The last year has been, in the words of one of my dear friend, a bitch, which rather clouds things when I look back over how much I've achieved. At the end of the year, I generally like to write some goals for the next year. I think resolutions are fine, but generally, most people… Continue reading Failing to Plan is Planning to Fail: writing goals, making resolutions and reviewing life.

What’s The Logline?
I thought I'd write a little bit about something that is so tiny, but can make or break your script pitch. And something that I actually struggle with.
