Born in the USA? Not ruddy likely.

Whilst catching up with the very large backlog of posts that have built up in my RSS Aggregatoraliser over the past week or so, I stumbled across Jason Arnopp’s humorous post rounding up the year in the UK Scribosphere.

I chuckled as I read it as I recalled the various posts he alludes to. But as I got to the end, my heart sank a little. There is one glaring oversight. That’s right, neither your’s truly, nor my little piece of handiwork, Scribomatic, is mentioned. At all. Not a sausage.

A very depressing thought struck home (well, two actually); despite the not insignificant take up of Scribomatic around the web, apart from one or two people (well, four, no five, now I count), no-one in the UK Scribosphere scene seems to have the faintest idea who I am or appears to have heard of Scribomatic.

Of all the, ohh, tens of blogs now using Scribomatic, only three (that I can tell) are from the UK (me, Danny and Tim. We’re hardly spreading the love here are we?

I wept for a short while until my wife slapped me, and then I set about wondering how I could at least change the second of those two depressing thoughts.

So here’s what I propose. If you know a UK based screenwriting blogger who doesn’t have the glory and wonder of the Scribomatic Widget ticking away on their blog, make it your new years resolution to camp on their doorstep and harangue them every time they step forth from the threshold until they wend their merry way to www.scribomatic.com and cut and paste that code into their blog sidebar.

Alternatively, if you, like me, are a big ‘southern softie’ you could just leave a comment or send them a polite e-mail. Either way is good. In fact the second is probably better.
