Good little writer

Have been back at cash job for the last week and a bit. Not the worst cash job I've ever had but not exactly a barrel of fun either. It's busy and it's all to do with metal and mining and things that come out of the ground and get shipped to the other side of the world. Or China. This of course needs a lot of lawyers writing a lot of things to each other. But a job is a job is a job.

But in an effort to become Good Little Writer of the Year, I have been getting up at 4.30 (yes, that's in the am) and working on New Light Shine. It takes every ounce of determination to sit up in bed and say "Get up you lazy little thing". But I have been doing it and now the outline is done and dusted. The whole play is worked out. I know what this play is about, I know what happens and I know why it happens. Happy? You betcha.

I'm going to have to leave it alone for the weekend as I've been longlisted for a fellowship and now I have to get the next round of the application ready by Monday morning. Fun times.
