Hi there. Newbie on board!
Hi there!
Just thought I'd introduce myself. Drafting an ebook right now, adapting this into a film script too. In need of support from other creatives, so I've come onboard to 'Talkback'.
Hope to be able to join in discussions on here and get to know a few of the characters here, too. Should be fun...!

What genre do you work in most? (please say horror, please say horror)
Lots of gritty reality here... what we eat, the weather, what we were doing 'just then' (not writing!).
Do you have any connection to Lydia the Tattooed Lady ?
I have to check, because we get a lot of strange people in here...
Trying to stand out as an individual with my own unique selling point on life. Difficult to do, in the chock-a-block territory of this modern day world..
My memory serves me ill, of late
They would certainly have livened up the plot, but I think things have got a bit more sophisticated than that, in today's films! Nice ideas, though.
I know my lack of sophistication impacts on my writing, it gives me sleepless nights.
I have had intensive counselling, both financially and mentally debilitating, but to little avail.
'Lydia oh Lydia, the encyclo-pidia,
It's Lydia the ta-attooed lady.'
Welcome, Lydia the untattooed lady!
As you will have gathered, this is a place where all are welcome, even those who, perhaps, shouldn't be let out on their own after dark. Or before dark, come to that.
Unlike the 60s, if you can remember the 70s you were there.
Hi de hi Lydia.
I included a youtube clip there for dora of Groucho singing the song, but it won't post. You'll have to google it.
That must have been what drew me to her acting, back then. Absolutely hypnotised by her, in that play.
Bit hesitant to rewatch it now, in case it debunks a lot of the myths I had back then about that tale.. That's writing, indeed. Love. Writ large. On a scale of West Side Story proportions...
