I need to finish ten pages today so I’ve cleaned my desk, made a Niçoise salad, and responded to several outstanding emails. Avoiding writing is the greatest motivator…

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

I can’t be the first person to clock this, but I always felt like there was a skills regression across the population in IDIOCRACY (amazing film- watch it if you haven’t) that didn’t make sense. Then AI came along. NOW it all makes sense…

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

What a successful day! I completed 30 (!) pages & went on a walk to find 2 huge sheets of Perspex by the road- exactly the size I need to finish a prop. Like a little reward from the Universe! (Also- what were these used for before do you reckon? Animal Tank? Plant growing? Answers on a post card!)
Two huge pieces of Perspex lean against a wall, exactly the kind which could be useful in finishing a creative project.

I was walking to the train station when this lone gentleman approached me and boofed, which I took to mean he needed assistance. With no collar but a confident attitude he followed me while I knocked on several doors until we found his Dad- apparently my new friend is an escape artist!

Hey Filmmakers! The world’s on fire and another incredible actor has shifted from our mortal plane, but despite it all we persevere. What are you doing today to get closer to maybe one day sharing your story with an audience? I’m writing then producer hunting- goal is 20 pages before meetings!

So folks wanted to know what the Nondē (pronounced NON-dee) movement is and how it might be what we need to rebuild the broken infrastructure of film distribution that sees indie filmmakers struggling to make ends meet. First things first- Nondē is short for non-dependent. But non-dependent on what?

Well, there are a few of you out there, certainly! Im wondering what topic folks over here might be most interested in talking about… 1- how to finish personal projects in a world of distractions (I’m wrapping post on a short and there is a documentary that badly needs finishing on my hard drive!)

Not all billionaires… just the richest ones. The world must stop idolising them & admit that their money is stolen from the poorest & most vulnerable people. It’s robbed from our shared Mother Earth and hoarded by trolls. This kind of wealth is not possible without inhuman levels of selfishness.

Guys! Guys. I don’t want to get anyone too alarmed but there are TWO FROGS this morning. At this rate it will take about a month before there are more frogs than people on the planet. I for one welcome our frog overlords.
Two frogs poke their heads out of the pond water, surrounded by reeds and duck weed. It looks as though the frogs are stacked one on top of the other.

Dear American friends, some helpful & free advice 🤔- If you're horrified by your current regime & desperately seek to change it, manifest resistance in your daily lives. Don't comply. Follow your own informed advice, but stay engaged as well. Authoritarians desperately want you to tune out.

I know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

If you have accessibility needs that limit your ability to participate in the boycott, try making your purchases today or Saturday so you can avoid making them on the Friday. I’m having to do that in one instance myself! Do the doable. Perfection isn’t necessary to send a message.
