http://vgj.gamerseurope.com/robwilson/index.htm Being a writer of some (alleged) distinction I should be able to come up with some witty and informative dialogue. Yet, strangely, when I am confronted with a white space and a blinking cursor, my palms go all sweaty, I lose my nerve and end up writing nonsense; like now. I think this syndrome started a few years back when, for my creative writing dissertation, I was asked to write 10,000 words creatively. With such freedom and wild, reckless abandon I ended up writing an autobiographical piece in which ten pin bowling was the principle metaphor. I don't think I've ever recovered. Anyway this is me, Rob Wilson, a wannabe writer in the proudest sense of the term. I guess I’m a bit like a footballer with promise at the moment. I have the talent (or at least, I believe I have raw potential) but not many people make it into the business, which is why I’ve recently qualified to be a teacher – just in case. I’ve written a hell of a lot of stuff for a hell of a lot of people, including the BBC no less. Google BBC and my name and (after you’ve got past all the MP for Reading East gubbins – inconsiderate fool shares my name) you’ll find the Bradford-based part of the BBC riddled with stuff by me. The only problem with all the work I've done so far is that it's all unpaid and often uncriticised. Sometimes I feel as though I'm asked to give a speech with a megaphone to an empty room (I'll leave you to try and figure that one out, it made sense when I wrote it). As you may have realised, I like to write things that make people smile. This often involves poking fun at myself which, quite frankly, comes naturally and easily because I’m a fool. My biggest influence has been Bill Bryson although it's been a decade since I read his work so I would like to think I've developed my own, monologueish, make-up-random-words style. At the moment I’m the acting editor of the Huddersfield University student newspaper ‘Huddersfield Student’ as well as doing a bit of ESOL teaching on the side. After that? Well, maybe you can help me with that decision. Keep smiling and make sure you do whatever you want to do more than anything else. Hugs and kisses. Rob |
