Guest Blog: Day Last

And so I come to the end of my guest blogging fortnight. It’s been very cool and I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Maybe if I’m good I’ll be able to come back and pester you all again. Sorry I haven’t blogged as much this week, it’s been kinda busy and there’s always a [...]

Guest blog: Ay up me Duck of the Dead

It all started as a conversation in a pub beer garden with a group of game developers debating zombie films. The discussion quickly moved on to how a game is actually developed and the possible similarities between the two. So, we decided to pool our skills, write a script and produce a short zombie film. We [...]

Guest Blog: Time isn’t just for time travellers

Walking to work this morning, wondering what to write for my first blog post, it suddenly dawned on me that finding the time to blog, produce a feature length film and still hold down my full time job, was an interesting conundrum in itself.

The answer though was quite simple – delegation.

I’ve found that surrounding myself [...]

A summer Scribal cocktail

Writers. They shout, they declaim, they exclaim.  But mostly in the peace and quiet of the written word. Tomorrow however, you can hear writers and poets express themselves in the flesh (not as rude as it sounds).  If you like words or you just like watching other people throw them about with abandon, put down your quill and take a look at this.

Guest Blog: 07.48

Hello to you. I was planning to get something written yesterday, but I’m afraid the whole day ended up being a chain of train journeys dashing around to and from and across London.

Guest blog: 19.28

Nottingham is wet, but that’s not why I’m leaving. I was just reading the brief for the guest blogging spot for creativenottingham.com, which explicitly advises you to keep it Nottingham-focussed, before jumping on a train out of creative Nottingham, which is possibly not the best start. But y’know, please understand I’m going away for a [...]

Guest blog: When in doubt, get out

Inspiration is a fleeting thing, some people have it in on tap and others struggle. Either way we all need to experience varied environments to feel inspired. Sitting staring at a screen in your workplace probably isn’t the best place to do this. Yes you could walk around Brooklyn on Google street view, or take [...]

Guest blog: Look up

It’s all too easy nowaday to just powerwalk round town from one poundshop to the next without taking a breath. Next time you’re about just slow your pace and look up. Yes there are some ungodly sights when it comes to architecture and we barely have a Gaudi in the midst BUT we do have the [...]
