Question:
What do you intend to do with your TPTT submission now?

Choices:
Bin it
Put it to one side but intend to finish it
Put it to one side and will probably leave it
Adapt it into something else
Have finished or will finish it and will be actively trying to promote it

 

I don't know if it's worth going on with!

Heard from the agent who was interested in my completed novel;
he has fallen into line with all the others who've read it:
not viably commercial.

Can't vote twice;

SUB 1: Polish it

SUB 2: Write it

Non-sub 3: The collab with Jay: Finish it

Non-sub 4: The Comedy Club at my theatre: Establish it!

Then, I guess, I start along the submit-it-to-people route.

At the moment - too busy (a) clearing my life of some deadwood (b) deciding what I do with the rest of it and (c) making space to have a crack at DS!

I'm sorry to hear that Lewes.

A brief period of mourning is called for - a large toke from the virtual bar - and then onwards and upwards!

Can't remember if I mentioned this before, but if your play has a reasonably large cast (6 upwards)it's sometimes worth approaching drama courses. I've had some interest in my TPTT submission and I do think they're on the look-out for new stuff, particularly if it's an ensemble piece where the roles are all about the same size.

Might even be worth proposing plays with smaller casts for internal drama classes to work on too. They always need dualogues etc.

Nice to be back Swann. I like reading what everyone's up to (yes, I am one of those dark, murky 'observers') but got a bit disheartened for a while there with the deadline an'all, so didn't have anything cheerful to say for myself! Cracking on again with writing a one-woman play now, so feeling inspired again.

By the way, this question has been a long time coming, but what IS 'Dramatic Success'??!!

That sounds like a brilliant idea Sadie... I've also been thinking about Am-dram societies since I started posting on here... It's been a serious broadening of horizons for me!

We're just waiting for this Forum to be updated and some final news on TPTT to think about how we take this forward - but it's an exciting plan. You (and any other writers here) would be more than welcome to join us!

Well it seems I'm the only one who is lazy enough to have answered "Bin it"! LMAO

Send it to me, I'll read it. I'm in the book under b by the way.

I'm going to track down an agent with intent to capture! I will do this using a combination of humane hunting methods and a supply of self-addressed envelopes.

Tally ho!

Thez,

Good hunting!

Bambi,

What book?
