A Happy Bunny



I went shopping yesterday and got my Dr Who magazine, even though Tesco's were trying to hide them within all the lads mags. The smiley cake is a present from my husband, although I have to admit I wouldn't let him read the magazine until I had devoured the Steven Moffat article on how to write a Dr Who Script (I know I'm mean!)
The article on Steven is massively long and is something that I will keep going back to you, but a couple of things I picked out at first glance where that sometimes Steven has three scripts on the go all at once, which makes me feel a lot better, as I currently have two other projects bouncing around in my head, besides my novel. It also takes him an age to work out a title for his script (for Forest of the Dead it took 14 attempts until they settled on a title!) - I also have a problem in working out titles! The most crucial element though is that Steven feels the Doctor Who stories work well if there is a good mystery behind them. I already know the basis around my script, which hopefully will intrigue - just don't know the ending as yet - unfortunately Steven doesn't advise how to write those!
