Where are people at with their writing? Page 3

Somebody said that to me the other day, suggesting that I must really hate football if I'm willing to come up with a whole site based on taking the mick out of it. Quite the opposite, I love football. I also happen to think that it has just enough ridiculous characters in it to generate enough comedy material.

You don't have to love football to write for Soccer Someday by the way, it just helps a little. Read the stuff that's there already and you'll see what we do.

I run a similar site based on the most hilarious excuse for a football club in the history of world football. It's five years old this week.

Lots of in-jokes only people with twenty-nine fingers will get. Sorry.

I'll have a look at that when I'm awake. Looks interesting.

Done a first draft of 12 episodes for my sitcom. Will be doing a second draft for my six sketch show episodes for the next six weeks. And then will be on to my other sitcom, where I've first drafted two episodes and have ideas for the other four.

Also have another comedy I've been gathering ideas for, and six episodes of a radio comedy which has ideas but has yet to have a first draft.

I've decided I'm just going to write them all, get everything the way I want it and send them off bit by bit. Last thing I sent in a couple of years ago was regarded as promising but I know if I take my time I can get them just right. I'd rather do that than have something on screen, then off, and forgotten about like so much stuff these days. Longevity is the key.

Actually read last week that Four Weddings And A Funeral went through 17 drafts.

It was originally called One Wedding

I am preparing a few shortish sets, but i don't know when i will perform them like Ajp i hope to do stand up full time. I am also writing a short comedy film about a modern day super hero, that has had his funds cut by the government and is struggling with his job so he has to do a dead end job by day.

I have erased, binned stamped on & set fire to all of mine. I am starting afresh. I want to appeal to the extremely well educated members of society. I am booked on an English course and meeting up with some desirable intellects with 44 degrees under their belts. Boy its going to be Hot under there.

I have amputated my lips from around my arse hoooole and sewn them back on my face, where they belong.

You're crazy.

Blimey! I wrote for that lot for nearly a year, getting at least one sketch into every performance, and more often than not a couple of sketches, and what did I end up with? A cheque for just over six pounds!!! I suppose I could have tried to complain, but at the time I couldnt be bothered, and it had just been nice that some one had performed my stuff; looking back the bastards screwed me over!!!!

Well bloody done AJP. *claps*.
Quick write 10 more and make it over a grand.
Woo! Wahey! Whee!
Clever boy.

Well done ajp. Tell us what sort of stuff they're after.
