Just wanted to appeal to my fellow Royal Court Young Writers to support me and visit www.openmagazine.co.uk and read my column DIARY OF A DIVA (ironic title and not of my own creation) and leave a (nice) comment at the bottom of my page! (It's about my life as a young writer/actress...and exceptional blagger!) Your support is much appreciated. Thank you so much.
Love Hayley
P.S
I'm working on two new plays for the court and can't decide which to concentrate on...the one that depresses me, or the one that makes me feel guilty?! (My dad keeps saying "can't you just write a farce??")

Melanie Challenger Eleanor Rees Chris McCabe Songdog
Salt poets Eleanor Rees (Andraste's Hair) and Melanie Challenger (Galatea) have both been nominated for this year's Forward Prize for Best First Collection.
Which is reason enough to come and hear them read. Like Eleanor, Chris McCabe is a Salt poet and a Liverpudlian. His collection The Hutton Inquiry is a
powerful examination of language under pressure. Musical refreshment is provided by the excellent Songdog, led by playwright Lyndon Morgan.
