The Social Network

I’ve recently been introduced to the world of Circalit, and I have quickly let my pals at TFP know all about it too. Now it is my turn to tell you readers about it. For those of you are like minded creators, whether it be writing film or writing novels […]

May the 4th…

…be with you. That has nothing to do with the rest of this article. I only have one time a year to squeeze it in. Anyway, so this article marks a very special anniversary. It has been a whole year since I finished my degree, and while I have enjoyed […]

Big Bad Woolf

This week I thought I’d try something different (again). I’ve wanted to try my hand at literature, and although I have ideas, I would feel far too vulnerable posting those on here. However, when I was at university, I wrote several scripts, one for my dissertation. Since I’m always talking […]

On Wonder…

I’ve been reading a lot lately, a lot of them have been titles that were recommended to me. This time around, I have one to recommend to you. After reading The Fault in Our Stars (BUY IT NOW), I wanted some lighter reading. But since then, I haven’t been able […]

On Skins…

I was sad to hear today on the news that E4 drama Skins will be axed after series 7 next year – a 6 episode special featuring old and new cast members. I still get shivers when I think of Tony at the end of Series 1, and the feeling […]

On the man, Louis Theroux

I love documentaries. I simply enjoy that fact that in a 60 minute film, you can gain so much knowledge in something that you maybe would have ever chosen to look into. For me, documentaries lead ultimately to one man… Louis Theroux. He really is a legend. I have watched, […]

On procrastination…

Firstly, apologies that I wasn’t around last week. I was having a lovely break in Dublin with some friends which by the way was amazing. If you haven’t been to Dublin, GO! Anyway this week I am focusing on my enemy – procrastination. How can we stop ourselves from procrastinating? […]
