which I know sounds ludicrous, but just because my rent is higher than it's ever been, that having my own space has sort of made me more efficient, more productive, and it feels like an investment.

So I've worked out, okay, this suits me better than anything else.

Now, what do I have to do to try and make sure I can continue to live...

on my own, by myself, independently, forever.

I just don't know.

Like, it shouldn't be hard for you to... Well, I did choose playwriting, you know?

I know, but still.

Like, you're doing it at a pretty high level.

um yeah like it's going this year's really good but you know that's the thing there'll be it's not always going to be like that there's um to be we don't have enough opportunities for new writing this is a big opportunity but it's one of very very few um and other people are going to take those spots for the next few years yeah so you are kind of you can't you know i've learned that you can't just go oh

this is this is happening this is great then like literally maybe nothing will happen for three years yeah so that's where I can't give it up though because I've just finally gotten going really with my writing so you know there's other things on the boil and that's kind of the fun of it like the risk of it and also learning like a friend and I wrote a wrote a pilot that we're shipping around and that was really good fun and and really rewarding because

we were trying to set ourselves up as the writers and, and we actually managed to pull that off.

So I, so I'm writing a 30 minute pilot episode is a whole new skill.

Yeah.

So I love, I love all that side of it.

Um, I'm happy never to go on holiday again or anything.

I mean, I can put up with that, but, um, yeah, it's not, I don't know if I can put up with that for you.

Yeah, I feel like, I remember when I left at 32, I remember thinking, do you know what, like, it really was a bit of a struggle to get this far.

I'll just keep going.

So I just have that in my head.

Because I just think if I stopped, I'd end up having to claw my way back in again.
