Thanks buddy! Still shocked by it, tbh. It was a far more horror-y script than I expected the BBC to like πŸ˜‚

I'd absolutely love that, bud! Honestly no rush at all, I'm just going through my back catalogue and trying to get everything up to standard, if that makes sense!

Do you have anything you'd like eyes on? πŸ™‚

Hey #scriptsky peeps! Just finished a rewrite of a super old folk #horror script - anyone fancy a swap?

I've been told just give decent notes 😁

Finished Red Dead Redemptiom 2. What an absolute masterclass in storytelling and direction.

Guess it's time to play the first game for the first time 😁

Dammit. I've returned to my second script and it turns out what it's been missing is I've not been adequately mean to my protagonist.

Lordy lord, this new draft is gonna be (hopefully!) a heartbreaker #scriptsky

Doing a bit of a rewrite of an old script - always amazing to see how much my writing style has changed in a few years.

And, predictably, now it looks like it's a top to bottom rewrite because I love the premise, but damn there's a lot that can be improved!

Spent the last week working on a prose version of a short screenplay I wrote a while back, and holy hell it's been fun!

Now onto proof-reading 😁 #scriptsky #writingcommunity

Astonishing number of MAGAs have become oncologists and urologist overnight.

Weird, huh?

Eldest lost her first tooth today. No idea where it went. She says she swallowed it.

Smart girl, mind, she made a card at school to act as proof for the tooth fairy πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

(Apologies for duplicate posting on Twitter if anyone is still part of that. Still have people there I like who haven't migrated πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ)
