Tricks to writing a good outline
Posted by stelpavlou in writing advice on 07 18th, 2009 | No CommentsChris writes: I’ve been in touch with John Jarrold recently in his editorial capacity and he mentioned yourself as a market comparison and more specifically pointed me to your prose as a way to develop my own. I’d read Decipher a number of times over the years and found the comparison useful, it’s always in my winter reading list and am waiting patiently for Decipher 2 to hit the shelves. I guess...

Most people are probably unaware that one of the great indie production houses, Miramax, ceased to exist last week.
I’ve taken a (very) quick look back at it here.
How to report the news

Classic. I often wonder what breakfast conversations must be like between two married news anchors:

“Thanks Tim. We’re here, live at the toaster, where any minute now some sort of announcement about bread products is expected…”

Holy freakin’ crap.
Okay, I am open to gifts if anyone what’s to get me one, lol!
