MY WEEK
This week saw me writing issue 12 of Shadow Service as well as starting a new short story for an anthology due to be published next year. I also had a very exciting meeting when I was asked to pitch ideas for a new TV show that will air in a couple of years time, so will be turning my attention to that over the next month.
Thursday saw me heading into town to meet up with writers Gareth L. Powell and J. Dianne Dotson.
Dianne was over from the States visiting her fiancé Gareth and I took the chance to take them to the Stables on Bristol docks, one of my favourite pizza places, as an overdue engagement present.
There was an unfortunately a sad note to the end of week however, as the Scott family lost our little furry friend, Popcorn the guinea pig. We’re going to miss that little fuzzball. RIP Pops!
