Every nonsense moment of pantomime drama in #cobrakaiseason6 was worth it for that final tag battle in episode 9. 🔥🔥

Went on a weird #ImACelebity wiki dive last night…and caught this on Oti’s Wiki page. It was rectified almost instantly..but…just…why?

Back on here sporadically, useful to drop DM's to people and source jobs and opportunities, but gonna be limiting my time for the foreseeable. Hope you all had a good Christmas, and have an appropriately mad New Year!

It's unfathomable to me that with amount of people working on #silo - no one thought to actually make Rebecca Fergusons hair match the end of season 1.

Just a gentle reminder to industry 'gatekeepers' - if you've offered out follow up feedback/notes to a candidate/writer then follow through with them. The industry has been hard enough the last 18 months without peoples emotions/mental health/time being messed about with more.

tvzoneuk.com/post/extraordi… Absolutely outrageous decision. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this utter slice of delight, and shame upon the houses of those who've let it go. #extraordinary

My interpretation of Andy, from Stephen King ‘s #TheDarkTower. Had a lot of fun with this and super happy with the result. A mix of AI prompts, imagination, and texture study.

Here's something unusual, in about 70% of scripts I read - writers usually spell 'breathe' as 'breath.' One of those strange things that happens way more than it should.

A real shame Coverfly have discontinued their CoverflyX service. Aa invaluable source of (sometimes) objective feedback for those aspiring writers unable to afford constantly paying out for notes and coverage.

Just going through my spreadsheet of production companies contacted this year. 35 companies. Aside from one - guess how many responded? Even with a 'no thank you.' Zero. I can take a no, but ignoring is not helpful. Can we please normalise just a polite 'no' template at least?

I think that I’ve legitimately only been able to keep writing because of these wonderful people. Here’s to another five years!

Got longlisted for the Channel 4 New Writers Scheme. Top 10%. With a script an exec once claimed had a protagonist who ‘showed no realistic human behaviour.’ The same script also got the top 30% of another scheme earlier this year. Just wanted to put this here. Congrats to me
