The joys of writing with ADHD: choosing my next spec project to write. I listed all of my ideas. Then I narrowed it down to ideas that I've worked on meaningfully, so I know there's a film in there. That fit my voice and say something that I want to say. That left me with 30. #scriptsky 1/2

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

You know when you have lots of ideas, and they fizzle out? And then before bed you have an idea that's made of all those ideas and is inspired by a comic book from 26 years ago? And a film you loved from 19 years ago? And next morning you share it and your mates go YES? That feeling? #scriptsky

Many years ago, when I first started writing for The Dark Side (Britain's oldest horror mag) we had a bit of a friendly pub quiz rivalry with Empire magazine for a while. We kept losing though. Until one week we discovered a secret weapon. /1

A week ago I drew up a list of my favourite horror films and identified some themes and commonalities amongst them. I asked myself why I love them. And I let that sit for a while, and now I've got a synopsis for a new film that I fekking love. Loved this approach - big recommend! #scriptsky

I'm very happy that our constituency sent four Plaid MSs to the Senedd yesterday. We've got some true flag-shagging towns at the Eastern edge, but it literally spans the entire country, so thank you Caernarfon, Mach and the Llŷn Peninsula!! #Senedd26

this is really extraordinary and it contains all of those things about guitar delta blues that seemed to be missed especially by white imitators: the approach to meter is as weird and complex as j dilla, and the approach to harmony so divorced from western hegemony as to sound avant garde

In 2025, I wrote two short films. I planned and outlined loads, but nothing got past the start line. There are good reasons for this, and I don't feel bad about it. But some of those reasons are no longer there, and I'm buzzing to get something new written. #scriptsky
