I have three script ideas officially "banked" with the Doctors folk in Birmingham.
And, one of these days, they're going to give me a commission to write one of them. They will.
In the meantime, the more ideas they have, the greater my chances, so I've spent today working on a couple of outlines. I only got one down on paper, in draft, but it feels solid. The other one will have to wait a bit.
I also spent far too much time sorting out the correct formatting for a radio play. I have my fingers crossed for a commission in that direction, so I'm listening to a good few examples of the genre, and sorting out what they look like on the page. That way, when the commission comes (ahem), I can get started immediately.

Hi Paul,
Well done on getting your Doctors ideas "banked". Keep us updated on the progress.
How's the Coming Up submission coming along?
Thanks, Opti.
Well, I just got some feedback on my draft submission and it looks like it needs quite a lot of re-working. But I'm in charge of the kids over the Easter Hols, so time to do it is tight. Due in next Tuesday, I believe.
Could be some late nights.
Those are the sacrifices we must make it seems! I'm fitting it around a bust script reading week. The submission itself doesn't need much work, I just need to find a way of making it more of a "selling document" I think. At the moment it's just story. And I need to tidy up a writing sample before I can send it off too so I expect a few late nights as well.
Ah, late nights...it's all material, right? I think I'm going to have to put this baby on hold...which could be difficult, considering my due date is April 18th! I think that's a good omen though.
