The hype is in the deadlines and once those deadlines have been met you have your entered your "baby" into the public domain which is a brave thing to do and one that I've never managed. Write tosh for the Radio Times to publicise Radio 2 - no problem. But MY baby is still on my computer and in lockdown for the time being.<br /><br />You know what? Another "baby" will come along soon and the people who read your blog as well as everyone in the real world will think it's great and so the cyclical process begins all ove again. That your write so eloquently and beautifully can only work in your favour but it's always hard to let go, isn't it?<br /><br />Long may you continue to write for the stage and long may you continue to feel the emptiness once a project is complete because that emptiness could be re-named "artistic re-grouping" ... which if done for long enough (or if one is lucky enough) will result in a play which will receive critical acclaim.<br /><br />K xKaren Redmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368078023802765569noreply@blogger.com
