I have been humbled into working much, much harder. If you didn't watch Sherlock last night (iPlayer link here) - then you missed what is possibly the best piece of television written in the last 20 years. Yeah, even better than any of the Doctor Who episodes since relaunch too. That was one seriously well thought out, fun hour and a half. I won't drag it out. In fact I won't say another word but if you have any interest in Sherlock Holmes or writing for TV - or even if you're just a waste of space on the planet looking for something to do - spend the time. Which is all very nice as my Sherlock story, The Dead Messenger is gathering momentum for its launch in five days.

Charlotte and I (how's that for good English) have also finished up our latest graphic short. I'll be loading that up to the digital store in a couple of days or so once I've put the finishing touches to the production end of things. It's very different to The Fire Sermon but whether we've made a good old Celtic story better than it was before, only time will tell.

Meanwhile, back in the jungle, Dennis has been out with his camera taking pictures in Wolverhampton for Broken. I'm officially done with the script for this first issue and have moved on to the second issue. (Dennis, if you're reading, this will be the first you've heard of it but I'll have it over to you this evening).

That's almost too much positivity to handle, but on yet another positive note, I've posted more than Neil Gaiman this month. I rock.

Things accomplished in fiction: more than in recent weeks shall we say.

Things accomplished in real life: Ah - now that would be telling a little too much at this point in time but there is a smile on my face.

Other: Found a brand spanking new box set of all five Planet of the Apes movies today for £1! Good work Mr Smith. Have been told I can watch them by myself, very late at night.
