Drop me a DM and I'll fire it your way. Send on yours whenever's good for you, would love to give it a read π
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? π
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 π
Ain't it just. And the music is superb

Guess it's time to play the first game for the first time π
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!
