Industry tea for #comedy writers from @wftv-uk.bsky.social Christina Pickworth (Imagine Talent) & @morwennagordon.bsky.social Bad news: Buyers playing safe, other genres are hotter now. Good: UK’s warming to writers' rooms & comedy has the long tail. When it hits, it runs. #screenwriting #tvwriting

Inspired by the ingenuity and talent of #NoahDavis. Wonderful artist, gone too soon. Made a museum of art from everyday items when the establishment turned him down. My learning? Stick to your vision. #BarbicanCentre #holdtheline #artistinspiration #builditandtheywillcome

Hands down, one of the most rewarding parts of writing is… procrastination. Gifted at elaborate distraction, I’ve made it an art form. It takes fortitude to face a blank page and even more to walk away… for a second coffee. Now I’ve written this post, I’ve earned it. Veeeery good!

Dear Mr. Chatterton, 146 years after “Shakespeare Spelt Ruin,” Jamie Lloyd’s Much Ado is doing a roaring trade for the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and it’s a corker! All’s Well That Ends Well! #MuchAdoAboutNothing #Shakespeare

Picked up this nugget from London Screenwriters' Festival at Steve Kaplan’s session The Comic Hero’s Journey. When a reader or exec notes “faster, louder, funnier,” they really mean they're not connecting with the character or the world. Brings a new dimension to rewriting. @skcomedy.bsky.social

As a producer/production manager, I’m all about order and efficiency. As a writer? That mindset kills the fun. Nothing worse than a great idea followed by a mental list of why it won’t work. Here’s my challenge: Channel John Cleese. Play first. Judge later. #johncleese
