From a #screenplay I wrote last year that is in pre-production and looking for finance at the moment, called 'It's Fine. What's the worst that could happen?'

The Woman (she has no name in this piece for a reason) isn't great at asking questions.
The Woman starts mouth-to-mouth. She alternates between breathing in and pumping the Teenage Girl's chest. Mouthing a song as she pumps away rapidly. Nothing happens. The Teenage Girl doesn't wake up. The Woman doesn't stop. She keeps going with CPR. Everyone is still watching. Frozen in place. Then the Woman shouts. THE WOMAN Someone... any one of you asshats, just watching? Call an ambulance!

The #WIPSnips word for February 13th is "serious"

From Pandora's Secret once more

Anderson's cat is named after the cowboy's horse from a book I used to love to read to my daughter when she was much younger, The Diabolical Mr Tiddles by Tom McLaughlin

She quickly found one about buying a puppy, though Alan would seriously object, and it might put a dampener on any holiday plans, not that she ever actually took any. Still, it would pass at least some of the six-hour flight time to Costa Rica.

From Pandora's Secret - Rourke vs the phone call
#WriteSky #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity
The paramedic held the phone out toward General Rourke. ‘For you, sir.’ ‘Me?’ ‘Yes, sir. It’s the Secretary of Defense.’ ‘Right.’ Rourke took the black oblong out of the man’s hand. ‘And the President, Sir.’ ‘Maybe lead with that, next time.’

Bought a new desk pen holder thing (technical term that)- a spinning around one - and seeing all my dust-covered pens in it gives me a disproportionate amount of joy... 🤦

#writingcommunity #BookSky #authorchat #WriteSky what silly little thing has given you pleasure this week? 😁

Hmm, ok, probably a word for it - when you see an oboss from an old work life appear in the BBC news headlines and not for a good reason...

As for the article - no comment.

I was lucky enough to work on Wuthering Heights last March, on a freezing-cold day when we filmed in a National Trust park. All I remember about the time was a) it was just bloody cold out b) the heater in one of the trailers broke c) makeup started at 4 am for all the extras.

Filmmaking - So glam

The #WIPSnips word for February 10th is "liquid"

From Pandora's Secret

Anderson vs time

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
The large glass was so cold that the amber liquid had ice shards in it, and she couldn't taste the beer. Tho that seemed to be a good thing. From the close tables around her, she could pick out snippets of American voices talking about how cool the ice was. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Trying to relax and pass the time, ‘just being’, as the in-flight magazine had also encouraged her to do. Frankly, it felt like hell. She never took baths for the same reason. Why would you waste so much time doing nothing? She had four-minute showers. Six if she was washing her hair.

Working on a rewrite of a #play - about what is it ok to do to ensure the survival of the many.

Skybridge
In a future where air travel is banned, 5 workers on Skybridge, 58,000 feet in the air, miraculously survive a bridge strike - and that's the problem.

Rourke vs the missile
#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
‘Clear the vehicle, Ted! Get out. Get out, now!’ He shouted into the radio. He spun around to look for the missile’s return path, shouting the same instruction into his mic repeatedly. Then he saw the streak in the sky. Dropping, like a stone, straight towards the limo and its now opening doors. He emptied his entire magazine at it. But he wasn’t born that lucky.

And yes, that's true because laws, when first created, were more often than not created by religious leaders for a mixture of different reasons - from control to reassurance

Anderson vs London's wannabe skyscrapers

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
Anderson sat on the visitors’ side of the large, black desk in the big private office at the top of an all-glass skyscraper. That design style seemed to be all the rage among architects these days. Except they were in London, England. Which didn’t do skyscrapers justice, compared to any in New York, or even to the Eiffel Tower, which wasn’t that tall anyway.

I reckon your could make a novel out of random forgotten notes on your phone.

I have no idea what this one’s about or why I wrote it down & I’m sure it made sense at the time…

This is going into a novel 😜 - not sure why or where but little quirks make a character real I recon.

Pandora’s Secret #Q #AG #A #T
When a suspended Secret Service agent saves a journalist from a mass‑casualty public shooting, the two women are thrust into a conspiracy that began with a presidential cover-up twenty-six years earlier — and a truth that could bring down governments.

Younger Rourke vs the bully

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts
And that’s when the bullying stopped, and Rourke learnt an important thing about himself. There was, obviously, unknown to him, a line somewhere that marked where tolerance of something became a straight no. The fact that Julian was on the floor, clutching his testicles and groaning, suggested the bully had crossed it.
