Had a baby 5 weeks ago and I'm already back to my pre - pregnancy weight... AND she's sleeping through the night. Absolutely amazing what you can accomplish when you lie.

10 years ago I had all but £5 in my bank. My dream was to one day buy my own house with money I had made from being an artist. Today I'm picking up the keys to my friends house... so that I can feed her cat while she's on holiday. She's doing really well.

I used to deliver papers on a fancy estate. I remember looking at this one particular house & thinking "I'm going to own a home like that one day". Well, after 20 yrs of hard work I've just picked up the keys to that very house! Dream big folks & you too could be a cat-sitter.

one last thing. A producer may say he'll only produce your script if you get into bed with him. Whatever you do DON'T sleep with him. Make sure it is just sex. Keep going!

if you're feeling lost and hopeless. Just have faith in your script! Eventually someone will read it and then they will ask you to write a free treatment/episodic breakdown/outline of entire series/movie. Then eventually they'll change their email address. Keep going!

2016 I was in an uber. My driver was sad as he'd just found out his gf cheated on him. A drunk me insisted we get out & hav a cigarette. We talked. He cried. We hugged. Then he left me a 4* review?? Still, I often think about that precious moment & hope he still gets cheated on.

Y do ppl say writing TV comedy is hard? Literally all u need to do is create an A, B, C plot that intertwine/compliment/support one another w/likable/original but relatable characters who are motivated by things you can't mention and also set up a world but get to the hook ASAP.
