A Lap full of ooze

There I was trying to finish another speculative sit com script and I lost my energy. I've been attacking it for months. Other things keep getting in the way. Various comedy competitions including 'Shoot The Writers' and the BBC3 Last Laugh, finish a sit com.

I had an email this week saying my sketches for 'Shoot The Writers' would be broadcast 13th October, after midnight on ITV1. I suppose that's a blessing. Not that I'm pleased with the way they've done them but they are very honest and it is a great start.

So what do I do with a half eaten sit com? Months of not getting it done and all because I can't 'fix' the central character. All the other stuff is there and will either fall or stand if I can fix the main man. I've given him a new name 'Van.' I've talked to him. I've invited him out for a coffee, paid him delicious complements and all I get is a blank stare and "You'll never make me alive copper!"

Passion
I go back to my writer's medicine and see that I have no passion. Well, no energy for this piece. Strange as I always thought it would work, 'Wonk UK' is the title. If you don't have passion for it don't build it as they won't come. I'm sure it will come right. I just need to get a few other things finished, like the new Web site www.dreamdrill.com.

’ When all the energy oozed out of my belly. So here I sit with a lap full of ooze.'
