On St. Patrick’s Day, this Wednesday past – I ventured to Oran Mor for the first time in months. How could I miss an opportunity to see another Gregory Burke play? Wonderful writer.
The play has come to an end in it’s Glasgow run, but if you have the means – check it out in Edinburgh [...]

Question.
Society has surpassed all romanticism. We’ve moved from being a race full of flowing, splendorous poetics to one devoid of exactly that.
‘Wht u upto tnite?’.
Language has been basterdised by shorthand. Now, don’t get me wrong – shorthand writing has been around for hundreds of years & existed in even Shakespeare’s era – but with the [...]

Moving West
I’m waiting on a subway train. No longer am I the victim of unreliable bus drivers. Such a relief.
So, I’ve moved to Glasgow’s West End. I have to say, I feel a little more at home here. In close convenience to Oran Mor, where theatre is often accompanied by pies & ales. Tchai Ovna, [...]

Sobriety

You Can’t Always Get What You Want.
Words delivered by the great philosopher Jagger.
The Stones had it nailed. If you try, you get what you need. Trying is key. If you don’t try, you won’t get anywhere. It’s silly to lay dormant; to not grasp at every opportunity given to you. We have one go at this big stage show – better [...]

Shelving Old Plays
One thing a writer should never do – is look back. In the past three months, I’ve found myself looking over old work. Work that has been finished; plays that have been written. This is very unproductive.
Unproductive for many reasons. The most important being that you’ll dig yourself into a trench of inactvity. As [...]

Subservations
Sitting on the subway always sparks up ideas. Bizarre. I imagine it’s partly to do with the storylines I’m mulling over for my short film (one based on the Glaswegian underground); but there’s something more to it. Definitely.
I liken it much to my experience in the shower. Experiences, rather. And before you get any ideas; [...]

New Scribblings.
Well, I’ve finally pulled my index from my rectum and made a little headway with my writing.
After work this evening, I switched off my telephone, locked myself in my office and scribbled up some ideas. I’ve mostly reworked Conversations with Steve, a piece I’ve been working on since November. I’m a little more loosened where it’s [...]

Funnies.
Okay – Having done some admin on this old mule; I’ve found a little ounce of hilarity.
I’ve just spotted my search engine terms ie. every search engine term that’s ever shown up my blog for key words etc.
They are as follows (most are laughable):
