If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Tad chilly on the North Oxford this morning, but the sun looks like it will burn off the fog and turn the canal back to liquid as the day progresses.

Have never seen such a lovely secret Santa though. The deal was "make, bake or upcycle". As everyone in the Product design Dpt makes beautiful things, there were amazing gifts.

Read it on a small phone screen, zoomed in and scrolling so you can’t see the future boxes until they’re due.
Also beware that this somehow causes tiny pieces of grit to flake off the screen and get in your eyes.

Going through some old digital photos, came across this gem quote from David Fincher, about surviving the movie business and getting stuff made.
Think this tenacity and perseverance also works for screenwriters as much as directors.

Buy Lev's books for Christmas. Or for any other reason. They are very good indeed.
Every year I stop myself from posting “now look here you lot, my books would make an excellent Christmas present” in October because it’s way too early, and then I forget until it’s way too late.
Hope I’ve hit the sweet spot this time.

Books are great Christmas presents.
Easy to wrap.
Low in calories.
Usually somewhere in that not terrible £10-£20 bracket.
Available in many colours.
Can be posted easily (unlike a hoover or two hoovers for example)
Personal to both you and the recipient.
Available to buy from me.

There’s nothing like a circle of women who want the best for each other. Women who strategize. Women who mediate between one another and manipulate the world with a unified, equitable objective. You were probably taught that this isn’t our nature. Society stole that from you. We are the best at it.
