Plays
One advantage of writing plays is that you don't have to do all that difficult descriptive stuff.
And if you're really lucky, the characters will simply take over and start generating the dialogue for you.
However, I feel that a script is only worthwhile if it is intended to be put into production.
Novels, short stories and poetry are a product in their own right, even if you never find a wide audience for them.
But a script is a merely means to an end. Nobody sits down and reads a script sheerly for the pleasure of doing so.
Nonetheless, here I offer you the opportunity of doing precisely that.
Deep Matter
In 2013, the BBC invited new writers to submit scripts for a half-hour comedy play for radio, and so I thought I'd have a crack at this. They wanted a complete first episode along with ideas for further episodes to make up a series. Needless to say, my offering was not taken up. They thanked me politely and said that they'd had over two thousand applicants to choose from. You've really got to feel for them though - some poor buggers at the Beeb have had to pore over two thousand scripts by unprofessional writers who fancied 'having a go'. I don't know how much scope there is for producing audio plays outside radio broadcasting, but if there are any actors and producers and technical bods out there that are interested in doing so privately, or as a project, then I would be interested in collaborating with you and writing further scripts. Below is the play I sent to the BBC, a shameless Star Trek parody which I am happy to expand further, or if you have any other ideas for plots that would suit my writing style, then please feel free to contact me.
Episode 1: Communication Meltdown
Yonder Peasant
Here is the opening scene of a rollicking pantomime about the Yonder Peasant featured in the Christmas carol Good King Wenceslas. One day I might finish it.
