I Feel Sorry For the Writers of Disney’s ‘Wish’: A Review (With Spoilers)

            Okay, finally, I’m here. I’m going to talk about the writing. I think this writing, rather than being horrible or the worst thing ever written by a human being, is a classic case of ‘too many cooks spoil the broth’. When I finished the film and the credits scrolled by I wasn’t surprised to learn that there had been four writers behind it. Because, unlike other people who read it as AI, I read it completely as a film written by many different writers—each with their own ideas, each with their own wants and needs and each getting carried away with their ideas even if they clashed with each other.

A Gift At Halloween (A Short Story)

My Grandma had always told me that our family had a gift. That no matter where we went we could see what most other people couldn’t. My Mum had made sure we didn’t visit Grandma too often. After the one time she’d taken me on a ‘holiday’ to the local graveyard to go and see her dead mother, and locked me inside the crypt, my Mum had vowed never to let me see her ever again.
