The things I do...
I've been writing on and off since I left school, but only in the past few years has it morphed into something I do for a living as opposed to something I do to fill this great vacuum we call life. Stuff of mine has surfaced in the likes of Metro, Total Film, Empire, BBC Movies, Attitude, and a couple of film mags in Australia, plus magazines no one ever bought (which is why they folded) like Nova and Mondo. I've even managed to sneak a couple of strips into 2000AD.
I was also one of the editors on the dear, departed Get Writing and, like most of the Western world, I'm currently slogging my way through my own novel. Whether it will ever see the light of day is in the hands of the gods.
Most distracting is my full time job these guys where I do subversive web stuff.
Unfortunately, the Get Writing community is now closed. Thanks to everyone who made it the smashing success that it was, and good luck in all your future endeavours.
Many members of the community have created their own websites so you can still find them beavering away in one corner of the web or another. We've made a list of the sites we know about so find out where they've gone.
You could also consider setting up your own online writers' community but this is not for the faint-hearted - it will take up an enormous amount of your time and wil be more work than you can possibly imagine. I know, and I did it for a living! If you are keen, however, we've put together some helpful advice and links on setting up your own online community which should help you get started.
All our fantastic articles and features, with advice on improving your writing skills from the people in the know, are still available so browse around the site and you're bound to find something to suit your style.
Other than that, it's adieu to you and you and you.

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a wholly remarkable book. It has been compiled and recompiled many times and under many different editorships. It contains contributions from countless numbers of travellers and researchers."
