Note to self: never attempt to write a comedy again... ever!

..well unless I'm really in the mood.

For months now, I've been writing radio drama scripts, and I really enjoy them... All maybe except for this one. I always knew my forte was leaning towards drama, or tragedy. So it's really a challenge for me to be writing this current script - a comedy. I was looking forward to it because I envisioned a traditional comedy ... Satire, black, humorous. If I'd me judging myself, it's a disaster! Terrible, terrible, terrible!

It could be the timing or circumstances in my life. Ah but it sucks big time! It's not funny enough, it's not deep enough, it doesn't have a point... not even a premise. If there was, well, thank God for giving significance to each creation - even if it was man-made. What's my point again? I suck at comedies.

Bummer.

I'm down to my last 3 episodes. Three more episodes to write and I'm off the hook, finally! Twenty episodes of nothingness... how can I redeem myself now?

Last week, my boss told me that we received great reviews (from texters) for the last drama I wrote. It was supposed to inspire me - but I was working on the wrong material and a very very wrong timing to be using such inspiration. It's just not right. Hmm, writer's block, perhaps? From a mountaintop I was standing last month.. I'm now at the bottom of the pit. And guess what.. it's a bottomless pit. Argh!

Cynical.

I hope I can still write a good material after this nightmare.
