Can't quite believe it's taken me 50 years to write a novel(la). But I've done it. It's there. In the shops. I just hope it's not shit!

So, the ebook version is now LIVE, available globally on Amazon, and is part of the KDP Select programme. You can buy it for a grand £1.77 or wait a few days when the PAPERBACK will be out! Please do buy, enjoy, and leave your honest review!! www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CW1H37B8

AND in other news.... the proof of my first book arrived!!!! #alicediamond #diamondalice #thefortyelephants #historicalfiction #novella

Want a FREE copy of my new novella? Be one of the first 50 to Email me at [email protected] with *TEST READER SIGN-UP* and I'll send you an .epub and .pdf of the new novella. The catch is that you email me back a review which I can use on my website, social media and other platforms.

Hey #scriptsky! Better late than never, but the ebook and paperback version of 'The Hoister's Code' - Part 1 of the Diamond Alice series, will be released soon. It'll be pub'd under tScriptworks, so if we need to release other editions , or do reprints, we can. I'll let you know when it's out!

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

Brah... Very true

Video no. 2 is out now. Already a bit better with the camera work, editing and structure - it might seem silly to be posting videos of animated doll-like peoples but it's actually really good at practicing my directing skills and camera work! If you fancy a watch, it's at: youtu.be/paVVxhip6Tk?...

We’ve been watching Wolf Hall, a fascinating study of how the fragile male ego of a fickle, greedy despot creates a culture of deep cruelty and mistrust, where everyone lives in fear of saying the wrong thing. Thank goodness we’ve moved on from those times.

Gah - very nervous to announce my first foray into speedbuilding - check out my very first video on YT HERE! youtu.be/ZdpDlYe76DA

Just hit me why AOC is so good and brilliant at being the adult in the room with all the trashy losers making terrible choices around her. She used to be a bartender.

when you are not allowed to criticize fascism, that's a good indication you are living in a fascist state.

I cannot believe I’ve spent most of the day arguing with someone who’s saying ‘it wasn’t a nazi salute/it was faked by the media/you didn’t watch the whole thing’. FFS. It was real, it was witnessed, he hasn’t denied it happened, and he most certainly knew what he was doing. #elonisanazi

Seeing people talk about the "DEI" orders but not much on the fact that they have added an A for "Accessibility" - ie, Disabled people. They are targeting disabled people too. And it looks like they are coming for the ADA.

Sat in the go waiting room. Bonded with two other ladies over how, while in public, we fight the urge to break out in song when they play power ballads on the radio. Three middle aged ladies singing under our breath in the waiting room. So British.

Mornign #scriptsky So, DO I....start a Youtube channel aimed at gathering all my period drama friends together, in the hope that I can grow a following big enough to attract bigger producers than me who will back my projects - OR - do I just say fuck it and record Sims games forever? Is there 1/2

Absolutely Alexander or Minah have to win. Joe and Leanne are both just bitchy and shit-stirrers. And I was rooting for Charlotte until she started backstabbing Minah. Even though that’s the name of the game.

Alexander: hello I’m a nice and sweet and kind man All the other Faithfuls: YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT #thetraitors

my timeline just being every angle of Alexander carrying these giant cock-shaped statues <3 #Traitors #TheTraitors

I will only accept a Minah or Alexander victory at this point #TheTraitors

Omg. You spend ages thinking ‘how heartless can Minah be?’ And then Charlotte comes along. Oh and Alexander’s story made me cry. Unexpected blindsides in #thetraitors

Without Mel Brooks hiring Lynch to make THE ELEPHANT MAN — on the strength of ERASERHEAD alone — he is very likely just a guy who made a weird film at AFI. That whole filmography you love doesn’t happen. We all need sponsors and mentors and patrons. We need people who believe in us.

Being a writer is almost entirely about perseverance. Life is going to continuously try to keep you from writing or from getting published or from getting things made, and you just have to get in life's way and say “No.”

The best part of the Traitors tonight was when viewers thought for a minute that the actual BBC had buried someone alive underground in a coffin

I love it - "By order of #TheTraitors, you've been murdered" - "Thank you". Bloody love it!

Did anyone else catch this?! 😂 #TheTraitors

#TheTraitors: - freddie’s backflip - “get over it” - anna shaking when she came out the coffin - meina - “can you go a bit faster please… there’s someone in a coffin” - snakeskin slingbacks - them thinking the producers had buried someone alive - one traitor telling the other to vote for her

The harsh truth is that, consciously or not, the question anyone asks when they encounter your screenwriting is, “Can I make money off of this?” Different people have different strategies, timelines, and weights, but it eventually comes down to that. #scriptsky

Can you imagine how much work the cleaners have to do in #squidgame2? That's a LOT of mopping, spraying and wiping. And you never see them, either.

Have put streaming on hold until I can sort out my sound. And get a routine when the kids aren't around, as they're very likely to wander into the front room in their pants. (And that's English pants, not US pants.)

Right, so there is a definite advantage for the 3 who left the train in @thetraitors.bsky.social - if they bring them back later in the game, a) they won't have had to play the first part of the game, won't have risked elimination & the rest of the players won't have had a chance to suss them out.

Only if I can propose in return that tech bros can live in politicians’ spare rooms, use their toothbrushes, and eat from their fridges. Or are only certain sorts of property free to be given away willy-nilly cos billionaires feel like having a go on it? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Ooh, I got a 3! Wordle 1,276 3/6 🟨⬜⬜⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Middle age is seeing an actor on screen and saying to your other half, "Is that...?" and them going "Yes, it is." And you both know who you're talking about exactly, but neither of you can remember their name at that given time.

A remarkable stat: Heidi Alexander’s appointment as Transport Secretary means the cabinet is now 100% state-educated for the first time in history.

Ben is enjoying it.

Had to get them shortened so I could type properly, but @thenailbareastbourne have done a lovely job, and it's helping me get in the mood for Sunday's start of the festive season. #christmasnails #eastbournenails
