Was up till 2am writing the first episode of 'Bits of Me Hurt.' See, I've had this producer asking for a sitcom script ages ago, I've got publishers wanting a novel...and the thing I write? A dark, if joyously tender, little script that nobody really wants but it's just something I feel the need to do. The draft, on reading it this morning, isn't as good as I thought it was last night but the idea is still potentially really exciting. It needs work, but I'll pilot the first episode first with an actress before developing the characters and writing more episodes.
Spent a little time on that today, and then cleared all the Red Bull cans from my car ahead of it's MOT tomorrow. It's never going to pass, but I need it to, desperately, as I have to drive to a funeral on Friday in Devon. People are relying on me. All fingers crossed.
Got my proper stand-up début on Monday, spent a couple hours putting together the material for that - I'll play it safe and go dark...
Dowsing rehearsal was both long and tiring, but still a joyous thing. Got several ideas for shows/musicals that I'll never get around to writing.
