Quote: Marc P @ January 4 2010, 4:10 PM GMTNo. I meant is it for you to perform or to give to someone else to perform. What are you going to do with it when it is written?
For somebody else to perform. I am going to work with a few people on getting a radio version recorded then maybe a filmed version.
Best of luck with it then, how long a piece are you going for?
I'm being pernickety, James. it really doesn't matter either way to be honest. It's quite obvious from context what you mean, so just pick one or the other.

I'm working in a different way to how I usually write my own stuff. I'm spending a hell of a lot of time on the script. And will be getting various people to help me by script editing as I want it to be the best it can be before recording it.

I give my vote to Sweryt.

Well I had just other 45 minutes worth of material but I've wilted it down to about thirty minutes all in all. So properly thirty minutes.
30 minutes is probably long enough for a monologue.

Yeah I don't want to go over that really. The story comes to a natural end there anyway. Making it longer would just be repeating what I have already said.

It's too long. Unless you're dynamite, you risk boring people to death. Aim for pith.

I have structured my rather differently and I think it could work. But when I'm finished my first draft I have got a few people who said they will go over it for me and if they think it's too long then I will make amendments.

Fair enough.
Quote: chipolata @ January 4 2010, 4:30 PM GMTFair enough.
See I am listening to your feedback. And I will be taking as much advice as I can before I record it.
What's the word count James?

I had more but I have cut some scenes out and I'm not quite finished yet. By the end of the week I will have my final draft.
