Photo of a snail and its trail: it's climbed up the side of a brick, then made a sharp turn down again.

Parkour.

From now on, every time I hear someone tell me they only use AI to "come up with ideas", I'm going to give them a slightly pitying look and say "Aw, are your own ideas that bad?"

Daughters! Literally two weeks between “Over my dead body” to her first walkies.

#Andor

Ive always relied on a subtle air of menace 😜

Bloody hell, couple of the actors from Andor haven’t aged a day in the last decade!

I will never understand writers who use generative AI. For me, the act of writing—the actual act of putting pen to paper or typing on a keyboard—is deeply fulfilling. The very act of creation—yes, it’s joyful and exciting. Why the fuck would you rob yourself of that happiness? FUCK AI

Caught another writer using AI & they were promptly let go.

I can not stress this enough: Any editor worth anything can AND WILL catch you if you're using AI to write. It's not slick, it's not subtle, & so many behavioral patterns beyond the writing are dead giveaways.

Do the work or get out.

Just renewed my WGGB membership, the only trade union in the UK for playwrights, screenwriters, audio dramatists, authors, videogames writers and poets. We’re stronger together! #WGGB #WGAW

If I was being a snarky bitch, I might say something about the BBC spending money on dead computer generated writers whilst sacking actual living and breathing ones. But I’m not, so I won’t.

Visited Jeju island yesterday, four hundred years ago 3 hell-raising European sailors landed here, they were the first westerners to set foot on the Korean peninsular. Captured by Joseon Dynasty soldiers, their subsequent adventures were epic!

There’s always a Plan B. Mission to Jeju will continue tomorrow.

Stuck in a fog bound Yeosu airport, all flights to Jesu Island cancelled. Frantically pivoting and replanning, we’ve important stuff to see. With @meanpeach.bsky.social

Me and @meanpeach.bsky.social (Mike Walker) are off to South Korea today for a new writing adventure. Excited to be involved with an ambitious international co-pro. We’ll be buckling some swashes and channelling our love of movies like Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean for this one

Really enjoying #TheBondsman on @primevideouk.bsky.social. Didn’t have the first clue what it was about when I put it on, a genuine surprise that I can highly recommend. The Fall Guy meets a very adult Buffy!

Coyote vs Acme has been acquired by Ketchup Entertainment for distribution!

The film stars Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor and Tone Bell.

Always loved the dramatic way this line was delivered

It’s grim up north.

It’s not impossible for the working class to make a career for themselves in the creative industries. It’s just a bit harder. But we’re used to that. Keep on keeping on.

#scriptsky

Not everyone wants or needs a pitch deck for their screenplay and/or film, but for those that DO...I'm available for hire!

Here's four examples I've created for my own scripts and films.

Need a deck? DM me for rates!

Rogue Leader. Still play it today.

Rewatching Star Trek : Enterprise. It’s great.

Love this scene! This movie's a classic if you've never seen it. I think it's De Palma's best. Script by David Mamet doesn't hurt!
