So far this year I’ve been doing most of my writing offline. Things have moved forward considerably with the TV show(s), but nearly all the cool stuff I can’t talk about just yet. I’m about to go into another research phase so it seemed a good idea to kick some life back into the site.

However, the gremlins that knocked me offline last year have had a few repercussions – namely that I got unindexed by Google. No big deal really as I haven’t been using the blog half as much anyway. But after talking to Nik (who now looks after the guts of the blog and a few others I have floating around) we decided it was a good opportunity to pull everything down and restructure.

This is an old blog. When I first started I had no idea what I was doing and once you look under the hood it’s in quite a state. So we’re gonna fix up the internal organs and then relaunch the thing properly. Not sure how much of the old stuff I’ll reconnect – that may just become a hobby for rainy afternoons, rifling through the last seven years of posts and revisiting the better ones – we’ll see.

In the meantime I’ll start the research dump here and then we’ll see what the new site looks like once Nik and I have the time to dismantle the thing properly.

So yeah, watch this space, but keep a closer eye on Twitter for the time being.

PS My first trip to L.A. as a TV writer went way better than I expected…
