If anyone is trying to go to LAX tonight- this is the worst traffic I’ve seen in a long time at the airport

Last night my short play ‘Hello in There’ went up as part of PlaygroundLA’s best of series and as amazing as it was to see my work live alongside 5 others, even more cup filling was having ten friends come out. It really is the community behind you that keeps you up and going. #theatre #community

Now that the panic has worn off a little I can share that when I evacuated from the Sunset fire in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (I live 500m from Runyon canyon) I grabbed all my library books - because in my brain I didn’t want to get in trouble/deal with the fines

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

What TV shows are people watching right now? And how many do you have in rotation at once. Me? This is the most random assortment - Silo, Dune Prophecy, s4 of Abbot Elementary, Rivals, Great British Bake-off and… The Floor. Different tones of show depending on vibe. What you got on your roster?

My two biggest complaints about TV scripts from new/emerging writers

One is choreography on the page. You need to know where people are, where they are going, when they enter. You have to tell the reader enough to picture the scene in your head.

I can’t believe this little rat boy foster of mine hasn’t been snapped up and adopted! Do you live in LA and need a scruffy new family member? #istandwithmypack can help you! Zoomies are definitely included

After a tricky year of very inconsistent work, my partner has THREE contract gigs for editing work right now. I know we hear the holiday slowdown etc etc, but this plus the flurry of spec script sales has given me… what is this feeling… hope??? ✨✨ #filmsky

I had a nightmare that I was interviewing for a new job, and wasn’t doing a well explaining my experience. Where are the fun flying dreams? The Willy Wonka type shit? Why corporate America gotta take over my unconscious hours too?

Read this book in one sitting - what a delight! #booksky

If anyone in LA is thinking they want a new puppy for Christmas - may I remind you to check the shelters versus going to a breeder? The LA shelters are drowning in dogs, even high end breeds! Don’t support backyard breeders. And if anyone is looking for a goof - I have this floof as a foster!

This year has been so weird and awful, but the silver lining has been the people who’ve been in the same boat, coming together to collaborate on projects. I’m watching this space hopefully for the flowers that grow from the seeds sown in times of uncertainty

The hardest part of joining bluesky was finding the same profile pic from the other place in my camera roll so my online friends can find me
