38 today. Roll on 39 🍻

I think my cat's broken...

Bees for the win!

Garden wildflowers 🙂

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! #scriptsky #horror

My daughter's hair kicks ass

Oh no, looks like Twitter ain't working 😂😂😂😂

Sure Start centres saved UK government £2 for every £1 spent, study finds New Labour initiative created ‘remarkably long-lasting’ health and education improvements, says report and the Tories destroyed them www.theguardian.com/education/20...

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 🤷‍♂️ (Apologies for duplicate posting on Twitter if anyone is still part of that. Still have people there I like who haven't migrated 🤷‍♂️)

Holy hell. Forgot I'd submitted to this year's BBC Writers Room Open Call. Found out my script 'Immiscible' (since redrafted a gazillion times and renamed!) placed in the top 1% Today is a good day #scriptsky

So many talented people here, and so many ace stories. So much love for Ash and the team for their passion to promote great writers!

But seriously, option 3, right?

Check out my latest video on the early years of #Cleopatra. Discover her links to Alexander the Great, her dysfunctional family of the Ptolemies and the threat of an expanding Roman Empire. #AncientEgypt youtu.be/X1a0acTTXdY?...

Just bagged up a huge batch of slow-cooked silverside of beef pulled into a goulash. This has nothing to do with writing, medicine or film, but it tastes kick-ass 😁

Heart Eyes is one of the lost entertaining slashers I've seen since the original Scream. Big fan #scriptsky

Going through my phone to make space, came across the 'daughter trying to steal my beer' collection ❤️

Gonna miss Coverfly. Gonna miss the peer reviewing even more 😞 #scriptsky

Got a really talented friend making a documentary about road safety. As a doctor who's worked in orthopaedics, I've seen first-hand the consequences of dangerous drivers. If you could help out by answering a five minute questionnaire, that'd be awesome ❤️ forms.office.com/r/VKZEFsFbnf #scriptsky

Woke up today with a temperature of 39.6 and that horrible feeling that my skin is sandpaper. Hate being sick.

Staring down the final twenty off pages of my new script. Looking like it's going to be the fastest I've taken from nascence to first draft. All aboard the St. Christopher. It is not a happy boat 😂 #scriptsky

Another 1.2k words, bringing the total page count to 48 thus far, and another character brutally done away with. Life is good #scriptsky

New week, new me. Daily writing, better diet, exercise, no booze. Let's get this script cracked and try feeling more healthy. Day 1! #scriptsky

Past 400 views and up to 22 subscribers. Beyond thrilled. But I have great ambitions for this channel. Thank you to everyone who has watched so far and to @simondoyle87.bsky.social @dinamamousa.bsky.social and @sarabresciani31.bsky.social for your RTs.

So 'The Nightingale' is without a doubt the most emotionally difficult and compelling films I've seen. Blown away. #scriptsky

Hey everyone. Wonder if you'd consider supporting my fledgling Ancient Egypt YouTube channel? My latest video is on Anubis, the god of death, mummification and a guide to the underworld. youtu.be/61uPHZifhI0?...

This makes me insanely excited. The idea of a novel way of treating an age-old problem, especially something as poorly managed as chronic pain? Heck yeah www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Just replaced the word 'detritus' with the word 'mess' in my screenplay. Who even am I anymore? #scriptsky

So many talented people doing #screenpit tonight. Apologies for not being involved and struggling to retweet, family things are a bit hectic currently. But you want a good read, follow the hashtag! #scriptsky

So only three years late to the party, but M3GAN really was one hell of an entertaining film, huh? #scriptsky

World Book Day ❤️

“My Body, My Choice” Genre: Science Fiction Medium: Feature Screenplay Logline: After a pro-life politician is impregnated with botanical aliens, he has no choice but to carry the carnivorous creatures to term when #RoeVsWade is overturned.

So many amazing scripts to read here - will try to retweet (or repost? Re-bluesky?!) a few before I hit the sack. Massive congrats to all, and massive respect to @bradmjohnson.com and team for all the work they've clearly put into this #scriptsky

Finally got around to watching Children of Men for the first time Holy shit #scriptsky

The music from Frozen 2 is better than Frozen 1. Obviously the first is a superior film, but the music to the second rocks. #scriptsky

Just watched 'Imaginary'. Very odd film. Thought the initial concept was great, but it really veered around pretty wildly...

Horror questions - which do you think would be more frightening? You see the creepy beastie of the film coming at you, and you a) have no idea what it is or why it's coming at you b) you know the lore and didn't adequately read the signs? #scriptsky
