The #WIPSnips word for December 16th is “moist”

From the next novel : It’s Fine. What’s the worst that could happen?

Olivia is a little judgmental…

My favourite film is The Sure Thing, with @johncusack.bsky.social and Daphne Zuniga, directed by Rob Reiner. Public outpourings of sentimentality about people I barely know isn't really my thing. But this guy made films that defined my youth. The world will be a poorer place without him.

This #documentary, 12 years ago, is the reason I got into the Eels as a band. If you've never seen it and you're a fan, it's definitely worth a watch. And if you're a #science geek - ditto. His dad was a quantum physicist who first proposed the idea of Parallel Universes

For a book that is ostensibly a comedy, this is kind of an intense chapter

Word of the day is ‘smash’
Which I didn’t have, so we have ‘hit’ as a synonym

G'morning #WIPSnips! Here we have a snip from TLC Part 3, where some important people think Jennifer is really full of it while she's explaining the existence of TLC to them.

The #WIPSnips word for December 12th is SMASH.

Not been on for a while - the usual excuse - filming etc etc. Got a few Sips to read today. Excellent.

Mine's from Pandora's Secret once more

Saw this & thought, briefly, wish I had this level of confidence to put this on my LinkedIn summary
But I changed my mind. I look at that & think, Arrogant much? I'd never call myself distinguished in anything. That's up to others to decide
#writingcommunity - How good are you at promoting yourself?

Just because you get published, get reviews from famous authors & brilliant press reviews it doesn’t mean your book will sell. You have to do your own publicity, social media & marketing these days. (This isn’t my story but an author I know really well currently writing his 3rd book)
What’s something about the publishing world (indie, vanity, self-publishing, trad) that surprised you? Just how brutal it is in one way or another #writingq #WritingCommunity

As #Christmas draws closer so does the uptick of #phishing emails it seems. Yay. Tho these are pretty lame tbh but it’s easy to get caught out.
Remembers kids: Always check the email address it’s actually from & never click on a link in an email. #simples

It’s beginning to taste a lot like Christmas! 😜

If I ever make a film about someone who is addicted to Christmas, this item would feature heavily 😂

The #WIPSnips word for December 5th is "screen"

Not been able to take part for a while - work/filmy stuff took over - but have enjoyed catching up with everyone's snips!

I have 74 uses of screen in Pandora's Secret -- who knew!

One of the many reasons I don’t do football & given that 80% of the abuse is on X, yet another reason I’m glad I left that cesspit.

Football abuse: Premier League and WSL stars targeted by death and rape threats
More than 2,000 extremely abusive social media posts were sent about managers and players in the Premier League and Women's Super League in a single weekend, a BBC investigation finds.
