I have been reading a book for some time now called "How to be a Playwright". It is by someone called Tim Fountain who is a very entertaining and engaging writer. I am obviously fairly interested in the genre that the book covers but it is entertaining in so many other ways as well. I realised whilst picking it up again, that I actually bought it over a year ago. I remember taking it to the Lakes last year, and then not picking it up again after getting my first play published. That, in hindsight seems somewhat arrogant I suppose, but it was more down to the fact that I preferred to simply get on with the writing rather than reading about it. I have an impatient nature at the best of times, so it is little wonder that it remains half read. As I was tidying the office today, I cam across it again, and decided to make an effort to finish it, and I wish that I had done this last year. It has so many little pearls of wisdom, and I am now looking forward to the next few weeks to really put it to good use. I am also, whilst I mention it, very much looking forward to seeing our friends in the Lakes again....it seems such a long time since we have seen each other and spoken.
