90% of writing happens away from the keyboard. In the shower. On a walk. In the car. Wherever you & your thoughts are alone together, that's when writing happens.

If you find yourself stuck, staring at a blinking cursor, unable to find the words, don't be afraid to step away & find somewhere quiet.

Bristol Old Vic Theatre School ceasing undergraduate training feels grim. We need more - not less - places to train our young actors that don’t involve the prohibitive cost of living in London. All that history, all that tradition. 😔

For no reason, I am just remembering a conversation I had with a director a few years ago. I asked him about one of his films and said, "Would you ever do a four-hour director's cut of it?"

He said, "No. I don't have secret four-hour cuts. My movies have scripts."

Back at the old place, I have a thread of Writer Assistant Rules. Thinking now might be the time to preserve them over here:
