secrets from the pre-drafting





















new favourite hobby: stalking authors online to track down pre-final versions of their work, for that elusive glimpse behind the magician's cloth - just like back in A-level English.

Amazon Read-Inside gives you the first 7 pages of Shared Patio, the opening story in No One Belongs Here More Than You, by Miranda July.

To be honest, I don't really know who she is any more than happening to catch something on arte, a kind of docu-date with David Shrigley, in Paris, with both seeming as kind of awkward in the situation as you would imagine they would be, though Miranda maybe less so.

After Amazon leaves you tantalisingly before the crux, you can find the rest here... play spot the changes, if you're that way inclined.

She does that kind of sunnily misfit over an awkward, almost anal, introverteness -type of kooky american indie, and you might have heard of her from directing Me and You and Everyone We Know, which is another one to add to the list of films I haven't seen.

and she has a couple of cute ideas for websites.
