Entry for 14th December, 2007

My script submission for River City has been rejected. I have to say I slightly disappointed, because I thought the material was not too bad. However, the reader felt that it wasn't visual enough for tv, which I think is actually fair enough, and given it's the first time I've had a go at a TV script, I don't feel too bad about it. I'm inclined to have another go at it in six months time or so, and if that's rejected too then I will console myself with the thought that I am destined for better things, than Soap Opera. It is only a matter of time before the talent scouts at the Sunday Times spot this blog, and offer me the elusive and lucrative column that we all know I so richly deserve.
It is clearly a day for literate matters, because I will finish the proof read of the law book tonight. I think it will be hitting the shelves of a good bookstore near you during February, so if any of you are in need of a practical Valentine's gift, then what better way to say "I love you" than by presenting your spouse (or civil partner) with a copy of "Financial Provision on Divorce and Dissolution of Civil Partnerships". I will be happy to do you a signed copy, and give you a business card for our family law department, just in case the course of true love does not run smoothly.
