Tonight! My #shortfilm Feeding Grief to Animals will air on #BBC4 @ 10.30pm! A film about my experience of #miscarriage told through the medium of shadow puppetry. A story of grief and hope. I am so thrilled to finally be able to share it #bbcarts

The last of the orders for book 15 are going out this week. Sorry it's taken so long - currently sharing my office with a 5 month old baby Ghastling and time belongs to him, not me! #horror #gothic #ghoststories #workingmoms #familylife #work
I just submitted "Feeding Grief to Animals" to @cardiffminifilm via FilmFreeway.com! - Feels good to finally be able to send this out!
Ah, super excited to be one step closer to finishing the film! Here I am discussing #shadowpuppetry, the trials of making my first film in the middle of a pandemic (!) & of course, the subject matter: #miscarriage @FfilmCymruWales

Great to sit down and discuss another round of inspiring @FfilmCymruWales Ffolio projects. Diolch i Juls @theatre_reality for welcoming us and to both Juls & Rebecca for discussing their projects🎬
Read my #Gothic tale of #pregnancy & #superstition set against the tropical backdrop of the Philippines! Very excited to see this story in print, written during a very strange & turbulent time in my life.
Gothic decay, unnatural family history, and the macabre nature of pregnancy: @EditorRebecca chats about “Sometimes They Arrive Late” from Issue Two!

Heard from #LesMiserables today & it feels so relevant:
'There's a grief that can't be spoken,
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables'
Hugged my parents for the first time since March today, I don't know when I will be able to again. #Lockdown2
Today's goldfish scenario has pretty much summed #2020 up for me: 2 yr old daughter finds 'Joy' floating at the top of the pond, dead. Leaving 'Sadness' (our other fish) to swim alone in the depths...
Another scary one from me! This one is set in the Philippines inspired by a very strange experience I had when I was there... #gothic #horror #superstitions #amwriting

Four reasons to read Book 11 of @TheGhastling :
1. The stories are oh so spooky and lovely!
2. It’s edited and published by @EditorRebecca (New Gothic V.1 contributor)
3. It contains a beautiful story by @TimJ1973 (yet another V.1 alum)
4. IT’S GORGEOUS!
Just submitted my #shortfilm proposal 'Feeding Grief to Animals' for #ffolio @FfilmCymruWales 1st time I have ever written a script or created a storyboard! I've had a lot of fun meeting other talented folk & immersing myself in something new. Here's pic of process. Now I wait...

My Poem: How to Wear a Suitcase is one of the lines quoted in this - in fact this picture illustrates it. The girl even has red hair too. Link to my #poetry collection (which has this poem) in my twitter bio. @Listen_Softly
