Down at @club85 , listening to The Concierge ( linktr.ee/theconcierge ) (awesome live music - came for The Bad Gamble, stayed for the rest) ... is...is that @wilw on bass?! 😁 (honestly, a compliment for all concerned 😉)

I had 3-4 weeks off Twitter with autistic burnout recently & my engagement is right down (also due to standing up to a vile group of trolls on here-they reported me lots, restricting my reach). If you see this photo it would be so ace if you could RT it or drop me a quick hello if you have a moment, both of which help an account get back on track. I also hope these little violas ping some floral dopamine in your meat computer & give you a small lift 🌿

AT LAST!!!
After 40 years of uncertainty, we finally have a chance to own our forever home.
We need to raise £500,000 to purchase our building and secure the home of cinema history, but we need to do that by December,.
Please give if you can crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/Onvr1…
@StephenKing - had a dream last night where I was working on a film with a storyboard artist who also did graphic novels. He was telling me about a Stephen King project he was on, based on a series of short stories centred on a figure called The Laughing Man.

Interested in learning about structuring an entire series of TV Drama? 📺
Script Consultant and TV Producer Yvonne Grace delves into the intricacies of structuring a full series of TV in our latest BBC Writers Blog Post! ✍
"Writing for series television requires a specific skill base and a mindset which involves firstly thinking of the Big Picture – the macro view of the story as a whole, and then honing in on the micro view – the smaller, incremental beats of the series storyline." - Yvonne Grace

Only 4 days to go until my big challenge… 5 marathons over 5 consecutive days. I had my last training session today, and I can safely say it’s gonna be tough. If you’re able to share my page or donate anything at all, it’d be massively appreciated 💙 justgiving.com/page/charlie-…
I don't know Paul Gerrard except through his work. He creates the most amazing characters and creatures which have been used in major feature films and TV series for years ... He's got a new art book in the horizon; great news for fantasy and horror fans studiogerrard.co.uk/woundcod…

Younger daughter & I have made 4 small museum kits for mental health-beautiful vintage tins containing tiny printers’ tray-like storage compartments, a collection of small precious items with hand-written list of what they are & from which era👂🏼,plus a booklet I’m writing about how collecting & arranging & sorting your collections alters brain biochemistry to improve mental health.
These are one-off items 3-4 hrs of work gone into each. If you’re interested pls message me on etsy here (click ‘contact shop owner’ near my photo): etsy.com/uk/shop/silverpebbl…

There's recent very compelling research showing that collecting & also arranging your collections neatly alters brain biochemistry to alleviate anxiety & lift mood.
Includes:

I would love to work with a team on the next project.
Share and spread the word about my solo indie animated feature film that you can watch right here:
watch.eventive.org/wd/play/6…
This looks amazing! Pay what you think is appropriate for 15 days access to this awesome animation ( he's also looking at a blu-ray release, so finger crossed there's a chance for a physical media version to add to my movie collection 😀)
I used blender to make this solo 2hr animated feature film with a budget of 135k.
I can’t imagine what I could do with $30mil… that is insane.
The films will be public for 15 days only right here:

My Etsy shop is now open for my 5 sets of greetings cards: spring, summer, autumn, nature/botanical collections & tiny posies. I post to the US now too.
I create each of my photos using recent neuroscientific research so that looking at them shifts your brain away from fight or flight. A great way to support me:

Cracked windshield on the car, so took it through to Autoglass in Cardington for replacing... cue a wander round the lake in Priory Country Park in the rain.
Sitting, naming and indexing files for a promo video edit, bottle of ginger beer to hand, Jethro Tull on speakers. I bloody love editing 🙂 (and file management is oddly satisfying) @andrewcant_real
