- The Library Book - I've begun another rewrite on chapter 1 - I need to increase pace, focus the viewpoint and develop suspense through better choosing my descriptions
- Dark Machine - My screenplay now needs writing
- Monologues - it looks to me as though I'm not going to get these done. I need to rewrite Winter Kills and It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time (entries to the previous two Litopia compos) into monologue format, and write a new one as my third element - the theme of the Arts festival being Identity... hmmm
- Litopia's 4th competition is up and the clock is ticking - The Reckoning - based upon previous winners I need to pay attention to the zeitgeist. The last winner was a comedy (It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time being in its very nature a comedic suggestion). My previous effort tried to subvert that. The Reckoning, is clearly horror based, and though people say you should avoid horror because it always ends up being a chase and evasion with possibly murder of some grotesque nature at the end, I have to push myself to try.
- The first Litopia podcast went live, and is really amazing. I WANT to be able to do something for the next one... or at least for a future one... but what?
- Author Salley Vickers will be attending Sandhurst Library in a couple of weeks - I wonder if, as well as doing my usual write up, I might be able to interview her? Possibly for a segment on Litopia's podcast? Would my dictaphone be of good enough quality?
