As usual, my newsletter going out on schedule took me by surprise, and I forgot to tell anyone to sign up beforehand. So I'm letting you know now that you can read the latest issue here, and if a lot of it doesn't make sense that's because it's the latest chapter in a serialised story, and you can start from the beginning of the story if you'd rather, and you can also subscribe to get new chapters in your email every month.
October's Foggy Outline newsletter is here – if you're subscribed and you haven't seen it yet, please check your junk, or just read it at this link instead! If you're not subscribed, you can also do that at the link.
6 table reads done and 1 whole ep recorded and ready for dialogue edit! Not bad for a day's work
Table reads for I Need A Miracle start today! Actual voice actors are going to say the words I wrote! I know from previous theatre stuff that this will end up being massively exhilarating, it always is – getting other artists' takes on the material, finding new meanings I didn't consciously put there, it's energising, it fills you up. But right now in the few hours before we get started, I've never had less confidence in these scripts 😂 The brain gremlin chorus is in agreement that every actor will ask questions I don't know the answer to and I will look foolish and amateurish in front of accomplished artists and creative professionals, and that they will all point out irreconcilable flaws in the characters and story that I am simply too blind to see
Anyway, I'm off to distract myself by casting my vote for Mayor of London and the Greater London Authority – my own little appeal to earthly powers for change I'm too small to enact myself, before the cast and the Wireless team and I start this next stage of producing a series all about appealing for divine intervention when the thing you want is simply too big to make happen yourself.
hey writers, did you know,
when you get other people involved and start properly taking your audio drama from page to airwaves,
that you get to talk to those other people about your world and your characters and your ideas all the time?
that all the cool people you got involved because you think their work is brilliant will ask you to tell them about those things?
and that you don't have to worry "am I being tedious/dominating the conversation by talking about my writing", because all these cool people whose work you admire literally need you to talk about your writing so they can do their jobs?
