How is it that time can feel like it's stood still for months yet suddenly you find yourself at Feb 23rd without much to show for it? I have literally no idea - literally.
Last time I updated I was full of enthusiasm for everything that was to come, but I seem to have dropped into the doldrums, the glums, a rut - whatever you want to call it we can safely say I've not been happy. I've located some darkness in my soul that needs a bit of attention and maybe an airing! So I'm going to write it out of me!!! But don't worry - I'm not going to write it here (unless it becomes a thing of beauty!?!) I just know how helpful writing your deepest troubles and darkest thoughts can be. To see them on a page somehow sets everything in a different light. It doesn't necessarily 'fix' things, but it sure does help!
Something that's really helping this week is being on a course!! Oh yes! My fave thing to do! It's called 'Comedy Crash Course' and is run by the amazing folks at Funny Women (check them out - they're awesome: www.funnywomenawards.com) and on Friday I'll be doing a little turn at a showcase. I've decided to explore a character called Susan who happens to have cropped up in two separate stand-up sets I've written and performed, so I thought she might need bringing out a bit. I love exploring people and characters so fingers crossed she'll make a few people laugh.
Speaking of people and characters, I'm super excited as Dave (my fella who's a postman and all round funny man) and I have almost finished the scripts for the first series (there could be hundreds in us - seriously) of our audio comedy. So once it's had it's last bit of spit and polish we can get on with recording it and then I can start the steep hill of editing and then - maybe just maybe - we'll get it out there as a podcast! Ooooh! Between us Dave and I voice all the characters and it's super challenging (why do I say super so much? It really REALLY annoys me. But for the sake of erm - something - I'm going to leave it in there...) but we LOVE creating ridiculous people and ridiculous voices for them! Oooh! It's right good fun!
Well, I'd better go and have some tea - but can I just say that writing this wee bit of fluff has lifted my spirits quite a bit - so I should probs keep writing stuff on here! It cheers my soul!
Let's have a Shakespearean insult to finish with shall we??
THOU WARPED HARD-HAIRED HORN BEAST!!!
Make of that what you will...
