I’m writing everything I’m envisioning for a better world
currently I’m drafting posts to begin to self-publish in January…I finished a fairytale-esque memoir piece and my first book of poetry! I also am revising the latest and possibly last draft of my first screenplay, a queer folk horror homage on a mysterious Cornish island…it has an elderly lesbian couple, a polycule on vacation, a cute enby with a cute boat, blue liquid in the basement of a spooky ancestral home, and organ-harvesting vampires 🩵✨ gives me hope bwahahahaha
We just re-watched Slings & Arrows, which is an old Canadian show about a Shakespeare Festival. Have been making lots of giant pots of broth that I can sip throughout the week, or use for quick dinners, and giant platters of stuff like lasagna to keep us going. I'm writing and trying to sell a show, but everything feels fake and distorted. Gonna re-read some Anne of Green Gables, to try and generate some childlike wonder, and decided to take up cross-stitching.
You know, it's funny-- I still haven't read Anne of Green Gables. What makes you go back to it during these times?
Do you have any other crafts? Or can you take a nice, meditative walk (if it's not too cold outside?) I find my favourite way of cultivating wonder is just by slowly walking around and saying hi to all the plant and animal friends I can.
Re: Writing and selling your show-- I hope you take breaks when your body tells you to. It's almost futile right now to give anyone else that advice or to tell people to push through when we really should be resting, but I hope you manage to get it out eventually. If your body says 'pause,' though, I hope you can manage to move slower.

I am painting with a passion to block the world out at the moment for my mental health.
It doesn't seem to want to let me post a picture 🤷♀️ isn't usually a problem!
Oh no! Send it to me over DM if you'd like :-) Would love to see it
