Don't give up the day job.

I have just ignored the above advice.

Well sort of.

Actually the day job gave me up, my contract came to an end and rather than find another job I decided it was time to put up or shut up. You see I have always wanted to be a television writer – I say always, I did for a brief period want to be an astronaut but, in fairness, I was only 5 years old at the time. My dreams of exploring the big old blackness of space ended when I grew up and realised that my selected career would involve a risk of dying in a hideous fireball – this was about the same time in my life that I realised that I was a coward.
