him as a character, but my absolute favourite characters were Tibial's two children. So innocent and so cute - or even Chad's landlady. All characters that have such depth to them even though their 'screen' time is limited Cassie darling you are a genius with the written word. Keep going! I will be back on form when i return in September to keep working at stuff with you
  10. Torch Lake in Michigan mike ^^
  11. Happy Birthday! I not that far behind you on the old man scale xD
  12. Um... wow. I'm actually coming to the States. It just hit xD 7.30 tuesday morning Its actually happening. OMG! eeeeeeeee! I cannot wait 9 weeks work, 2 weeks travelling with the bf and meeting people, 2 weeks with just the bf YAY! *moment of excitement still going, but over for this blog*
  13. He was genuinely a very nice guy and very wise. He enjoyed advising others and i'm sure everyone will remember him dearly. Rest in peace Vic.
  14. So I haven’t updated my life in ever. So here I am J I broke up with Ben, it just wasn’t working for me. A big step for me really. But then a few months down the line, I realise something. There was someone I’ve liked all along. Back when he was having issues, I was there to comfort him and well, I guess you could say I tried to deny my feelings. Well that didn’t work. Thanks to alot of matchmaking from Jammi and Nephy giving me the actual man balls to do it. I asked him out in October. We’ve been together ever since. I love him and that’s all there is to it. We are spending our summer holiday together and its going to be amazing <3 So in other news. I have grown to hate idiots. I feel surrounded by idiots and I don’t feel intellectually stimulated in my day to day life. I can be stupid as can everybody, but I’m just fed up. I get to a point where I can’t even have conversations with people here without feeling awkward, shy or introverted. And that’s not who I am anymore. It was me 6 months ago. Not now. I’ve changed. For the better. I have confidence in my ideas and I have confidence in defending myself in a debate. I feel like an academic before my time. And that’s exactly what I want to be. Professor in Theatre, Film or Literary Studies. One day. That’s the dream. American education or british education would do me fine. I get the feeling that one of my class friends is following my author page, so this is a direct message to her. It's not just you. It's everyone. I need to get away from everyone at university for a while. Clear my head and lower my expectations of the world in general. I expect too much from people and that’s why I get annoyed. Let me explain to GA. I had a presentation this year. My section was full marks. The rest of the group brought me down. And it annoyed me. I freaked out. I haven’t had a proper conversation with them since… Awkward cuz I’m living with one of them next year. I’m already kinda regretting that decision, but I know we will grow together again next year. I hope. Otherwise I’m living in the library studying or on Skype skyping. So, I decided my final project idea For next year. I have to submit a 10k thesis about three quarters of the way through the second semester. I’m going to look at 1930’s musical and animated cinema and look at them as individual social and political texts. But then also reflect on how Hollywood is entrenched in Hollywood. Focus Texts: Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs – Walt Disney The Gold Diggers Sequence – Busby Berkeley Otherwise. I’m great. I’m really great. Happiest I’ve been in years. I honestly never thought I would be happy again, but I am And I’m proud of that. I’ve made myself more ‘me’, more myself. Something I was missing. I wasn’t really me for years. I was always ‘someone’s boyfriend’ or ‘someone’s friend’. Now I’m ‘Oh, that’s John he’s like x, y and z!’. I feel like a real person, rather than someone trying to just fit in with everyone else. I love the person I’ve become. And its all thanks to that one special someone for making me realise that I’m good. That I’m not a bad person, that I shouldn’t be discrimated against. He loves me for me. And me only. Not a picture. Not a dream. Just myself. You’ve helped me with ‘Me’ no end babe. I’ll never be able to repay that. Thanks for reading guys! Oh wait! I’m off to camp! I’m working at the oldest boys camp in the world teaching art, design and drama craft Should be tonnes of fun! Then I get him afterwards so double bonus! Bye!!!
  15. Freddy darling we spoke earlier and we will speak again. if you ever need me then call me at a reasonable hour okay? xxx (reasonable hour being before 2 and after 10 )
  16. Happy Birthday look forward to another year of feeling older and grumpier
  17. From an editors point of view this is an excellent article I tend to edit as you have described - but if I do have any story improvement ideas I put them in the comments section at the end of the chapter. I tend to send back a commentary essay - which is why I am such a slow editor lol I have a rule with my edits, you can take as many of my suggestions as you want - i'll insist on them but at the end of the day its your story to tell how you want it to sound.
  18. I remember Knightmare I loved that show
  19. I would suggest "Marcus and The Slave" by Kiltie69 It is pretty well written with a good storyline *helps that i'm the editor* lol
  20. Glad you enjoyed it I'm very much postmodernist with my writing lol
  21. Yep it is written to be read outloud by someone who has lost hope in everything - so its really an expressionist piece about the nature of humanity University has made me philsophical lol
  22. I like pushing boundaries with my poetry hehe
  23. WOW Good or wow bad? XD I hope you liked it
