Just in case you are wondering where we are with the systematic work through the book ‘Creative Scriptwriter’ (exercises to expand your craft) - which is providing a sub-text in this, the November series in which the post titles are longer than the post content (just to make the blog visually look a bit different than normal) – the answer is “page 12” (not exactly racing ahead then) and the exercise in which you have to write a quick story where the first word begins with ‘a’ and the second ‘b’ etc, etc until you reach ‘z’.




Anthony Billings – curator /dishwasher extraordinaire - for Goth Henderson’s Industrial Junk Kitchen, Lancaster’s main nutritional operation, prepared quince relish sauce (tinned) under vegetables with x-tra yummy zabaglione.

The next was to get Loui to give me three things he wanted in a story and to tell it there and then.
I cheated a little and wrote it 'there and then' then read it to him.
He gave me inhaler, mountain and bush.

Well done.

Thank you, Chris!! It took me less than 10 minutes to think of something almost logical...

I liked your effort very much and I have to admit, I copied your x-cellent example of how to use the "x".

X is problematic.
I tried again after my first attempt and got nowhere.
K isn't easy either!
I wondered about starting at z and going backward but...
