Quo Vadimus in OD

So, I didn’t get through the BBC thing. Got the email today.

No feedback, as expected. Just that they had read the first 10 pages of my script and that was that.

It would also appear that I haven’t been selected in the Writers Block North-East Transporter Bridge thing I also entered. Not that they bothered to let me know that.

That one was a surprise because they emailed to ask if they could publish my story on Facebook to inspire others, though they never did.

What now? See the entry title.

I’m still entering the Channel 4 screenwriters thing. I’ve decided to enter the script I submitted for the BBC thing. I did start writing a new script for it, but the BBC one is the strongest. I’m going to take a couple more passes at it, see if I can strengthen it up. I have till the end of the month, plenty of time.

And I’ll keep my eye out for other competitons I can enter. Thankfully, I’m back in my creative writing class, so I am actually writing at the moment.

Other stuff. Remember the situation I mentioned here? (I posted pictures of the park in question here)

Well, they’ve had the design competition and the finalists can be seen here. My opinion? They are all monstrosities and would make me embarrassed to admit I come from a city with them in place.

I’m not just saying this because I love Union Terrace Gardens and think they shouldn’t be doing this at all. Number 2 is the most tolerable, because they basically keep the gardens as they are. Except for the bizarre Tellytubbies thing over the rail line.

(Actually, kudos has to go to that team for actually showing what their design will look like when it’s snowing.)

Course, as it turns out, the final decision might rest with the Court of Sessions.

I know I still owe you a picture entry from the question time thing a while back. Still got to get one picture for it.

Some fun stuff to finish off with.

Three Sonic, one Laser. Three battery operated (though I need new batteries for them).

Bow ties are cool!

(Everything in the above two pictures belong to me. Not that I’m a geek or anything…)
