Martin, I didn’t write about Alien in the last post you weirdo. But ok, will put my thinking cap on for that meme.
Rach – I love it darling! Let’s draw up some plans and submit them to the Mr. Men people.
GD – well obviously, why do you think I’m so excited?? Actually, I do believe one is called MR. RUDE! How’s that for art imitating life, hey?? : P

A part of every writer’s life is REJECTION. Sad but true! 😭Yes … even (especially?) me 😘I know that many of you feel fear about the prospect of getting rejected. This is natural✏️✒️✏️NO ONE wants to be told their work is not good enough. (Hell, no one wants to get ghosted and ignored, either) 👻But it’s important to realise one thing:ALL writers get rejected ⛔️NO writer will ever get **absolutely everything** they ever write published or produced. It’s just not how it works 📚🎬📝📺🎟When I was a baby writer 20 years ago, every rejection felt like a personal insult. Even worse, I would watch crap TV or bad movies or read badly-executed books and think ‘WTF! If this crap can get made, why can’t mine???’ 🤬Then I realised something … I had it backwards!!It doesn’t matter if something gets made that I think is rubbish. That ship has sailed ⛵️It’s been sold, it’s found its audience (or not) … and what I personally think is immaterial if other people like it anyway. So, it’s not ‘why me???’, but ‘Why NOT me?’ ❤️The moment I stopped looking to OTHERS and concentrated on MY OWN WRITING was when I started making real progress. Why? Because I stopped getting distracted, resentful, confused. Instead, I put my head down and got to work. It didn’t stop me getting rejected. In fact, I got rejected more than ever 🔥But that’s okay: with every ‘No’ I was closer to my ‘Yes’ ✅️I started making SERIOUS HEADWAY.You can too … or you can stay feeling distracted, resentful, confused.

And another #B2Wreviews ... BAD SISTERS This Apple TV series follows the Garvey sisters, 5 women who are bound together by the deaths of their parents when they were younger. They have sworn to always be there for one another, which is why they want to ‘save’ sister Grace.Grace is married to an absolute ‘prick’ of a man, John Paul. Unlike many villains in recent TV series and movies, there is NOTHING good about this character! He is an unrelenting asshole! (Quite thrilling at a time when most antagonists have back stories that make us realise *why* they are the way they are). This guy is a total psychopath and emotional terrorist, so we are totally on the Garvey sisters’ side, even as they fall into outrageous and despicable actions.Even worse, John Paul has the absolute luck of the devil as they fail to kill him, again and again and again. The majority of the story takes place in flashback, when John Paul is already dead. The series keeps us guessing over and over as to not only HOW he was killed, but WHO struck the deadly blow. The plotting is intricate and hilarious, with many sick, grisly and even sad developments. Such a rollercoaster! Best of all, the sisters are all highly differentiated characters in their own right. They feel 3D and interesting, with their own back stories and none of them are defined by the men or children in their lives. This really is the ‘Garvey sisters’ show, proving even ‘ordinary’ female characters who are wives and mothers needn’t be ‘traditional’.Easily one of my favourite shows of 2022. Watch it now! ...

Next up in #B2W reviews … BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVERI was really looking forward to this one and in many ways, I wasn’t disappointed.The beginning’s tribute to Chadwick Boseman via the Marvel letters is beautiful and brought a tear to my eye and a lump to my throat. The filmmakers have worked exceptionally hard to ensure Boseman’s presence is felt throughout the whole thing. There are also the same big ideas in this movie as its predecessor, but wisely they have not sought to simply try and recapture lightning in a bottle.WAKANDA FOREVER is a very different film; this is not a classic ‘hero’s journey’ for Shuri, who has lost her beloved brother and her way, unsure of herself and her talents. I loved the underwater sequences and Namor’s origin story is interesting. The fight scenes are fabulous and Namor is not the same kind of threat as Erik Killmonger. His proposal for Wakanda is pragmatic and plausible, so we can see how it will (rightfully) end with a truce. That said, this didn’t quite pull me in like the first. I felt Nakia and M’Baku were criminally under-used in particular, plus I wasn’t convinced about the Agent Ross /his ex-wife storyline (which figures, I felt Ross was the weakest link in the first BP movie too). But overall, a good movie that has done SO well considering it lost its beloved star. Well worth a watch. ... See MoreSee Less

Time for another #B2Wreviews … LOST GIRL was a TV series running between 2009 and 2015, focusing on Bo, a supernatural being who challenges her clan’s way of life. I caught up with recently on the FreeVee channel. Bo is ‘fae’ – magical creatures who walk amongst humans. Bo is succubus, a female demon who feeds on sex with men or women. She is joined by (were)wolf Dyson, siren Hale and human friends Kenzie and Lauren. Forced to choose sides between the light and dark fae, Bo refuses. Between them, she and her friends must protect humans and fellow creatures alike from various threats and ‘antagonists of the week’ every episode. I really enjoyed this series. It is like a grown-up TWILIGHT, only with far more interesting thematics going on. There’s also significant amounts of sex in it! Bo is a kick ass female lead with a sword! C’mon what more can you want??Actually it turns out, a lot! The LGBTQ thematics of this show are on point. I loved that Bo is bisexual, yet she is never shamed for it by other characters; in fact it’s celebrated as ‘part of her nature’. As a hyper-sexual bisexual myself, I was delighted it showed the idea of ‘sexual healing’. Bo NEEDS sex to recover from the various fights she gets in. When liking sex or being LGBTQ is almost always a character flaw, this was great. The first few seasons were my favourite. As with many series on the cusp on the Netflix era, LOST GIRL transformed from an episodic ‘story of the week’ type show to a serial. As it became the latter they introduced a long-running storyline about Bo’s father being Hades which just didn’t work for me because its reliance on Greek myth felt cheesy & overcooked. That said, I still recommend the early seasons most highly … and who knows, you might like the Hades storyline.Enjoy! ... See MoreSee Less
