My children have a similar philosophy towards my writing career. But I am still launching an assault on the writing establishment and no evil satirical websites, pox-ridden infants, lumbering pregnant hulk or numerous restraining orders are going to stop me. Bwahahahaahahahahahaha! </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1628#post-4591 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 12:06:39 +0000 Zadok the second 4591@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>You would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for a clear case of talkative-Ed syndrome. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1628#post-4584 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 10:52:32 +0000 editor 4584@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>No don't try and compete with the established professionals. The whole point of setting up NewsBiscuit was to keep potential writers busy elsewhere. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1628#post-4579 Mon, 29 Mar 2010 09:53:28 +0000 Mary Evans 4579@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>"You don't have to be a sexual deviant to write here, but it helps"....???<br /> No? Just a thought.<br /> Interesting links, chaps, muchly ta. Hope all writing endeavours going well all round - one project finished here, but the second rather hampered by chicken pox pandemic spreading around my brood. But am sat with spotty son watching Star Wars of a Monday morning, so can't be all bad. Even if I don't understand a bloody word of it. Thank goodness for the services of my 10-year-old stepson who has grasped the names, plotlines and family history of every single extra in the franchise.<br /> As for the writing malarky, working on a stellar script to secure the services of an agent is rather helpful as they can open so many more doors than one can open alone. I've found the BBC Writers Room very useful too - there is such an abundance of comedy talent on this site, I'm sure a huge commission awaits those bold enough to have a bash... </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=1628#post-4521 Sun, 28 Mar 2010 18:02:28 +0000 Ludicity 4521@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>There is also the sitcom trials. &gt; <a href="http://www.jamesparkerwriting.com/sitcomtrials/?fn_mode=fullnews&amp;fn_id=21" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamesparkerwriting.com/sitcomtrials/?fn_mode=fullnews&amp;fn_id=21</a></p> <p>I've got this great idea for a sitcom about bunch of people writing for a spoof news website.
