In this week’s story, it’s another all-dialogue effort, only days after I wrote a blog post about how much I love dialogue. Wow, it’s almost like I actually plan this stuff.
Also inspired by my friend Alastair using contactless card payments at the branch of Pret where I was trying to think of a story. I’m simple and easily influenced sometimes.
Anyway, let’s go!
Second weekly (hopefully) News Surfing round-up on The Digital Fix, including two appalling photos, a lot of Armando Iannucci and... who is the document wallet douchebag?
I have a go at The Fire Rises, a new Dark Knight Rises tie-in online game for Dork Adore. Join Team Bane! Be a street criminal! Fumble in the dark!
Dialogue – The Writer’s Crack?
Close followers of my work here, specifically the Friday stories, might note I’ve done a few in an all-dialogue format. Like this one quite recently. Or this one, also one of my only “science-fiction” stories. Or kinda this one too. And the new one I’ve just written for Friday. So clearly I’m a big fan.
It’s just easy to write, isn’t it? Flows off the tongue like, well, speech. Maybe it’s the hours I spent reading those Aaron Sorkin script books, but I kinda love it. Unfortunately, I also worry I enjoy it too much sometimes. (Hence the title – apologies if anyone was expect an ode to the creative arse.)
Review of Armando Iannucci's Veep on The Digital Fix. Starts tonight on Sky Atlantic, it's actually pretty fun.
Friday short story time: "Scarlet Letters"
Hello!
Tiring schedule at the moment, but the MA portfolio is slowly getting cranked out, as is a bunch of internet material. Most recently, I did a slightly mocking TV news summary for The Digital Fix, which I think came out okay and may even do again in the future if I have time.
Oh, and on Tuesday on this very website, I reviewed the sci-fi novel Genus. And I’m about to post a short story I wrote about not-really-politics. Now, if someone could just edit my novel for me…?
