Phil Hunter: Back to blog
http://philiphunter.blogspot.com/2011/09/back-to-blog.html
An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Monday, 26 September 2011. Not blogged in ages. I'm going to try and get back to it more frequently. Try and help me form a writing routine. On the writing front I'm trying to get back on my MA course. i couldn't afford the tuition so had to drop out. the course has a rolling intake of once every 2 years so this year I can start the second year again. They're on www.crookedfiction.tumblr.com. View my complete profile.

An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Tuesday, 13 October 2009. Page 13, I'm losing the will to live. I got my treatment back. The news is not good. I received a lowly 54. Far less than I expected. Far less than I thought I would ever get. I feel totally destroyed by this. I apparently have a good grasp of 80s cliches and knowledge of John Hughes films. I mean, is that good? My work was cliched and plagiarised by the late JH. So maybe he's right. I was w...

Phil Hunter: May 2009
http://philiphunter.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Sunday, 31 May 2009. I haven't done any writing this week. I am a terrible person. I've been thinking a lot about it though. is that any better? I was thinking about turning points. I always struggled with them because I always thought that your protagonist had to make a decision to go on their adventure at TP. 1 Now, when I watch movies it often seems more like the turning point just happens to them. In THE DESCENT TP.

An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Sunday, 27 September 2009. This was new to me. A weird little point in the script that refocused it. Now I thought that screenplays were supposed to be tight and focused but then I started to read about this new point in the structure which refocuses it. I either missed it when I did my first screenwriting course or it was never mentioned. I think I just figured out what it means. Something to to "speed up" the 2 nd.

Phil Hunter: July 2009
http://philiphunter.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Monday, 27 July 2009. I ain't got time to bleed. or to write it seems. I've suffered from a severe lack of motivation lately. I've not had any inclination to do any writing for a while. I blamed being frustrated by struggling to choose a script idea for my. When an accident causes an alien spaceship to crash land. Releasing a nasty parasite which attaches itself to the hapless populace (what the hall are haps. The theme ...

Phil Hunter: April 2009
http://philiphunter.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Wednesday, 29 April 2009. Things I'd rather do than write. It seems I would rather watch a load of crappy films as "research" than write. I mean how am I supposed to write a moody atmospheric n eo. If I haven't yet seen the (allegedly - I hear) craptacular. Be the moment someone walks past and then everyone thinks I'm looking at porn. I didn't eat them though. The computer writing. It's a conundrum. Another thing I'd rat...

Phil Hunter: BBC rejection
http://philiphunter.blogspot.com/2011/09/bbc-rejection.html
An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Friday, 30 September 2011. I got a big envelope back which had everything I sent off in it. Turns out I hadn't put enough postage on. So that was a wasted 6 weeks. Going to send it again tomorrow. Tried to get back into university but they weren't having it. There's nothing to be done for me funding wise and I'm on the bones of my arse as it is. Been talking to my promoter friend about doing some new nights but t...I kno...

An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Monday, 19 October 2009. Like banging your head against the keyboard. I've been feeling like if I had been doing just that I may have written something better. After the horror of getting such a low mark for something I had poured everything I could into. I've been trying to write something else. Something that will get me an acceptable mark in the future. At an agent we have coming in a few weeks. Slither. Finally m...

Phil Hunter: August 2009
http://philiphunter.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
An aspiring writer working (if you can call it that) as a DJ and barely scraping by. Monday, 31 August 2009. I now find myself 10 shoddy pages into a 30 page treatment. What a miraculous turnaround. To be fair, most of it was already written. Much of what I'm doing is expanding on what was already. Written in shorthand. Trying to make it sound less like rough notes on a story and a little more treatment-y. I discovered last night that Prom night isn't the last time that American kids see each other.
