I'm taking on too much at the moment. I know I am. I enjoy it, mostly, but today I looked at my to-do list and panicked a little.
Mostly because I had to do some 'proper' work first of all, which took up 5 hours of my day. I then approached more people to see if they fancy being in the soap opera (already confirmed Izzy, Emma, Josh, Alan, Sarah and probably Katie if we can catch her on her weekly Cambridge visits).
Trying to fill in the gaps of my existing tour schedule niggled me because this show doesn't seem to be grabbing people, despite the fact that I wrote loads of really funny new bits for it late last night - but I guess they don't know that. Did some PR for the existing dates in April.
Approached every major publisher in the UK about the forthcoming book version of '50 Ways...'. I won't go for a US publisher this time; I got $8 in royalties the other day for US sales of a book I wrote two years ago. I was paid by cheque, but the fee from the bank to convert it was £8. I was actually making a loss cashing in on my own royalties! Fucks. Sake.
Have the best idea ever for a feature film and just want to write it. When, though? I still need to write the other 12 episodes of the soap, and the 4 Lab musical, and then various bits for various people for Edinburgh.
Evening gig with Claudia et al was fine; first half a bit sloppy, second half great - just like the gig with them the other day. It's a set-list thing, I think. Great to meet up with Jo, have cast her in the soap. Most of my mates are in this soap, to be honest.
Need to learn my lines for 'Clive's Date' at some point, as it's being filmed on Thursday night. I'm not the writer of this, but I've been cast in the lead. I've been cast as the awkward loser on a date, not that I'm type cast or anything.
