Imagine, if you will, an infinite corkboard, that stretches away forever (into virtual space, anyway) and allows you to post notes, ideas, images, videos, and other cool content on there. That’s Spaaze, and it’s one of my favourite web sites. I discovered it a few months ago and since then the developers have been working …

Totally Frickin Amazing
It was appraisal time at work recently, and whilst having my review it was quite rightly pointed out to me that I tend to hold back on launching a project if I don’t think it’s perfect which often times it can never be. Both at home and at work I’ve left too many projects/screenplays/web sites half …

Celtx
I’ve been playing a bit recently with Celtx, and finding myself pleasantly surprised by it. I tried it a few years ago and found it a little clumsy compared to Movie Magic Screenwriter and Final Draft and promptly forgot about it. With Script Frenzy coming round a couple of months ago and not having Final …

What Ho!
Yes, it’s umm, 2011 , and has been for ages. Well, well, well. Just been doing some major updating of the Scribomatic web site which I thought I’d shout about. It’s basically the same old site, now all nicely WordPressed up and, hopefully, more useable. Apart from that, it’s the same old stuff, different year, …

Huh, Geek!
It’s been quiet round here of late, but doesn’t mean there’s been no activity chez Cogs. Oh no Siree! The latest draft of Return to Earth is almost in the bag (I know I keep saying it, but I’ve struggled with the third act – a moment of clarity last week has unclogged the old …

Off again…
Good luck to everyone doing Script Frenzy this year! If you haven’t quite sorted yourself out yet, get on over to their web site and get registered now… I wasn’t sure what I should do for it, but thankfully the amazing Lucy Hay produced for me an incredible development report for Return to Earth, so …

Darwin and Dadd
Image via Wikipedia These past few weeks have mainly seen me flitting between three writing projects. The first, Return to Earth draft 2 – still not quite complete (six pages to go!); the second, developing an idea for a TV series based on the bits I’ve cut out of the first draft of Return to …

Soth vs. Snyder!
Return to Earth, which I’d put on the back burner for NaNoWriMo is now back in the forefront of my mind, especially after the interesting news I got from Ben the other day. While I was working through all my notes for the second draft, I came to the realisation that even with one and …
