Popped into the office for a bit to do some freelancing writing and it was all a bit odd today. Just me in again, and then I get info from the bosses mum that the boss is probably going to be closing the company down, so I send him a reassuring email telling him he doesn't have to do that, and that it'll all be okay, and he replied saying it probably won't be. Not being blunt, but I'm just a freelancer, who is happy to turn up and do an honest few hours work a day before doing something I'm passionate about, this has all gone a bit weird. Later on I get another email from the boss saying sorry, and that we'll probably keep going as a company. 

Anyway, my beard growing is going well. Which would really bugger up Inadequate Man when I perform it again as that's one of the key jokes, but luckily it's another 3 weeks or so before I drag that show up again for a final hurdle. 

Really confused that 4 different am-dram companies purchased the rights to a play I wrote in 2004, within the last 3 months. One of them even won several awards for their performances of it at a festival. It's a diabolical play, seriously - I thought it was great back then but I was young and stupid, now I read it and I'm offended that it's still signed to a publisher. Got over fifty quid today in royalties for that shit. It's so bad. Seriously, what is wrong with people? 

Finally worked on the credits for the film...there's a lot of people in it, and a lot of people to thank. Certain I've missed somebody important. Karen had an amazing idea for a final little bit at the end, which relates to a bit earlier on, and I think it'll be great. She's a good editor, this one, she actually cares about the content rather than just lumping it all in. This film will do fine, you know. 

Worked on and finished all the lyrics for the Christmas musical; some good stuff there I think, and some less-good stuff. Really want to do a panto, and there's a gap in my diary for 20-22 December that would be perfect for it...
