The First Draft is done!

A mad week. On Halloween night I was working right up to the wire on the screenplay, and finally e-mailed it to Mark at 11:55pm. He's on the West coast of the US, though, so he got it a few hours ahead of the deadline! I'm pretty pleased with it, and looking forward to Mark's notes.

I also went to two events at the Writers' Guild, which I'll write up in due course. After each one there were major train problems so I didn't get home until gone midnight both times. Then I was up at Six to get to the day job, where I've had two projects coming up to deadlines too. I've been running on empty for days now, and have spent most of today sleeping.

Now, I've got a very short hiatus before resuming work on the feature, where I can think about putting something together for the Channel 4 pilot scheme, if I can find the energy!

it will be good when you can quit that pesky day job.

Speaking of day jobs, I just read that the Pilot scheme pays £100 a week for the eight weeks' training and no accomodation expenses.

Can you get eight weeks' holiday? And can you afford to live on £100 a week?

pd - I dream of the day, but I don't think it's going to be any time soon.

Phill, thanks - I also read that in the Guild's weekly e-mail after I'd posted this. Looks like I won't be entering anything for Pilot. I didn't really have time anyway.
