I am doing some of that acting. I could cry with joy. This, I think, is going to be good. Really good. Come and see it. Me having a breakdown is almost guaranteed.

Writing tips: The writing pattern that works for me atm: write 1 000 words in the morning, revise them in the afternoon. If your time is limited: 100 words on morning commute/break, revise afternoon break/evening commute. 100 words a day will soon add up if you do it every day !
