Nothing to see here, just 700GB of footage being backed up (legit might buy another drive just as a backup backup)

Had to make the pilgrimage while I was in the area - if you know, you know...

Photo of me from the shoot today holding the coolest thing I have ever held in my life - unfortunately you will just have to guess what it is but rest assured it is an artefact that has enamoured me for the best part of a decade, which has the most incredible story behind it.

I won a game of Werewolf once. It was, to be fair, a very good win.

I don't usually do this - however! It is awards nomination season and I am particularly proud of When I Say Run, so why not shoot my shot. If you enjoyed this story, it is eligible for short story and audio story nominations and I would be honoured if anyone were to put it forward.

Off to see myself at the cinema! (And also Brides. Which I have heard nothing but great things about.)

This is a CAPTCHA I just got. I cannot believe this is the extent we have to go to these days to fool bots. I'm absolutely perplexed and I'm a human! (I think.)

If I ever doubt myself as a writer in future, I think I will remind myself that Mario Puzo, author and screenwriter of The Godfather, once penned this masterpiece.

Bought a sausage sandwich to fuel the morning's idea generation. The bread to filling ratio leaves something to be desired.

Can't decide if I should watch Doctor Who in the morning on my laptop or unplug the internet and wait until the unknown time in the afternoon when the new TV will be delivered

Official government response to a parliamentary petition about trans rights, I'll let the dead-eyed lies about the glories of Wes Streeting speak for themselves

Sheer poetry, dear boy.

This is such a fab sets to be a part of – because not only does it feature two of my friends, Daniel Hardcastle and Chris Markham, I also got to meet two of the other writers, Riley Silverman and Paul Booth, at Gallifrey One! And they are also now friends, woohoo!

Also bonus Patrick Ross!

I’ve written more Doctor Who!

In 2023 I emailed the lovely @anghelides.bsky.social and asked him how he’d feel about a story starring… YOU.

‘When I Say Run…’ is part of Short Trips Volume 13, a brand new anthology of Doctor Who short stories! Find out more here: www.bigfinish.com/news/v/new-s...

Gallifrey One so far:
- Wish fulfillment
- Want to be a guest again if only for the rad sandwiches
- You Only Die Twice in the wild
- The first(?) IRL meeting of Paul Spragg winners, myself and the awesome @patrick-ross.bsky.social
- (No pic) Panel fighting to the death over which TARDIS is best
