Sneak peek from #NoirAtTheBar - I shared the brief outline first, before reading the first page of my novel. ✍🏻
Full reading over on my insta stories - although not for much longer… 😂

What a night at the theatre seeing @Paradi5eLibrary shine like the star she is in her own show The House She Built 🌹
Get to Northampton and the Black Diamond and see a wild show full of old glamour, high drama and a good dose of unhinged antics!
Go go go!

Just a casual Monday rehearsal… 🖤
Considering we have 6+ weeks, it’s already in a decent shape & everyone pretty much off book - just think how amazing it will be as we finesse! 🥹

Got home at 4am after a friend’s birthday but still managed to get up and clear the garden (and plant some flowers) so I can now sit here and read. 💖
What’s everyone reading? 📖

Absolutely loved The Jonathan Larson Project last night @swkplay - such great energy from the cast and wonderful to hear so many of his songs. 🎶
I’d only heard two of them before and the whole production was brilliant. 🎭

Soo @lilyallen was incredible!
Short and sweet… lack of trains was less fun but should be home before 3am 😬

Is reading a novel more personal than watching a tv adaptation?
Panel argue that watching TV is more of a communal experience and that you need your imagination when you reading because characters are then the reader’s interpretation...

From screen writing to novels and back again - what are the similarities?
Interesting discussion about plot vs character…

Great question about celebrities writing books and not acknowledging their ghost writers… ✍🏻
Long story short: They absolutely should. 👏🏻

Love a time slip story… both of these books sound excellent!
Managing multiple timelines is very tricky but if your characters are strong enough the reader will still come on the journey with you.

Let’s go @CapitalCrime1 - first panel: ‘realities of the publishing industry’ comparing writing a novel to acting!
As someone who does both I fully agree - both need character development, imagination & a thick skin! 🎭 ✍🏻

Just got to the station to find @ApcoaLtd has decided off peak isn’t until after 5pm! That’s an extra £8 a day on top of the train fare, which is outrageous 😤 this is why people drive everywhere…
