Who? 😜

In the jungle, the mighty jungle… So, as it’s a brand new year, I thought I’d start 2026 off with a little post all about two films I’ve watched in the last 24 hours so that you don’t have to.

I watched the new Anaconda, so you don’t have to… #horrormoviereviews

#vss365 #dream He dreams about it every night. An old abandoned house; the corridors always changing every time he leaves a room; every room full of old VHS videotapes and amongst them, one single tape with his name on. Putting it into a machine he presses play…and that’s when he always wakes up.

“Time travel! Bah! That’s impossible,”said the scientist.”If it were possible, I would have invented it by now.”
“Why do you think I’m here?”The stranger, who claimed he was from the future responded.He pulled a gun, shot the scientist in the face, then slowly faded out of existence.

ADHD or not ADHD, that is the question… So, recently I’m out having lunch with a few friends - we’d all arranged to get together to exchange gifts for a little Secret Santa that we’d organised between us - when out of the blue, deep into a ...

My latest blog post #adhd #neurodivergent

Seriously. Is there any show currently on tv better than #slowhorses?
Roll on season 6…
There simply aren’t enough words to describe how much I love this show!!!!

I agree on some points, but I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would and gave it a solid 8/10

I’m
Not a big fan of musicals per se, but I love Sweeny Todd, Little shop of horrors, and Cabaret.
That’s about my benchmark

We DON’T want another incident like Babysitter 2 - the first being lots of fun, the second one ending up being a hot mess.

I DID rewatch Netflix’s Troll the other night, for the third time I might add, and still really enjoyed it ahead of Troll 2 coming on December 1st.
Have my reservations about the next one though, as it looks like it might be a riff on Godzilla vs kong, but hoping it’s as much fun as the first.

There wasn’t even really any songs that were memorable or that you could sing along to. The whole thing just felt a bit like a whole lot of nothing, and didn’t really work for me at all.

So, watched the first Wicked last night and that’s 2 1/2 hours I’m never ever getting back. It’s an interesting take on The Wizard Of Oz, but if you took out all the singing and trimmed the fluff at the beginning, it would be a much shorter film. (And yes, I DO know it’s a musical!)

I’m just going in to do my business, then leave.
I have no interest absolutely in what genitalia you have or haven’t got.
Chances are we’re never going to see each other again, so it’s no business of mine.

😂😂😂😂😂😂 I know, right?
I’m just sat here wondering who watches these remakes

Did anyone ever actually ask for Disney live-action remakes? I mean, IS there actually any demand for them or is it just a cash-grab?

RØRY - DEAD GIRL WALKING YouTube video by RØRY

The new Røry single is arguably her best to date. Both the song and the video are absolutely faultless as always.

It’s sad that we even need to say this out loud

One of the few constants though.
Death and taxes.

As a neurodivergent, masking is a big thing we do all the time. Dropping them is ALWAYS scary. And this whole theme - seeing what lies beneath - is such a scary concept. I love it!

We met because of our shared love of Røry’s music, but in just a few short months we’ve bonded and become so much more. We are now all so close like family, and you know what? I didn’t even realise I was missing a group of friends like them? But my life is so much better with them in it.

One of my #37club besties said today to me “how do you not know you’re neurodivergent?” And you know what? Never felt more seen, like she just validated everything I’ve ever suspected and like she was surprised I didn’t know.
Which is exactly why this bunch that I only met in March are my ppl.

In love with this cover - gives off very spooky vibes!

A trailer I made for my latest release…

#HorrorWritersChat!
Most of my male characters are afraid of not being in control, so go to extra effort to reassert control over the situations they find themselves in, often making things even worse.
Whereas the female characters are often more rational

#HorrorWritersChat!
My male characters often mistakenly think they’re the superior gender, when a lot of times it turns out the women are the mentally stronger. Because of all the extra shit they have to deal with that men take for granted. Like being able to walk safely alone at night without fear

#HorrorWritersChat!
Because my male characters so often want to do the right thing, they are almost always easily manipulated; blinded by their own hubris.
One of my ongoing themes I explore a lot in my work is how man is often ultimately more of a threat than any monster they help create.
