TV - Escapism for the Masses. My life in the Goggle Box.

16/7/2014

I watch a lot of TV. I mean a LOT of TV and I love every minute of it. It's the surrogate life of an ME sufferer and I've experienced the world vicariously through the lives of my favourite characters. I've been a vampire slayer, a witch and a CTU agent. If my TV skills transferred to the real world I'd be deadly!

Having been ill for so long, I've finely tuned my imagination, especially while I was bed bound for six years. I love the escapism you get from watching TV, you can disappear into another world and sometimes that's the only way to get through the day.

I'm a bit annoying to watch TV with because I always try to guess what's going to happen. I'm getting quite good at it too. In fact I quite like the idea of writing for TV, something sharp and edgy, drama with humour and action. I love US dramas and I think there's a gap for a British alternative.

When I heard about a local TV script writing course, I decided to sign up. It's a lot of fun and has definitely opened up my eyes to other writing possibilities outside of my novel. Watch this space.... Or maybe watch your TV and look out for my name popping up under the Writer Credit at the end of the show. That would be amazing!
Claire Wade is the winner of the Good Housekeeping Novel Competition and author of The Choice. She was bed bound for six years with severe ME, trapped in a body that wouldn't do what she wanted. She now writes about people who want to break free from the constraints of their lives, a subject she's deeply familiar with.
