I mean, I'm pretty sure there is no place for me in 'the real world', as dramatic as that sounds (because I've had 2 beers). I thought getting temp work was supposed to be the easy bit? Everyone goes temping, every now and then. Richards doesn't, agencies don't seem to like Richards, with his arty CV. The one I had basically fell through, which niggled me a lot, before I'd even started the thing. And then an agency asked me to take a test online, which I did, and I did well - the results were good because I'm no thickie, but that took out TWO HOURS of my day. Applied for a part-time post working for a funeral agency, should be fun.
And all of that generally gets in the way of what I quit my day job for in the first place...to be a proper artist. I don't have a free evening until 17th May.
Had another couple of interesting emails from proper celebs about the '50 Ways...' film, this one really is building into something, you know.
Spent quite a long time listening to the tracks Marcel gave me last night - the tracks which will be in the musical I'll be writing very soon, as soon as this novel and film are out of the way.
Evening tried out the very new storytelling show. I performed it as a 'storytelling lottery' style event, with the audience picking a number and then I read the story which relates to it. Really, really worked tonight. Shouldn't have done, but I just felt so good performing in front of Esther, Meg, Claudia, Marcel and Edd, such an easy show. The new material is dark, so very dark (the one about the suicidal spider really seemed to upset Esther) but you write how you feel, and I'm a bit uncertain about things right now. The recordings sound great, will set that up for release tomorrow. Happy enough Paul.
