Getting back into writing is always difficult for me when it gets put on the back-burner due to life getting in the way.
I'm finally getting to a good place with it though and just need to work on my routine 💪

What routines or motivations do you have for getting the thing done? 👀

Today will be my 25th visit to the gym since I posted this 💪🙈🎉

All progress is progress.

Small steps eventually lead to great distances.

Never be discouraged.

Be proud of any achievement or milestone, regardless of how insignificant you think it may be 💜

I lived LITERALLY nextdoor to a gym for 2 years ('17/18'). I got a membership the day I moved in but never actually went into it 🙈
Last week, I joined a gym again. This time, with the intention of actually making it in the front door. My ADHD already seems to have other ideas again 🙄🤦‍♀️😅 #TheStruggle

We got a new floof! You didn't need to know this, but I thought a photo of her lil face might help to brighten up your day 💜

Did I do the stereotypical queer thing of watching a show like 'No Good Deed' because Kate Moennig was in it? Yes, yes I did. 🤦‍♀️😅
We love the representation though 🙈 (also shoutout to Liz Feldman 💜).

Job hunting these days is rough. I'm also at a point in life where I'm thinking 'do I pursue the dream job/dream job-adjacent role, or do I just take what I can get, and risk being in the same position in 5 years time?' 🫤

Being able to splurge on brand-name coffee again would be class though 🤔😅

Screenwriters! What are your go-to approaches for starting a script? Sometimes I'll have the majority of a full story; middle and end - but can never figure out the best way to start it, so I often find myself writing backwards 🤦‍♀️ Please tell me I'm not the only one? 🙈😂

Oh! And in other news; I'm finalising the order for my wedding dress today! 🎉🥹

My job was made redundant in Sept & I have spent every day since writing cover letters, applying for jobs, doing courses & generally being quite hard on myself.

Today, I am taking a day off to be kind to myself.
Sitting here with coffee & a blanket, and looking for a movie to watch 🥰 #SelfCare

Watched 'Hot Frosty' on Netflix this week, and let me tell you; what a rollercoaster! 😅 If you like predictable movies that rehash old Christmas storylines, then this is the film for you! It falls into the 'so bad it's actually brilliant' category and I'm only semi-ashamed to say I kinda loved it 🙈😂

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

And if that hot actor is 30+ years older than you, you're a cinephile with daddy issues; according to my therapist 🤷‍♀️😂
you're not a real cinephile if you haven't at least once, thrist watched a shitty movie for a hot actor you're a fan of.

Well that was unnecessarily harsh Duolingo.

True, but harsh.

And this folks, is why it takes me an age to write a screenplay 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️😂
Other ppl tellin a story: It was all blue.

Me tellin a story: A little guy that lives in a blue world and all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue like him inside and outside. Blue his house with a blue little window and a blue corvette and everything is blue for him and himself...

Loved this loads! Cillian Murphy's performance was so strong from the off (and perfectly portrayed every old-school Irish dad ever); the man can do no wrong. The message is so important, so it may be a difficult watch but a worthwhile one. 4/5 stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As part of our anniversary this week, my fiancé is bringing me on a lil cinema date to see 'Small Things Like These' because she read reviews (which she started doing because I was such a lil film nerd 😂) & said "it's supposedly dark and depressing af" as her reason.

I'm marrying my perfect woman 😂

Will also throw it out there that I'm open to book recs too! 👀 - Film/TV/writing/old Hollywood-related, funny ones, or anything that's a bit queer tbh 🤷‍♀️😂

#CurrentlyReading 'Directed by James Burrows' (by James Burrows). Also listening to a Lauren Graham audiobook at the mo (GG & just love her) 💜😊

Recs for podcasts that run alongside sitcoms/TV shows please? I used to love Kevin Smith's 'Talk Salad and Scrambled Eggs', and I know Scott Patterson has 'I Am All In' based on the Gilmore Girls - any others would be much appreciated! 🙌👀
