What a fabulous piece of news I had from my pal Heather Doram yesterday!<\/p>\n
Regular readers will know that Heather and I appeared in the Women of Antigua production When a Woman Moans in 2011 and 2012 as two characters called Maisie and Em in two sketches I had written especially for the shows.\u00a0 They were very well-received and feedback was that the sketches and characters formed a fabulous base for a TV series.\u00a0 We both\u00a0loved that idea – one we totally\u00a0agreed with – and a young, dynamic Antiguan film-maker, Lawson Lewis, agreed to join us and we made a couple of short clips late last year – they’ll be available through my website and Youtube as soon as Lawson’s finished editing them.\u00a0 (No pressure, Lawson!!)\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally Heather, wonder-woman that she is – has got a serious sponsorship offer\u00a0for two six-episode series.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I AM ECSTATIC!<\/p>\n
I am also nervous –\u00a0can’t stop the doubts.\u00a0 Will the script be funny enough?\u00a0\u00a0Will I have enough ideas?\u00a0 Will it actually come off?\u00a0 Will I get paid in full for my work this time?<\/p>\n
The answer to all of these questions has to be a resounding YES!!!\u00a0\u00a0 I\u00a0now have the opportunity to show what I can really do.\u00a0 And it’s not as if I’ve never written for TV; I already have Paradise View under my belt.<\/p>\n
So, suddenly, I’m dusting off the half-written episodes and having e-conferences with Heather – thank God for Skype!<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it means Singles in India has to go onto the back burner for a short while, but, Dear Reader, I know you understand.<\/p>\n
Stay warm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
