Turned off replies because she knows that she’s doing absolutely nothing to support the TV and film industry freelancers and other workers. If she did, the BBC would be able to afford to have actors on that TARDIS set filming right now instead of it being in limbo #DoctorWho
"... this Government is putting arts, sport and music back at the heart of the curriculum."
@lisanandy said this last week. Today, more terrible news for the TV industry.
When is there going to be *action* to save what is left of creative industries for the next generation?

I spent a year working as a writer on Aaron Sorkin's show, The West Wing.
It was first class acting, directing and writing.
Here's what I learned:

This really spoke to me. Some time ago, writing stopped becoming fun for me because I became hyper paranoid about obeying the “rules”. Badly phrased feedback can do that to you, as some readers focus so much on technique at the expense of encouraging your creativity #writing
A tiny moment in ‘Daisy Jones and the Six’ triggered something and has changed my perception of my life in a significant way. There’s no chance the writer intended that, it was so small, but deeply authentic. Write your truths, they may change people in ways you won’t expect
I’m casting an amazing series for @KartoonStudios where #Roblox players from the U.K. will compete in new games!

That means knowing when to stop ‘picking holes’ on a quest for perfectionism that might destroy. Better to prioritise helping a writer move forward with some assistance than showing off one’s knowledge to the point where it hinders.

I once had feedback on a drama script that broke me, put me off writing for many years as I felt I had failed and my ability to tell stories was based on nothing but daft hope.

One of the things I’ve tried to do with my own script reading service is not only help writers with their next draft with feedback and ideas, but actively focus on encouraging and inspiring them so that confidence is boosted.

Just watched #Saltburn which was not what I expected, and delighted me at every turn. Outstanding performances by everyone, and writer/director Emerald Fennell is an expert at the slow burn. One of those movies where I was glad to go in spoiler free. (Richard E Grant too 👌❤️)
Here we go.
With love to all my TV industry friends and colleagues who are struggling right now. I hope this offers some hope, or at least makes you smile :)
