I keep coming back to this song. Always taps into the sauntering sonder part of my brain. The whole album and its successors really remoulded that side to my taste in music www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn7H...

The 1st of 2 blog posts. A very deeply rooted, deeply thoughtful blog post that has been influenced by the most recent of news. I try to not let current affairs ruffle my feathers too much, but you'll see what I mean if you decide to give it a read - jcfilmmaker.substack.com/p/immoderate

Feeling nostalgic for when YouTube used to award you trophies and medals for popular and well-liked content in your respective videos genre and category. They would sit on your front profile page. I used to make short comedy sketches, and remember earning some, despite my output being terrible. 😂🏆

Wondering how many working writers were told at a young age by somebody, somewhere, that they were good at this, and what a privilege that is.

If nobody mentions your worldview is unique, interesting or funny, how will you find the confidence to write it all down? Or have the faith to even begin?

Deep breath, lads.

In response to the proposed government disability cuts, I wrote a piece about my life before The Daily Tism (it includes a PIP assessment, a mental health crisis and iced Madeira cake). We’ll fight this with everything we’ve got.

#TakingThePip
I’m an autistic writer who is finally working. Without PIP, I wouldn’t have had a chance
How do you explain a PIP assessment to somebody who’s never had one?

Pleased to announce a new project, stemming from my hometown of Basildon!

It's a Short Abstract Freeform Poem Film that I Wrote and Edited, entitled "Find Your Feet" as part of The Estuary Anthology

I'd never wrote freeform before, so it was an amazing opportunity to try. 1/2
