I like to create eccentric characters getting up to whacky shennangicans in fantastical worlds.

One of my favourite episodes of Doctor Who is The Waters of Mars, and I can't help shake the feeling that Mrs Flood is somehow connected to The Flood.

I think President Trump gave the patient ivermectin and then injected the patient with bleach.

I can't decide if I want to submit my new feature script to the Mega-Ultimate-Hollywood-Cannes-International-Accept-Any-Screenplay-Competition. I hear the digital certificates are nice and they announce winners every three hours!

I have 2 directors looking for low budget horror features.

We are looking for something sexy/comical.

Or a thriller with a great twist.

If you have something done in these genres. Please send me your loglines.

I've a couole of short films on Amazon Prime I wrote and produced myself which provide me a steady income. Why, just this month this multi-billion corporation paid me 0.55 whole pence into my bank account.

This is how trickle doen economics works.

Nothing makes me want to part with my hard-earned cash more than a screenwriting competition that boasts it is an IMDB Qualifying event. #scriptsky

Zelensky is fighting for his life and for everyone in his country against a brutal invading force and Trump & Vance just ganged up on him like schoolyard bullies in the oval office in front of the whole world. The message, if you get invaded, surrender.

This one hits hard. Gene Hackman was a phenomenal actor in some of the best roles on the silver screen.

My favourite of his amazing performances is one I believe is vastly underrated, when he starred as Avery Tolar in The Firm with Tom Cruise.

Episode 7 of Paradise is the greatest episode of TV I've seen in years. I highly recommend this show.

I don't normally enjoy prequels but Dexter: Original Sin is superb. A great storyline and a stella cast which matches the vibe of the original show perfectly.

Musk has adopted the megalomaniac Bond villain persona so completely, it would not surprise me if Trump had a mysterious tragic accident and Musk just took over with an army of robots.

Just watched The Killing Game on Amazon Prime. They missed a trick there. They should have called it Kill Bautista.

There's flooding in California. Can someone ask Trump to send in the troops to turn the water back off?

There's a storm hitting the UK today called Herminia which sounds like it came from a Harry Potter book ordered via Temu.

It does amaze me how billionaires and millionaires who control 98-99% of all wealth persuade the majority of us that poor people are the problem.

Microsoft have incorporated Copilot into Outlook, Word etc. It pops up all the time like old annoying Clippy. "Oh, do you want me to write that for you?" AI is becoming like Autotune is in the music industry - most singers use it in the studio, it's just how much they turn up the dial. #scriptsky

I watched the last episode of Skeleton Crew last night and (SPOILERS AHEAD) I was convinced it would be revealed that At Attin was a secret facility which financed the Empire. Alas no. A pity, as that would have explained how the Empire/First Order can afford to operate. #StarWars

My word for 2025 is SWITCH. It is the name of my new screenplay which I finished yesterday and seems apt. I'm fed up with this run of bad luck it's time to flip the switch and make great things happen - starting with the best script I've ever written!

I've eaten and apple and a pear today. If this doesn't get me on the New Year's honours list, nothing will.
