Vince Gilligan is a true master of story

Vince Gilligan being interviewed about his Emmy Award winning show Breaking Bad

The creator, writer and director of hit TV show Breaking Bad is a master of story! For anyone wanting to write anything (plays, scripts or like me novels) watching Gilligan's work will teach you suburb character development and suspense building. If you haven't already, I can't stress enough - Watch it!

Czech RAF pilot - Battle of Britain

While writing a short story which features a Spitfire from the Battle of Britain I found this image. I was moved by the courage this Czech man must have had to fight.

Brilliant Short Story Writer John Collier

John Collier 1901-1980

 

Just read a short story from his collection Fancies and Goodnights (1951) and it was brilliant. He is most definitely a master of structure!

Love Psy's Enthusiasm in Gangnam Style!

With over 150 million views and getting more hits by the second, this video clip Gangnam Style will first make you gawk, then laugh, and finally buy into the moves, the energy and the tune (which will get stuck in your head.)

With such monumental belief in himself, a recording contract with Island Records, and an all expenses paid American tour planned, how can it get any better for Psy? Recognition in Korea where his clip has been banned for its risque content? Maybe not.

But his success certainly backs up the adage 'Enthusiasm is contagious!' We all want to feel enthused so next time you're selling your brand, I wouldn't bust out Psy's dance moves, but why not try to imitate his enthusiasm?!

A Great Literary Talent

John Steinbeck

I've just read my first Steinbeck, Cannery Row, and loved it. Tomorrow I'll be paying a visit to my local library to sift through the shelves for Grapes of Wrath and Of Mice and Men.

Just watching this trailer made me smile...

Really looking forward to catching Delicacy on DVD. The book, of the same title, was beautifully written and from the trailer this promises to be a superb adaptation!
