One more thing.

Must also mention that The Tall Man by Chloe Hooper is one of the best books I have read for a very long time. Go. Go now. Buy it. Read it. Tell me I'm wrong.

What’s next?

In other news from the No one really cares news department, had a great night last night venting to best friend creature about all that I've been through in the last month. Best friend creature is brilliant at nodding head and muttering sympathetically while whipping up a lasagne and chilling yet another bottle of wine. I pace up and down arms flailing and calling everyone moron, fuckwit and idiot that I have to work next to and if I could get away with it, shoot in the foot.

Anyway, feeling much calmer and full of purpose this Saturday morning.

THINGS I WANT TO DO THIS WEEKEND:

  • Type up rewrites of Good World that have sat there for about five weeks
  • Put out at least 5 submissions
  • Buy presents for M, C and father dearest.
  • Clean up shithole masquerading as my house.
  • Call M and tell her to have a GREAT birthday party
  • Have a bath.
  • Read.
  • Write something completely new.
  • Hang out, think about stuff.

Or, if I manage to get out of bed, that would be good too.

News wire

But in word from the good news department, the rehearsal draft is finished!!!!!!!!

AND,

Just in from the Unfuckingbelievable news department, the director likes it.

Well … shit.

Only took seven freakin drafts.

Phlegm witch

Well, she went into rewrite hell. And a cash job. And the worst chest infection a human has ever survived. All at once. At some point, I lost my grasp on who I actually was and grabbed the first personality that came my way. Unfortunately, that was some evil witch that was nearby and I've been living it up with that. And the coughing up of phlegm. Oh, there has been a lot of phlegm. And just when I thought it was all out, coughed up a huge blob this morning. I know. You're thinking, geez, I think we liked her much more when she was absent. Well … You know you want it. Or else why would you be here?

Hello? … Hello?

Oh, where did she go?
