Is the dole office a long way away?
Dentist time. Kill me now.
Just watched a video of a read-through showcase of a short play wot I wrote. Meant to be going to see another thing wot I wrote performed in a couple of months but definitely not going now. I genuinely feel a bit sick and have gone shivery. How on Earth do people manage to watch their own stuff? If anyone has tips then please share cos I get the impression I'm supposed to be professional and turn up when people have selected and performed my work. It is too, too traumatic. Can I have a hug from someone nice please?!

Woman up... er woman! And remember in theatre they are usually very nice to the writer. When you go in to a read through, the director will expect notes from you. Be an active part of the read through, It is your vision. You are the original creator of the piece.
Now kick some ass!!

Yeah! Grr! Or, I might just never watch or read anything I write once I can no longer hug it protectively. Yep, I'll do that.
Footballer I'm writing footie articles for just emailed me to tell me he's tweeted something of mine, which was a bit too much for my poor nerves at this time of day. I might have to go and hide and not write anything in case someone actually looks at it
What you need to do is write everything under a pen name, then you'll have emotional separation. May I suggest Tallulah Pendragon?

Do what I do sometimes and hide your name under a carefully disguised pen name as Zooo remarks.
