I'm not procrastinating; staring at the sea, listening to vintage Starlight Express bootlegs and gnawing on CBD gummie bears is my artistic practice.

I’m not procrastinating; making a 24-hour stock, while dancing to the music of Freddie Mercury and eating warm home-popped popcorn is my artistic practice.

I’ve deleted my x account. I don’t want to give them access to my data or hole pics anymore and can’t contribute to it. So I’m here and on Instagram and in Lidl on Saturday mornings. Also quite often in Greggs on Sauchiehall Street. And I dabble in threads but barely.

I saw a human design life coach last year and she was basically that! I never feel like a great advert for a therapist but imagine what I’d be like if I didn’t have one!

In Mad About the Boy Renée has proven herself to be the Chaplin of our times. She makes walking cinematic again.

Important writing advice. If a character doesn’t have an arc this is ok so long as they do slapstick.

I’m so excited for this to be out in the world and I hope people have fun with it and make it make sense.

Introducing our Scripted writer development group 2023/24 We are delighted to introduce the twelve writers who we have been working with since autumn 2023.

I did this lovely thing with these lovely people. And now I’ve got a new spec TV script. www.bbc.co.uk/writers/blog...

Thrilling that Drew Droege is in Queer and I really wanted him to do this but I feel he did it with his eyes. youtu.be/S-LRITaHUbI?...

A lot of the people at the party I was at just now won’t even know there was cheese there but for us sober girls it was the main event and the secret to my effervescent personality. A good sharp cheddar can really elevate one.

Sometimes I’m that person too. 🤫

Me to the person I sit next to on a packed train who never really gets over the fact I sat next to them as they seem to think it’s their office. I paid £32 too matey.

Having a blast working on this with these folks. Far and away the best new writing I’ve worked on this year.

Starlight Express? Never heard of it. Vote for Kenneth and Suse!

Awoke with a notion to buy an advent candle. Very much enjoyed the pomp and ceremony of CONCLAVE and I figured you’ve got start somewhere… which is Lakeland apparently.

Picture of you on a boat.

Gran Canaria, 1964

New Ken Loach film incoming

My first record was Mel and Kim’s Respectable and I accidentally melted it by leaving it on top of my teasmade. I don’t think I’m over it.

Post you from a different era?
1992, top of Ben Lomond, when I had a dark room under the stairs and developed my own black and white photos.

Some incredible performances in this. Worth a nom.

Thank you!

👋 thanks!

Up at dawn’s crack to finish my final draft of a TV script on a scheme. This year I’ve been told more times to give things another big push than you hear in a whole series of Call the Midwife… Let’s do this!

Yes, there will also be singing.
About the dark times."
