Happy Christmas Adam (the day before Christmas Eve)! Have fixed some scenes in a pilot, been for a walk, got a hot chocolate at the indie cinema's very nice cafe-bar, and now back to fixing some more scenes... #awriterslifeforme

It's a good day to be starting a new feature spec... #awriterslifeforme
Another spec script deal announced today which brings the August total to 8. That is the highest number of monthly spec script deals since March 2017. It feels like there's something going on in the spec market. Will this upswing in deals continue through the rest of the year? #screenwriting
