Henry I's mother was Matilda of Flanders, his first wife Matilda of Scotland; he had three illegitimate daughters called Matilda, as was his legitimate daughter. After William's son died on the White Ship, he made Matilda his heir, but her cousin Stephen took the crown; his wife was another Matilda.
On this day in 1120, the White Ship sank en route from Barfleur to Southampton. William Ætheling, King Henry I’s only legitimate son and heir to the throne, drowned whilst trying to save his half-sister, Matilda of Perche, who also perished.

People who pirate books: “I just think art and literature should be FREE to everyone!”
Yes, I too would love to live in a world where art is accessible freely to all and yet artists are paid a living wage, but as this magical wagical pixie wixie land does not exist, please don’t steal from us.

I’d rather be honest with you than try to compete with big brands.

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

It also fails to address the awy marginalized writers are being largely left out of spec purchasing right now altogether. And that for many of us, spec purchasing is not a bridge to a career as a TV writer. Writers rooms are. We need that opening. We need that experience.

And look, I get it. I have many many times been the writer saying "just write" "have your specs ready" "write and write and write" but right now, in the current state of the industry, repeating that insistence over and over to a DROWNING generation of young writers is super unfair.

Said with love but there is a tone deafness in the "just write your spec!" advice that seems to be totally ignored in the current climate.
It works if you're repped. If reps are taking new clients. If places are buying A LOT. If rooms are staffing unknowns/lower levels. If not? It's a platitude.

This constant relitigating of whether Farage/Trump/etc are racists is exhausting given the overwhelming weight of evidence.
It reaffirms the Toni Morrison quote on the function of racism - to tire out everyone on having to prove & re-prove the 'if' at the expense of consequences. He is. So now what?

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.

Today marks the first anniversary since I lost my ‘breast friend.’ She was very poorly with cancer and had to go so that I may be here. Had never felt more petrified or vulnerable in my entire life. The past 12-15 months have been incredibly hard. Today I’m alive and smiling. #BreastCancer 👍 ❤️
