1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.
Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀

Writing anything down that you find interesting for your screenwriting isn't just about remembering it.
It helps train your mind to see the world through that lens.
Is this a story? A moment? A character?
You'll start asking this out of habit.

Oh!!!
For folk magic is often a serious of fragile truces with the land, a series of appeasements made to nature’s legion of spirits. The cunning folk are diplomats to enfolding otherworlds. Few in the Foreign Office could match their skill. - Dr. M. Benn, 1981 lecture at Woden College, Weychester

This haunted doll is part of the DARK SECRETS ESOTERIC EXHIBITION in Waterloo Vaults, London until next May.
The room has cards pinned to the wall for you to record any messages you feel the doll gives you.
I did not get a message. But will you get one, and what is it?
