A Guest Writer – Mike Jenkins

March 21, 2013March 21, 2013 Kate4 Comments

This Wednesday the 20th March  a guest author came for what I thought would be a reading... Except he ran a workshop. Before I get into that though I need to tell you who Mike Jenkins (www.mikejenkins.net) is.  He is a poet and author. He has performed at the Hay Festival and the Aldeburgh Poetry… Continue reading A Guest Writer – Mike Jenkins

A Guest Writer – Rati Saxena

March 21, 2013March 21, 2013 KateLeave a comment

So this Tuesday gone - the 19th March - I wandered up to the Carmarthen campus to listen to Rati Saxena ( http://www.boloji.com/writers/ratisaxena.htm) . I wasn't sure how this would work as she is a Hindi poet. But I also found out that she is also a translator, scholar and runs kritya (www.kritya.in). She has… Continue reading A Guest Writer – Rati Saxena

Screenwriting 4

March 20, 2013March 20, 2013 Kate4 Comments

Well, it turns out that screenwriting is far harder than I would have thought. It's not what you put in but rather what you leave out. I've written a scene where a woman is abused by her husband (nasty I know but he does die in scene four). Anyway, she is being beaten... Do I… Continue reading Screenwriting 4

Sleep deprivation

March 17, 2013 KateLeave a comment

This is short story that I wrote for the course. Enjoy.... Sleep Deprivation He looked at Sylvia’s face. Her snoring had woken him again. It was arrogant kind of snoring.

Screenwriting 3

March 10, 2013 KateLeave a comment

I've changed my idea, the other one just wasn't working. It was a decent enough story, a child's fantasy, but it just didn't have 'legs'. There was very little way of putting in a subplot and exploring the intricacies of screenwriting. So out went the child's film and in comes the adult drama. I'm actually… Continue reading Screenwriting 3

Saffron

March 7, 2013 Kate3 Comments

This is my version of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' as worked from the breakdown I posted the other day. Saffron She runs, hardly able to see. The darkness around her is oppressive and bears down on her like a presence, always watching. She stumbles and falls to her knees, smelling the damp decay of… Continue reading Saffron

White Rabbits!

March 3, 2013 Kate1 Comment

Okay so it's a little late... On the first of the month the first thing we say in our house is - "White Rabbits" Course this is probably a corruption of another tradition, but in our family it is our own tradition. I've been working on fairy tales and have mind-mapped Goldilocks and the Three… Continue reading White Rabbits!
