So this is it - after <em>24 years of teaching in secondary school</em> I have two years funding to dig my way to... something else (hence the blog title - younger readers might need to Google "Colditz escape tunnels".)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><br /> It's a bit of a shame I didn't make it to 25 years service - we used to get a <span style="background-color: yellow;">£50 M&S</span> voucher from the local authority for long service - presumably to renew our corduroy jackets with leather arm patches. Sadly, this motivational tool has been discontinued due to sarcastic comments.<br /><img height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMtGqTU1UDqRDCSnbc9qI2VbCI63z347piHklk7zZ0-vcMtfHJWVK3LB3XCSzBbC1OsfGaoxf9Y2HFhjPi-yaDQKc5FGajQIuH7juYAMY8JKuviOa0beXUvnbgH_ayl-zHNoiWF92AjNmS/s320/p009ml3y_640_360.jpg" width="320" /><br /><br /> Anyway, what will this occasional blog (fortnightly/monthly ish) witter on about? Mainly my Earth shattering progress towards creative stardom - possibly to inspire/depress others about breaking out of whatever working life they want to escape from. My three tunnels to escape are:<br /><strong></strong><br /><ul>
<li><strong>Tom</strong>: Finishing and marketing my paranormal action novels - the Jason Willow series (start at <a href="http://www.jasonwillow.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #2288bb;">www.jasonwillow.com</span></a>)</li>
<li><strong>Dick</strong>: Designing and marketing games - currently a strategic card game and a board game concept </li>
<li><strong>Harry</strong>: Working as a massively in demand, award winning, freelance advertising copywriter.</li>
</ul>
There's also a couple of side-lines like some invention ideas (from toast to toilet life-changing gadgets) but I'm kind of suspecting those tunnels will hit rocks pretty soon.<br /><br /> I'll probably keep a track of certain key progress measures... like rejection letters (publishers, distributors etc.), money earned (small space needed), alcohol units per week and that sort of thing.<br /><br /> Also, for the jaded amongst us, I'll likely have the odd thought about education (much like my last 24 years really) and whatever else I can vaguely link to the theme here.<br /><br /> So - time to stop now as it's 6:22 a.m. and I need to put on my teacher costume for one final show.<br /><br /> TTFN</div>
