Busy, Busy, Busy
So since the last blog post I have been busy.
I've written and have been rehearsing my stand up for class at the weekend. The style is more anecdote based than what I wrote about last week, so hopefully I can be more confident with it. I thought that I would be performing the material last Saturday, but the workshop turned in to more of a writing one. At least it gave me more time, as I didn't have it properly memorised then. Now I think that I'm a bit better at it. I've got a few more days I think I'll be ok. That way, during class I can just concentrate on the performance aspect. A big thanks to my good friend Jen who has given me some great feedback on my material, so hopefully I'll be able to incorporate this in time for the weekend.
This past Saturday, I met up with several friends about the sitcom we are writing together. We discussed the script and then afterwards we went our separate ways. I've been trying to put together a new draft over the past few days. I think that I can try to finish a new draft before this coming Saturday too when we are meeting up again. I've got a couple of more pages to go, but I think that I can get it done.
Newsjack submissions kicked off this week too, with the sketch submission deadline this past Monday at noon. I was a little rusty not having written sketches in a while. I had 3 ideas, but I was only able to properly write one. The other two kinda of died in the middle and I was a little disappointed in that, but maybe I'll figure out a way to get them working in the future and can submit them somewhere else. Yesterday was the deadline for the one liners for Newsjack. I managed one, and that wasn't great, but I submitted it anyway.
So that's my week in a nutshell, and now that Newsjack has started again I get to do it over all again next week. And on top of that, I'll probably have to add writing stand up to the mix, too.
So here's to the new week.
Have a good one,
Matt.
