And as was clear last night, I missed the perfect equilibrium. As a result I woke at five, head filled with nonsensical and shameful scary nightmares, all plot related before dozing again for an hour and finding the shimmering pieces of the bad dreams falling like kaleidoscope diamonds into place for the key to the plot I'd been wrestling with for weeks.
In other words, the recycle bin of my brain had been fighting with the smart stuff, and eventually the smart stuff won through. As a result, my creative side is tired exactly when it should be, about nine o'clock, unlike last night where it kept me awake and kept awaking me. The balance is preserved and perfect and I feel sated with expelling words, like the opposite of a good dinner.

- SCRIPT DOCTOR Si Spencer has written extensively for television, including long stints on Eastenders, Grange Hill and The Bill as well as comic book projects, Judge Dredd, Tank Girl and his own critically acclaimed graphic novel series ‘The Vinyl Underground’.

Currently taking a sabbatical from writing TV drama to finish a commissioned novel and independent movie, I’m enjoying the opportunity to help other writers solve those knotty problems we all face. If you feel the need for expert constructive criticism, professional validation that your great idea is as good as you know it is, or if you’re beating your head against the wall on a plot point, I’ve been there from both sides of the production and can help you find your own creative solutions to improve your script from as little as forty pounds.
