It being OCR* week, this is a very good and timely article by my friend Paul on how to deal with rejection as a screenwriter. His point that there should be more bald Welsh writers in the industry also hits the mark...

BBC Writers asked me to write a blog about rejection, as yesterday they began the task of letting down the 5,000+ writers who applied to the Open Call, and had a fair amount of abuse about it.

Completely agree. He was a poet. I never thought Bill McLaren would be matched, but Eddie managed it. Not sure we’ll see that quality again. 😞

I agree we’ll be back one day, but we’ve never actually been this low. This is, by a country mile, worse than anything in the 1990’s.

The cognitive dissonance of saying the Welsh boys left it all out there and played commendably in a 68-14 home defeat.
But they really did.

Great first page, lots of energy and comedic tone set. Deffo makes you want more. Is it a completed feature? Pilot?

The title and trailer didn’t fill me with hope, but ep.1 of #PrimeTarget has been a huge surprise. Superb television on all levels!

This is a genuine tweet from yesterday morning US time, about how Trump will blame DEI when crashes start happening.

A day of two managers. Potter (who I like, btw) has 'pragmatism and a commitment to flexibility' whereas David Moyes 'is a risk, as he doesn't have a defined approach' .
Then, the gloriously reductive... 'David Moyes' claim to fame is that he managed Paul Gascoigne 22 years ago'.
Take a bow, son!
