How I did it: I just wrote some stuff the day before hand-in. I don' think its very good. Luckily I found a synopsis I had already done so that should be ok. I also wrote much of this after work as was thus massively tired. Will share the mark when I find out in a maximum of four weeks... Read how I did it…
How I did it: After three months of blogging on a generic site I decided I wanted things to look better, be more flexible and have a better name.I bought a hosting package that gave me a domain name from bluehost. Read how I did it…

With one week gone I am happy to report success so far. I have planned the play properly and am ready to write it this week.
Week two did not prove fruitful I did not write a single word.
I keep sleeping in until 11 or 12 and end up getting nothing done. I wake up, turn my alarm off, and go back to sleep! I’m getting 11 hours sleep a night, this is ridiculous!
I have a plan: From Monday morning I am going to award myself 1 pound every weekday I get up on time. If I get to £25 pounds I will buy myself something nice. If i fail before then, the money goes to charity and I start at day one again.
Week One: £5 for charity – Children in Need
Week Two: £5 for charity – Children in Need
