Asked my mum to send me some pics of my childhood doll house and it turns out she is some sort of horror cinematographer 😬😱😅

Such an honour to be part of this cohort, and to write alongside the best new talent in the biz ❤️

@Edd_Power Ah no, saving the giraffes for the novel

So excited to have a story selected for this year's National Flash Fiction Day anthology ❤️🐸 And in such good company too! I can't wait to read the other stories

@JFACasey Hahah! My partner was like aw that's so mean, and I'm sat there thinking literally me 😂

So another day, another article about the lack of working class folk in the arts. Another call for outreach and mentorship Well I say FUCK THAT There is no aspiration gap There is no need to show WC people what’s ‘possible’ There is simply a practicality gap A money gap

we've lost an artist. that feels scary in this day and age. thank you for letting us into your dreams. if an alien came down to planet earth, this is what you'd show. art of the human senses. sight, sound, imagination. his language needed no explanation it spoke in emotion

@spaniyell I couldn't help myself but watch the whole trailer. But no more information from now on!

@mickeypip I had to click off the trailer for S2, too much information!

TFW you rewatch Severance in anticipation of S2 and it's so perfect you realise you probably shouldn't be trying to write telly, or anything at all really, and you put all your silly stories in the bin.

Severance and Nosferatu are really under a lot of pressure to get my 2025 off to a good start.

The #FestivalofLibraries has scooped a prestigious Manchester Culture Award in the Best Event category over the weekend! A huge congratulations to all GM's libraries and the many literary orgs that were also recognised at the #MCRCultureAwards. manchestercityofliterature.com/news/festival-…

LOVED this episode ❤️ Two of my favourite women, some nostalgia for home (I'm also a Bolton lass) and lots of laughs. Also felt that bit about the false promises of 1997 in my bones. Have a listen!

@Edd_Power 😂 no custom orders 🚫 🦒

@ecossefilmmaker I've just seen they offer concession rates, so I'm going to ask about those before I name 😅 But there have been a few events across TV, games and immersive media this year that I just couldn't afford😬

@mickeypip Any conference in particular?

TFW you see creative conferences talking about "fairer economic growth" then charging £400+ a ticket.

Wonderful opportunity with @MCRCityofLit here 👇🏻 Having recently joined the board as a trustee, I can tell you it's an exciting time to join a brilliant bunch of people doing fantastic work! Deadline 14th Oct 📚❤️

@zoethorogood I'm so sorry for your loss ❤️

Yesterday my brother took his own life. He was 23 years old and the kindest boy who ever lived. Please read this and check on the young men in your life. You are loved, and never alone. My heart is broken.

Very excited for this ❤️ @alicelowe is sincerely one of most unique voices we have

I really can't understate how important PLAY and PERSEVERANCE are to my writing practice. One frees me from the tyranny and terror of the blank page, the other reminds me to stick at it even when it (inevitably) gets bloody difficult! I love writing, but we all have tricky days.

Here are two pieces of writing advice that I have stuck on visible post-it notes at all times – both from @TimClarePoet's fantastic writing podcasts... 1. Piss about in purpose of serendipity. 2. Stay in the trouble you're in.
