So I've finally got the film from the 48 Hour Film Project up onto youtube, check it out in the embed, or go watch it on youtube (where you can enjoy it in HD goodness) ...

Last week, the results of the writers weekly spring competition was announced. Sadly, I failed to place, but I don't feel to sore about it. The winners were very deserving, and it's clear I didn't do enough to make my story stand out from the other entries.

But yesterday, I put up the story online, and you can read it here:

Dirty Secret

5 weeks ago, I wrote about the 24 Hour short story competition I entered, and linked to the story I had written. Rapidly advised that this could disqualify me, I withdrew it ...

... well, the results are now in and sadly I didn't place. I figure it's okay to publish my entry now:

'The Sins of the Father'

A few weeks back I received an email from the lovely lara suggesting that I enter a 24 hour writing competition. A quarterly competition run by writer's weekly it sounded like a fun way of getting the juices going, so I signed up. As followers of my twitter account will know, the competition was this weekend, and I thought it might be interesting to reflect on it whilst it was still fresh in my head.
