@hannahclealjones.bsky.social great to meet you!

I’m interested in why there aren’t intermissions for longer films - several bladders will thank the cinema owner who can also make more money from the concession stand…

There are 261 working days in 2025. If you write just 1 page a day, that’s just 250-300 wds a day, you can write 2 1/2 scripts or one novel by New Years Eve.

If you write just 2 pages a working day (600wds/day) you can write 5 scripts, 2 novels or one 150,000 word magnum opus.

Just. Keep. Writing.

High five! Here’s to your continuing to kick ass in 2025 :-)

Must be an antagonist thing

You have my guitar
And my guitar
And…
Shit we have a lot of guitars

Please say you do have a way that you do - otherwise all this is pointless

Upset was unavailable to see Sin Eater… sure you’ll advise if showing in London soon

Cushing’s old house is near me and for sale. Will be highly jealous of (and have much less purchasing power than) the lucky punter who gets it

@philpeel.bsky.social well hello there

Yes I’m religious. I believe in the Holy Trinity

@scriptcoach.bsky.social hello lovely man! Hope all is well with you

What is your writing soundtrack of the moment?

This week I will mainly be writing to the sound of Jon Hopkins

Show me your pet and what they were named after.

Optimist: the glass is half full

Pessimist: the glass is half empty

Exec: we already have a project that contains a glass in it so I am afraid it is a pass

Not my obstacles, not my character arc :/)

Writers love obstacles, right?

The energy I am bringing to 2025

It’s like “new car smell” but in this case labelled “prevailing kindness” :-)

@pjkave22.bsky.social how goes it?

Bravo

One day at a time. No stabby stabby please

So how is everybody today?

The part of your brain that creates is different from the part of your brain that interprets and edits, so when you edit while you write, you knock yourself out of your groove.

Write fearlessly then edit judiciously later, preferably with a break in between to gain perspective on the work.
