Well I hope you're watching Torchwood this week on BBC 1.
Anyway on to the writing side of things. I have recently added a story to the short story to that section and hope to update it regularly.
I have been working on other stuff and have been thinking recently about randomness in films and books. I'm sure we've all seen films and television programs where an important decision is decided by chance. Sometimes an entire story hinges on the luck or unluck of the protagonist. This of course was used to great effect in the film Sliding Doors. In writing one of my stories I've considered using really randomism. So if a flip of the coin is required then that is what I do. The story's form is then dictated by that out come. Of course this will not always work. If your character is defusing a bomb and has to pick which wire to cut - you probably don't want them to be blownup! Nevertheless some stories are more flexible and it might be interesting to try.
