RIGHT! Gonna make an eggie and marmite toastie Then gonna open the producer friend's notes and do some re-writin' It will all be all be crap, a waste of my free time, a futile charge headlong into the maw of oblivion But you know what I LIKE CAVALRY AND THAT'S WHAT THEY DO MORS AUT GLORIA!

Face of the person who read my script for me when they asked me who I wanted to direct just before they read it "Guy Ritchie" "Seriously? It's a political sci fi" "Read it" "Okay" (Time passes) "Okay now it makes sense" I mean it, if he wants to do a serious drama for once

My networking sucks. But I turned up last night. Glitzy premier aspiring screenwriter lifestyle box checked, and I was like, can I go home now?

It is time I rarely, if ever, take such steps πŸ˜” But given the state of Things I am left with no choice but to do what I would never otherwise do πŸ˜” Bake One Courgette and Feta loaf coming up 1/n

Okay there's creepy so it is πŸ‘€ Note to sell not to watch this at night, in the dark, on my own 😢 Uncanny Season 2 now on BBC iPlayer, and tbh if you're a sceptic, watch episode 1, it's one hell of a belter that takes some explaining πŸ‘» Def worth the license fee alone!

Spent the evening with headphones on for Monday screenwriting group on Zoom Whole doing 3hrs of local deliveries after work It was glorious Locals must think I'm insane commenting on violent scenes in a member's script while shoving magazines through the letterbox In the rain

Yay! I'm going on holidaaay! πŸ₯° Well, 3 days soon on Dartmoor doing what most trainees would gladly take a holiday FROM, splashing over the moors with a backpack and sandwiches. All booked! Also planning to finish writing the changes after the Notes. Ha ha. Right...

The Baltic states Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have today fully decoupled their energy grid from Russia. At the moment they are running in an island mode, but starting tomorrow the energy grid will be reconnected with the European Union.

Sitting here with my producer friend's notes open on one screen, and the scenes he commented on open on t'other I have an idea to fix it But it's like diving off the top board I don't understand why my psyche is always so nervous when it's soared so many times before

Have pages of notes back on one scene, but have just finished the pitch deck, and excuse my French but it looks seriously Fucking Amazing 😎

A couple of sneaky foxes painted for the River Rea art trail in Longbridge, Birmingham. This was previously part of the MG Rover factory site, which took 15 yrs to clear of industrial waste. Now it's home to a clean stretch of river that's teeming with wildlife 🌿

I mean it's not just that it's AI Nor just that it's badly proportioned, out of focus, very fascist and with crap fonts and wording positioning that are literally stealing Channel4 design IP It's also the fact it's shit

I am just now easing through the feeling sick at my own imposter syndrome temporary writing impotence, after downing half the bar with a writer friend last night Am now Emerging the Other Side to hit the writing again this weekend to structure in the Notes and Improve the Thing
