Let us know how you get on. Especially with getting Norton on board. <br /><br />Dan - even though I haven't seen Predator, your description of your antics with Predavel are so intense and high octane I feel like I have. How far off Mud Stage are you? Should we alert anyone? <br /><br />The Nick (me) and Natasha (the book) saga in Corrie has taken an interesting turn with Natasha (the book) pretending to be pregnant to keep Nick (me) interested. Entrapment, that is.Teresa Stensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17027879292470220383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-73569408807766678532010-08-21T15:02:40.060+01:002010-08-21T15:02:40.060+01:00My novel is the Predator.

The Predator/novel (Predavel?) keeps hiding from me, and I can't work out what shape it's supposed to be, or where it's going. Sometimes the tables are turned - the Predavel jumps out at me from unexpected places, and I can't remember which one of us is supposed to be in charge. There's a strong possibility that it will kill me. One of these days I shall smear myself in mud, and trap the Predavel under a massive tree trunk, and then, somehow, everything will turn out all right.Dan Purduehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633271913854946500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-42585843234992601452010-08-20T21:30:59.182+01:002010-08-20T21:30:59.182+01:00Currently wasting time getting to know some screen...Currently wasting time getting to know some screenwriting software and reading film scripts - and loving it! Going to waste some more time adapting my novels to screenplays. Sometimes I just read tosh on tinterweb and sometimes I just read. Sometimes I even watch a film (albeit on laptop!). I am a big fan of Edward Norton and harbour secret dreams of him wanting to produce a screenplay of mine!! Thank you for asking (not sure I was really meant to answer....)<br /><br />Obviously Corrie's the way to go with time wastage though!Rachel Fentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046917627054462214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5968546507603375440.post-24707644820720030642010-08-20T17:27:35.383+01:002010-08-20T17:27:35.383+01:00Don't have a telly?
