Wow!

The concept hit me last night

I had a reasonably solid 5 page treatment written up within a couple of hours

Spiffed it up and expanded it a little this morning

I'm stoked!

Can't wait to get writing!

I’m usually inspired by music, but my most recent projects…

LATE LAST NIGHT - the Tommyknocker poem + wanting to do some harder horror.

HELL’S HARPIES - listen to the song Hell’s Coming With Me by Poor Man’s Poison.

ONE BITE STAND - Buffy the Vampire Slayers odd connection to Spike.

They are going to push their precious tech because they are heavily invested financially in it.

If it fails, they are screwed.

Only idiots will fully embrace this.

Lol….we can’t help who we are Tim, and we are story tellers. When the story hits us, we have to do it.

I find it too chaotic….I wish it was on Discord instead.

Things are moving much faster with One Bite Stand than with the Harpies.

I guess my brain wants to write a romcom.

A monster romcom but still rom and com.

Thanks Leah but after weeks and weeks of β€œgrace” I have to write.

I have to create or my heart will explode.

Thanks Phoenix…I’m inching along but at least something is coming out.

I really want to finish Hell’s Harpies and One Bite Stand.

Writing whilst depressed is a very strange thing.

Not sure how it’s going to influence these comedies I’m writing.

We’ll see.

It is and there are (I’m on the committee) but if you follow it you get updates and announcements of when it is going to happen.

If anyone would like some notes on a script, I've got some capacity to have a read!

Well, I didn’t write at all yesterday or today.

So, now I feel like I failed myself.

But there is tomorrow.

Failing often and failing well is a skill worth developing. Each big swing teaches you something about your voice, your limits, your potential. Writers who succeed aren't the ones who never failβ€”they're the ones who fail better and learn faster than everyone else.

They look so beautiful…wish I had the whole set.

And just the line drawings so I could then use my water colours to enhance.

Probably not. Women are held to a higher standard when it comes to making a film. And even when it’s a hit, like Cocaine Bear directed by Elizabeth Banks, where’s her next project?

I tried them a year ago, I lasted about a week because I didn’t have the time for that kind of immature foolishness.

No, I endorse your podcast.

You are very handsome, ruggedly handsome.

Now cut it out!
